LESS THAN SECRET: A Livestream with Comic Creator Rainer Kannestine

Today at 1 pm EDT, Rainer Kannestine from Less Than Secret: A Cryptid Comic Anthology is joining me on this livestream!

Why? We’re celebrating the launch of our KickStarter campaign to get funding for the book! Check out the campaign while you can – Early Bird rewards will disappear April 10.

Find out more about Rainer by going to his Twitter.

I’m running a livestream every Thursday and Saturday for the month of April. Each stream will be dedicated to a contributor of Less Than Secret, and what story they made for the anthology.

Can’t watch it live? No problem! Streams get archived so you can watch them here on this site.

Thank you for watching!
You. Are. Awesome.

Halloween Ko-Fi Talk

I hope you can join me today from 1 pm to 3 pm EST on YouTube! I’m hosting a Ko-Fi talk with my writing friend Melanie and my comic buddy Ben Wright-Heuman.

What will we talk about in the livestream? Anything and everything from National Novel Writing Month to my recent switch to Ko-Fi!

That’s right – I switched away from Patreon, and went to Ko-Fi instead.

Why? Here’s the thing: I’ve been on Patreon since 2014, and Patreon support has helped fund over half of my comics. But they’ve been rolling out new features WITHOUT fixing the errors they have in their system. Like dropping pledges without warning to the patron OR the creator.

So I’m switching to Ko-Fi for a smoother, less glitchy experience.

Also, Ko-Fi has features that Patreon does not. Things like:

  • the ability to buy a coffee for your favorite creator,
  • giving JUST ONCE. (A monthly subscription is optional).
  • a shop feature!
  • a feature that lets you place a commission request from me!

(Seriously, how has Patreon not implemented those features?)

If you have any questions or concerns, this livestream is the best time to ask. So again, I’ll be streaming TODAY from 1 pm to 3 (ish) pm EST. Ask your questions over on YouTube.

If it’s not addressed in the livestream, I’ll write up a post to go in more depth about the switch. In the meantime, there are more details about rewards and what I’m trying to fund over on Ko-Fi.

Hope you can join us! Thank you for your support.

You. Are. Awesome.

Monsters Everywhere! A Live-Draw

This is a replay of a livestream I did earlier today.

I livestream every Saturday from 1 pm to 3 pm EST on YouTube. Every Saturday I share what I’m drawing, pro tips on being a better artist, and slices of my life. What do I draw? Every week it’s a different theme. This week’s stream theme? Monsters! MONSTERS EVERYWHERE!

Also in this stream/replay? A GIVEAWAY.

If this replay gets 40 likes on YouTube between now and the next stream, NeverEnding, Inc will give away a FREE health potion vial to a lucky viewer!

Which is fitting, because these monsters are being drawn for NeverEnding, Inc.

So be sure to give the replay a like on YouTube, yo.
