Welcome to the New Year! New hope abounds. New promises if only we keep working toward them. In the spirit of embracing change, I have an announcement to make. Debuting a new set every month throughout all of 2020 has been a pleasure and a blessing. My portfolio has always been an active endeavor with a focus on the future. As the pandemic continues to rage on it has been impossible for me to engage with my photographers and produce new content. With a dwindling reserve of photo sessions and a glimmer of light in vaccine rollouts, it is time to adapt our format to continue celebrating this art. Since my Patreon is on a project based (not monthly subscription) model, I will be releasing photosets on a quarterly basis this year and your pledges will only be collected with each release. You do not need to change anything on your end. Not on Patreon, nor on my site to view the galleries. I will continue to post (free) updates every month or so. I’ll share what’s happening in my life and when fresh art begins to blossom again. This community is a treasure and I’m so happy you’re on this journey with me.

This is the first time I’ve done a double photographer release! Braden Nesin and I collaborated on the VIP set, and Sean O’Connor shot the Backstage photos, helping me pimp a limited-release novella titled Declension. I’m especially enamored with this one! VIPs are getting the full 24 image photoset, and Backstage Patrons get an additional 42 image gallery today! You must be logged in on my site to view the galleries. Give the set some love by leaving a comment or clicking the heart below. As always, thank you to all my Patrons for your support. You make art happen.

Photographers: Braden Nesin & Sean O’Connor
