About Some News And Upcoming Artwork...
🕑 Added 2014-11-21 15:06:45 +0000 UTC Recently it came to my attention that an artist I commissioned long ago is involved in a Family Violence case. I highly suggest you read more about it in both articles linked at the bottom of this post. Because everyone should know where their monthly donation is going, I wanted to clarify that I am not currently working with Roc. This was because of scheduling issues, and it was already likely I would never have the opportunity to commission him again. I don't support violence, regardless of the circumstance. To quote Sam Maggs from The Mary Sue article, "It’s always difficult when someone who creates content you love does things with which you just can’t align yourself." There are still two images from him I have not yet posted here. I do feel the pieces are beautiful and should be shared. I will post both of them before the end of this month so that they are available but not really part of the Exiern donation bonus pool. Going forward, the bonus eStore/archive mid-month posts will be from our history of work from other artists. Currently 100% of donations go to Shipeng Lee, as part of his Bonus and to help cover the cost of the art he does. I hope peace, safety, and healing can be found. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/11/18/comics-artist-john-upchurch-arrested-on-charges-of-battery-misdemeanor/ http://www.themarysue.com/rat-queens-artist-domestic-abuse/Comments
STH, As a survivor of spousal abuse I can testify that allegations do not a crime make. Men usually do not report the mental, psycological and sometimes physical abuse of their spouses. All men are not beasts and all women are not innocent victims. This is YOUR decision and I support your choice to do as YOU see fit. I simply point out that an arrest is not a conviction. stay safe, capn
