Become a Modern Day Art Hero
You're may well be aware of how I'm interested in finding creative ways to support and share my practice with others – the One for you, one for me offer being a great example, my weekly newsletter another.
Recently I've talking with a few people about patronage. Patronage has a long history in the arts. For centuries it's been a way for individuals (or groups) to show their appreciation for and to contribute to the ongoing creation of an artist's work.
With this in mind I'd like you to consider becoming a patron (or as I prefer to think, a Modern Day Art Hero) of my practice.
For the price of a single cup of coffee every month (mine's a long black) you can become a fully fledged Modern Day Art Hero - a patron of the contemporary arts. Well, of my art in particular.
What you'll get from subscribing
As a Modern Day Art Hero you'll…
receive an original hand-made postcard made by me. I'm thinking a drawing, perhaps a collage or whatever takes my fancy. Something a little different and unique, just for you.
be first to know about future projects. For example, the next time I run the One for you, one for me offer I'll release it to all the modern day art heroes before opening it up to anyone else.
find the occasional electronic postcard in your Inbox. I'm thinking of four a year. They'll contain exclusive content – raw ideas, sketchbook notes, different images – something extra not found in the weekly newsletters.
In addition I hope you'll get to feel pretty great, awesome in fact, knowing your patronage will be supporting the continuing development of my practice and coffee appreciation.
So what do you reckon — fancy becoming a Modern Day Art Hero, a fully paid up patron of the arts for the monthly price of a good cup of coffee?
$3.50 NZD a month / $10.50 NZD a quarter
Payment details
I'm managing the payments via PayPal. It's easy to use and you don't need to have a PayPal account to become a patron.
Using the button above you'll be billed $10.50 NZD every three months.
One off payment
If you'd rather you can pay for the year in one go ($42 NZD).
Donation
Alternatively… If you fancy buying me a muffin to go with my coffee every now and then or if you've won the lotto and are feeling particularly heroic, you can always make a donation as you see fit.
Possible questions you may have
What if I don't want to subscribe?
Not a problem. The newsletter will always be free, you'll still get to hear about new projects and opportunities and you'll always be able to see my work on my website. I'm happy you're interested in what I'm up to. Stoked in fact.
$3.50 for a long black?
Okay, I admit it – occasionally I'll have a cappuccino ($4.00) so while long blacks tend to average $3.00, the extra 50c seemed a good way to allow for those cappuccino moments.
Anything else you need to know?
Like the One for you project, this is an experiment. It'll run for a year. If, after the 12 months are up it's not working I'll stop it, though I'm hopeful all will be fine and dandy. Either way I'll let you know what's happening.
How do I unsubscribe?
If you want to stop your subscription no problem.
You can unsubscribe via PayPal.
And as ever, if there are any problems I'm confident we can sort them out like the decent people we are.

Sweet.
