[Patron Preorders] Artbites pocket folio

I did promise that being a patron comes with the perks of first dibs on physical goods, right...?

So in brief: I will be offering these little things, pocket portfolios from a few years ago. B5 format, 35 illustrations on glossy paper. And as my patrons, you not only get first dibs, but also a neat discount. They'll either be up for a limited sale in February on their own, or in June along with another of my projects, but if you want to make sure you get a copy, I can set it aside for you.

January so far has been quieter than I originally thought. Some of you may remember that in December 2022, my old bookshop/company warehouse (ware-room?) was destroyed when a hot water pipe exploded all over it. In late December 2023 (yes, a year later), the insurance company finally closed the case and paid off the damages (or, well... a fraction of them, but at least I do not have to renovate the place out of my own pocket), so I have been going through the office, dismantling ruined furniture and scrapping lost books.

It's also a good excuse to run inventory stocks though, and the depths of my archival boxes yielded a few treasures that were there from my convention-going days, some of which did survive the soggy purge. One of my last pieces of merch I had made back then was a pocket folio of digital sketches. The copies on top were damaged, but some hidden deeper that were still wrapped in the protective foil from manufacturing seem surprisingly mostly fine.

I was always fond of this one, since a lot of the doodles were made purely for fun. I had even started compiling volume 2 back then, but then things and pandemic happened, meaning most of my original stock suddenly ran out of places to sell them, so I never got around to making another one. But if these sell, I will definitely give the whole idea another thought or ten.

I need to manually go through each of the copies and check for damages, however, so I currently don't know exactly how many will be available. Depending on how many are left, they will go on sale separately (in February), or I will offer them along with another thing I am currently working on (which should be ready in June). They'll be 8€ for patrons, 12 for regular crowd. (Shipping not included).

If you want to make extra sure I have one left for you, feel free to let me know below, I can set it aside with your name on it.
