Cabana Club Upgrade!

Hello my beautiful friends!

It's been another crazy month and there is a lot to share with you! As you may recall from my previous update, I had to remove the Monthly Art Raffle rewards from the Cabana Club to comply with Patreon's Terms of Use. You all have been so kind as I work through this issue and I appreciate the encouragement and the ideas that were brought to me on how I can fill the gap. In particular I want to thank Miss Creant, who is the brains behind most of what I'm announcing today!

You might have noticed that the Club banner has changed to include most of what Crabby's got to offer as well as the Cabana personas of those who have shared what theirs would be like (please always feel free to share what yours would be like for future additions!) But most noticeably, there's a big ol' PINBOARD taking up all that screen real estate!

Yep! We're going to be doing a monthly PIXEL PIN!

Here is how this is gonna work:

Public:

• All pin announcements will be accessible to the public

All Patrons:

• All patrons will have access to a Monthly Pin Poll to decide which idea will be made into a Pixel Pin and added to the pinboard.
• I'll be offering "Cabana Pin Club Member since ___" html badges (currently troubleshooting html sharing on Patreon) featuring that month's pin, available to all Patrons.
• Transparent PNGs of all pins and a blank pinboard will be available for all patrons for their own Pixel Pin Collections.

$3+ Patrons: 

• This tier will have access to the Pin Designer Template so they can design their own Pixel Pins!
• Send your pin design to me and I'll feature it and make it into an html badge for you! (currently troubleshooting html sharing on Patreon) 

$5+ Patrons:

• This tier will have access to the Pin Pal posts to discuss ideas for the Monthly Pin Poll options.
• You also get an html Crabby's Pin Pal badge, which is pretty cute if I do say so myself. Y^v^Y (currently troubleshooting html sharing on Patreon)

I've also added a new GOAL! If we can get enough people to join the Cabana Club, I'll start getting select Pixel Pins made into real ENAMEL PINS (omg!) and offered at a discount to patrons!

Okay, whew.. so I'll be posting a bunch of stuff to the appropriate tier levels, so stay tuned.

But first...

I HAVE MORE NEWS!

It's crazy to think how far things have come for me in such a short time, but I'm finding that it's almost out of my control how fast things are moving along. I've been invited to share a table with Regina GameDev next weekend at QC Anifest as my first venture into the world of conventions!

It's an incredible opportunity and I'm honored to have gotten to work with Regina GameDev a bit so I am looking forward to it. Don't get me wrong, I'm also quite nervous and unprepared. I'm going to be directing all attention to prepping for this starting tomorrow! Wish me luck and chill vibes!

Thanks for reading, I love you guys. <3

Your fan,
