Updates to My Website (and Life) This Week

Today I’m sharing some updates I’ve made to my website and my life this week.

RESOURCESI’ve added new resources, including zine libraries where you can download (and in some cases print) free zines!

MEMBERSHIPS – “Fan Clubs” has been replaced with “Memberships,” which directly links to my Ko-fi Memberships page.

WIDGETS – I removed some outdated widgets. Also updated my “Upcoming Appearances.” More appearances to come as soon as I confirm some events behind-the-scenes.

THUNDERBIRD – apparently Google has been doubling down on being evil, so I’m moving my calendar events from Google Calendar to Thunderbird. Thunderbird is much more secure, anyway. Also Thunderbird allowed me to import the previous calendars, so moving was a breeze.

CONTACTING REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS – I already knew about 5calls.org as a resource. But my mind was blown when someone on Bluesky recommended “just make a short list of the issues so you only have to make one phone call to your rep.” I thought that was GENIUS. I will be making lists more often.

Sub point – Resistbot is available on Telegram. Just text RESIST to 50409. Resistbot makes it easy to sign petitions and send letters to your reps and to the op-ed sections of your local newspapers.

Sub point – Reddit now has r/onethingtodo, which gives one thing that’s easy to do each day to reduce the amount of suck in the world.

YOUTUBE STREAMS – I set up the next livestream this week. You can find it now on my channel.

Yes, I am aware YouTube is a Google product. I’ll be looking into alternatives to YouTube over the next few weeks.

MARTIAL ARTS – I’ve started taking martial arts classes through a local dojo! It’s only been a week or two, but I’m making progress.

That’s all I’ve got for now. I need to get back to the studio to work on some comics. More substantial updates will be coming soon, including a call for a boycott and the conditions for it.

Thank you for reading!

You. Are. Awesome.

The Membership Campaign’s FINAL COUNTDOWN

a header shows kelcidcrawford on ko-fi. Under the "Memberships" tab are 3 options - Digital Club at $3 per month, the Zine + Sticker Club at $5 per month, and the Art Club at $10 per month

It’s the Ko-fi Membership Campaign’s FINAL COUNTDOWN (queue “The Final Countdown” by Europe).

To celebrate, I’m running a YouTube livestream on the final day, Jan 31 at 6 pm ET. Feel free to tune in, watch me draw, and let me answer any questions you may have about Ko-fi.

As a reminder, we are at 10 members currently – we’re trying to get to 12 members by the end of Jan 31! By doing that, all members (new and current) will get a Little Caticorn mini-print, a Prince Odinon mini-print, and a Caticorns zine.

If you’re interested in becoming a member, head to my Ko-fi Memberships page and check the options that work best for you.

Broke? There are two free things you can do: Subscribe to my YouTube channel and spread the word about the Membership Drive! Sharing is caring and helps a lot.

Thank you for your support!

You. Are. Awesome.

P.S. I’m also available for Valentine’s Day commissions. More info is on my Commissions page.

The Membership Drive Have Slowed. Will It Pick Back Up?

Things have really slowed down in the Ko-fi Membership Drive. Will things pick back up?

Here’s what we’ve got so far:

  • We made it to 10 total members on my page! Which means all members will get a Little Caticorn mini-print mailed out to them after Jan 31.
  • At 12 members, all members will get that mini-print PLUS a Caticorns pocket zine mailed to them.
  • That Caticorns zine got drawn live on YouTube! You can catch the replay here.
  • We still need to hit the 12 member threshold for folks to get this zine. Which means we just need two more people to join the club!

So if you have the means, consider joining as a Ko-fi Member on my page!

If you are broke, do not stress about it. Seriously. The two best things you can do to support this drive if you’re broke as heck are:

  • Spread the word to the folks in your life who like comics about genderqueer pirates, caticorns, dragons, and adventure! Use the link ko-fi.com/kelcidcrawford
  • Subscribe to my YouTube channel. My other goal this year is to get to 1,000 subscribers on YouTube before the end of the year. It’s free and you get to see my art process in my livestreams!

That’s all I’ve got for now. Spread the word and get some zines!

Thank you for your support.

You. Are. Awesome.

Week 1 and We Have Unlocked A Goal!

We are one week into the Ko-fi Membership Drive and we have already unlocked a goal!

Now that we have 10 members on Ko-fi, everyone of these members are receiving a Little Caticorn 4×6-inch mini-print!

The next goal is 15 members – when we hit that, everyone will receive the Little Caticorn mini-print AND the Forest Spirit 4×6-inch mini-print!

For the folks who have joined recently, thank you for your patronage. Your rewards will mail out on/after February 1st, 2025. Also you can start receiving early access to The Legend of Jamie Roberts already!

There are more benefits to membership – like shop discounts, exclusive zines and mini-comics, exclusive art, first dibs on commissions, and more. To get these perks, head to my Ko-fi page and join!

Alternatively, you can give just once, and get access to shop discounts and first dibs when I’m available for commissions.

If you want to get your hands on some goodies, I now have some bundles for you to check out:

Keep in mind, you can ONLY get these bundles during this membership drive. So you have UNTIL JAN 31 to claim these. Once the drive closes, the 2024 bundles are gone forever.

So can we make it to 15 members? Who will claim the 2024 rewards? Stay tuned for more updates next week!

Thank you for your support!
