Patreon Reborn

The Apple Tree Pirates has been a pet project of mine for a number of years now. A few years back I made a Patreon page to support it and so I could get things made and out there for the world to see. Sadly with life taking the twisty windy road that is normally the way it kind of got shelved and left to gather dust. Now this has bugged the hell out of me because a project as cool as this should be made and published not left to languish. 
As I said in my previous blog post my priorities have changed a lot recently and the Apple Tree Pirates has been pushed up the list...... a lot. So with that in mind I've gone over the Patreon page again and modernised it a bit, rewritten some of it and want to launch it anew. 
This is where you guys come in. My intentions are to crack on and draw the Apple Tree Pirates comics, kids books, and activity books and get these little dudes into the public eye. To do that takes time and some new gear wouldn't go a miss either but that can wait. If I can earn enough money from selling my artwork online and the support on the Patreon page then I will be able to work less hours in my day job and spend much more time on making these books a reality. 
So if you feel you want to become a patron from as little as 64 pence a month or you know someone who would then share it around and lets see if we can get the Apple Tree Pirates published and in your local book shops. 

Apple Tree Pirates Giveaway

Good Morning folks. 
I have a little treat for you all today. I have decided to run a little giveaway in which you could be in with a chance of winning an original piece of Apple Tree Pirates artwork. For those of you who don't know the Apple Tree Pirates is an all ages comic I am working on based around the musings of my now 5yr old daughter. It is a silly, colourful bit of fun which should appeal to everyone from toddlers up to pensioners. To progress the project into new levels of awesomeness I have set up a Patreon to help fund the dream of one day getting my daughters ideas into shops like Waterstones and the like. The intention of this giveaway is to raise awareness of the project and hopefully even get a few more supporters as well. You can check out the Patreon by clicking the link below.

So now to the Giveaway. To be in with a chance of winning an original piece of Apple Tree Pirates artwork all you need to do is follow and share using the sweepstake box below. You get an entry for every box you fulfil as well as an extra entry for every referral you make using the link given. The giveaway ends on the 19th June and the winner will be announced shortly afterwards.

Good luck folks now lets get sharing. :-)

I like Vlogging.

I thought I'd try something a little different and do a Vlog for you all to see exactly what's going on at the Pickle. Enjoy
