Okay, here is my plan based on your feedback. (thank you for that, by the way!)
I think for now I'm going to release a bunch of chapters, but not all of them. Hopefully enough to get people to subscribe to this Patreon.
Hopefully, that will get more people listening here.

Patreon is very wonderful, and thanks to you guys we are making progress with all kinds of projects I just would not have had time for without your support.
THANK YOU!
By far the biggest undertaking of them all is "The Airship Pirate Chronicles". With a 15 person cast, and maybe 30 hou...

Steampunk has changed a lot since the early days. At the beginning, it was a lot of edgy artists in tiny little clubs, doing all this super cool stuff. Ariel's, iron sculptures, vaudevillian music, etc. This was before it became the fodder for reality...

I just want to thank you all for subscribing to this Patreon! This has been the most amazing thing for Abney Park.

This is the song Gimme A Reason.
It all started with a concept I had, while sitting on a plane. A stewardess was giving the little safety lesson, and at the same time I was watching this horrid mom across the isle yelling at her kid. She looked beaten by life, poor, angry, disappointed, sad,...

Since starting production on this audio drama for The Airship Pirate Chronicals, I've been finding myself more and more sucked back into that world, which has been wonderful.
One of the things I'm enjoying is doing the color work on the illustration that Juan Pablo Valdecantos Anfuso did for ...
For your fourth free song, I'm giving you the title song of our latest album, "Under The Floor, Over The Wall".
When I wrote this song, I had an interesting goal. Fans often talk about liking "story songs", but when I think of the story songs I know, they aren't really st...

I've been absolutely swamped with auditions for the radio play, and I'm just beyond excited with how great this is going to come out. I'll probably have the next chapters by the end of next week, so look forward to that!

Today, on our Patreon page, the first to chapters of "The Airship Pirate Chronicles Radio Drama" will be released...and I'm very nervous about it. I'm nervous for a couple of reasons.

2017-02-16 20:40:34 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, so, I've got the first three chapters finished, and they sound amazing!
My current plan is to release the first two chapters on Monday. At that point I'll release a couple chapters (20-30 minutes worth) once a month.

When other patreon artists post the free stuff, do they put it in a post like I am doing?
Or is there a better way?

Often I'll listen back to old songs from many years ago, and think, "that's a great song, but the production quality is terrible!" It makes me positively itch to r...

Here is how that could work best: I'd upload huge resolution files, for you to download. Then you take it to a poster printing site, and order whatever size you want. See, selling posters is always a little iffy,...
2017-02-12 19:00:39 +0000 UTC View PostI wrote this poem a few weeks ago, when I was feeling scared about the state of the world. Once upon I time I had thought politics can are pointless, because I had no influence, and therefor the only way to live happy is to simply ignore the state of the world, and live right, in isolation. Then I...

When a whale dies in the ocean, its body becomes a town for fish, and other creatures, who feed of the carcass and live in it for decades. Being me, I immediately pictured a massive airship crashing in the wastelands, and scavenger fol...
