The Pecha Patch

GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!

I'm moving house! :D I'm finally going to be able to move into a safe, stable flat that's in *my* name, not the name of a charity or partner! It'll be mine!

,,,,However

Unfortunately, I can't afford to move. I'm on the UK's disability/unable to work benefit (ESA) and personal independance payment (PIP) a lot of which goes straight out on my bills and overhead. I can make up the deposit (~£500) but that's going to wipe out my savings, and I need money for carpeting, white goods, curtains, furniture, and storage for my stuff while i sort everything out. We're talking about costs of around £500 more minimum for cheap carpets, white goods and bedroom furniture. I can provide a breakdown of costs if needed, and photos of the flat's current state from my viewing.

This is massive; it's a huge turning point in my life, where i finally get out of supported living! I'm ready for it, and I'm actually hopeful for the first time in a long time!

So, can you help me?

I'm not just expecting money as handouts, so no worries about that! I'm doing a special deal on my commissions;

waist-up coloured sketches for £18!

Here's some examples of my art! These are fairly recent, from ArtFight 2022, though if you want more recent examples I'm happy to provide my polished adopt work! If you want to help out but don't want art from me, I've set up donations via paypal.me; just remember to hit 'sending to friends and family'!

Any straight-up donations above £5 and/or any purchases above £30 total you make to them will get you a free sketch from me! See below for examples of what I’ll do!

Hewwo! I'm Scribbly, and I'd like to talk to you about my kickstarter!

I designed these really cute hoots, and I'd like to make them into charms and stickers!

But I need your help! I'm disabled and can't work; I'm hoping to sell my art to make enough money to support myself. This is the first time I've crowdfunded like this!

On top of some really cool loot and variant designs, backers on reward tiers will get this kickstarter exclusive iridescent void owl sticker!

>Here’s my amazon wishlist.<

There’s not a lot on there, and nothing over £40. It’s a mix of stuff I need - thermal stuff, clothes, and a dehumidifier because the insulation in my place is worse than cardboard and I’m always cold and mildew is destroying everything i own and I have mold creeping up my walls - stuff i think would be useful, like cute kitchen stuff, and stuff i just think is cool or nice. My birthday is always a shitty time of year; this year I’d,, kind of like it not to be. There’s no pressure at all, and I’m not expecting anything from anyone, but. It’s there.
