Artists shape culture.
Culture is the accumulation of the ideas and movements we say yes to.
When you support an Artist, you’re voting for their ideas.
Not just with your dollars — with your attention, your belief, your amplification.
If you're here, it's probably because something I’ve created - a photo, a podcast, an idea made you feel something.
This page is your way to say: keep going.
What You're Supporting
You're not just supporting me.
You're supporting a body of work focused on Artist Consciousness as a cultural force.
🔹 Amplifying nonprofits and community orgs through full-value creative work
🔹 Releasing two books, a photography brand, and a nonprofit built around storytelling
🔹 Producing Burner Podcast and other cultural documentation projects
Building a more honest, intentional, collaborative way to work as an artist
The Nonprofit Gifting Model
A major part of this Patreon is an experiment.
Once we hit $5,000/month, I’ll allocate 1–2 days a month to serve nonprofits, mutual aid orgs, and cultural projects — at my full commercial rate, fully paid by this community.
Patrons will nominate and vote for who we serve next.
But we’re not waiting for $5K to begin.
The moment we hit $2,500, we greenlight the first project.

Patreon Tiers
No matter what level you join at, all support goes toward the same shared mission.
Support Levels
🔹 $5 → Artist - You're saying: keep going. You believe in the work.
🔹 $25 → Ally - You’re part of the foundation. Quiet support, big ripple.
🔹 $50 → Advocate - You want to see this work reach more people and places.
Philanthropist Levels
🔸 $100 / $250 / $500 - You're helping fund full-value work for nonprofits and community causes.
You’ll get to help nominate and vote on where that support goes next.
You’ll get to help nominate and vote on where that support goes next.
I’ll keep this experiment running through the end of 2025. If it gains traction, we extend it. If not, I pivot.
But for now, this is how we create something better — together.

You can stay anonymous or go public.

The Artists we support shape the culture we live in.
Every law, trend, and movement starts as an idea. When you support an Artist, you’re not just endorsing their work, you’re voting for the version of reality you want to exist.
Support can look like a monthly pledge on Patreon, subscribing to the email list, following on Instagram or YouTube, or forwarding this to someone who may be interested in hiring me.
