Jesse Moynihan is forming a webcomic they’ve been posting for free since 2009. The money in the indie/webcomics world for most creators is not enough to even remotely cover living expenses. This Patreon is an experiment to see if they can work exclusively on a comic and only lose a little bit of money over the course of this year. Their patrons-age will buy them time to fully dedicate themselves to finishing up this 7 year epic sci-fi project. They don’t know how successful this will turn out to be, but any amount will definitely help. At the $2 Patreon level, patrons will have access to “The Lodge”: a work in progress blog relating to Forming, thumbnails, design sketches, research notes, as well as essays on storytelling, music, animation and comics. At the $5 Patreon level, patrons will have access to “The Lodge” and “The Temple”: a blog that will follow their research and development of a personal Tarot deck. Each time they finish a card, patrons will get a hi resolution PDF of it. This is a project they’ve been planning since they began study of the Tarot about 4 years ago. They’re doing this as a means of deepening and personalizing their understanding and connection to the symbols in each card. The images will be based loosely on the Marseille deck and their readings of Eliphas Levi, Manly P Hall, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Joseph Campbell, Aleister Crowley, A. E. Waite, Stuart Kaplan and others. Once the whole deck is complete, hopefully this will culminate in an art show somewhere here in Los Angeles. This second blog will also be home to some super secret animation projects that they’re developing with their brother Justin.
