Patreon is a membership platform that enables artists to get paid directly from their readers.
From Patreon: For creators, Patreon is a way to get paid for creating things (webcomics, videos, songs, whatevs). Fans pay as little as a few bucks per month for direct access to the creations. For patrons, Patreon is a way to join your favorite creator's community and pay them for making the stuff you love. This means the creator actually gets paid for their work and you become a bonafide, real-life patron of the arts. And imagine your favorite creators making a living doing what they do best… because of you. From my Patreon 'About" page... Thank you to all of you who have encouraged me to continue editorial cartooning this circus we call New Hampshire politics. And a big Thank You to those of you have become Patrons of Up on the HiLL! Having lost the opportunity to continue my editorial cartooning in the state's newspapers I have now moved my work entirely online and it is being funded by you, the readers. I Would greatly appreciate your contributions in support of this endeavor (and I'll give you free stuff!). Up on the Hill is the continuation of my New Hampshire editorial cartoon work. My opinions are now expressed through the characters of Harlan and Gemma Whetstone, a couple of wicked liberal, rural natives whose formative years were during the 60s and 70s. The Whetstones live up on a hill in Mapleville New Hampshire in an old New England farmhouse with their dog Pup and a cat named Mister. I produce at least three strips a week - one will be open-posted and the rest will be for Patreon members only starting at the $3 level. Members will receive the strips on Mondays as soon as I finish them - before they're posted anywhere else! I'll also be posting Patron-only extras as time permits. -MM
