Hello intelligent and attractive patrons of the arts! I’m a New Yorker cartoonist, writer, teacher and author of Flying Couch: a graphic memoir. I'm&nbsp;working on my second graphic memoir, Artificial: a love story, forthcoming with Catapult in [when I finish it]. Here on Patreon, I'm looking to share insights into the creative process, or maybe just laughs, with you. I'm also looking to build a comics-curious creative community in safe, ad-free space. Join me!&nbsp;

Free

This tier is for friends and art lovers. If you'd like you to say "thanks!" "keep it up!" or just "hi Amy!" in response to the cartoons and comics I post for free on my instagram and elsewhere, this is the tier for you. You can expect to hear from me on (some) Sundays. I may shoutout early access to classes, events or other artistic excitement. I may share a brief and illuminating ramble with insight into my process and my current trials and tribulations. I may collect and share links to work and insights from the wider Amy's Creative Community. You may receive videos of me drawing (so soothing!), and/or high-res printable cartoons and/or drawings (they make great gifts!) Folks, this is the $2 tier... it's all up for grabs! Guaranteed: You’ll experience the glowing moral satisfaction of supporting the genuinely hard work I put into my comics and cartoons, much of which is not paid with actual money.

Friends

This tier is for artists, students, the comics-curious, and those seeking artistic community. In addition to Friend-benefits, those in the Creative Community will get access to a monthly, live, virtual event with me. I'll offer lessons, formal tips, creative prompts to guide your practice, and other teacherly-things per communal direction. This tier also gives you access to my growing archive of recorded classes. There's over 50... binge 'em all! Plus you can connect with a growing community of like-minded creators via an Amy's-Creative-Community-Only chat here on Patreon, where you can post your work from in and out of our monthly classes, to solicit positive feedback, support, and tips from me and other patrons in this tier.
