Upcoming Events
I have a couple cons for next year that I’m finalizing my arrangements with. I should be able to announce them by the next newsletter.
If you know of any events that are accepting artists, let me know!
Experimental Offerings
For a while now, I’ve been looking for new things to offer my lovely Patrons, especially once higher reward tiers are revealed. Over the next couple of months, I intend to start testing out a few of my proposed ideas. These tests will not be exclusive to Patrons, as I need as much feedback as I can get.
Some of the tests I plan to roll out are:
1. Art Streams. Using a streaming service, I would regularly walk viewers through the live creation of a CosPain strip. Sometimes I would be working solo, while other times I would be bringing on a guest to talk about comics, cosplay, and anything else relevant to the strip.
2. RPG Podcasts. I am in a roleplaying group that meets online every week for a game, and we have discussed recording our game sessions for online distribution. I have been working on a new campaign setting that I hope to be able to roll out in the not-too-distant future, and I would be very interested in streaming it or posting an edited recording of it.
3. AMAs. I don’t know how often I would practically be able to do these, but I would love to have a stream where you can ask me questions directly. You get these newsletters from me every week, but I’d love the opportunity to talk to you guys and get to know you more.
I will give you plenty of advance warning once I have dates for these experimental offerings.

Wrap-Up
Nothing quite like a successful week after having been sick! If you want to support my work further, please visit my online store. I also have Patreon and Ko-Fi accounts if those are more your speed.
Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.
