Does anyone have experience of using patreon? Am not quite sure if it's a good idea, but it seems to be about getting supported to make creative work and also building a community of fans/ supporters around your work. All things that I need and don't have, but the way things work nowadays - galleries, publishers etc - I don't see how creative people can possibly survive on their work, especially if it's not mainstream "product"|.
So maybe this is the answer for those of us experimenting with non-commercial creative projects? Bit like kickstarter I suppose/ crowd funding. Not sure how to use it yet, or how to make a success out of it. It might be a waste of time though, like a lot of these online things ... There's something a bit cheesy about it as well, the "best practices" video I found particularly irritating, but maybe that's my old man response. dave
