Blog – New Ways to Buy (or just support me if you want) – 2-12-18

In my last update I said be on the look out for me setting up an online store in the near future (in addition to Amazon) and I’ve delivered. Now, if you want to buy my books and other things I have created (while supporting me a little more directly) you can buy them from this Storenvy page. It’s a little Spartan right now, but over the next few weeks I’ll be adding more books, and stickers, and postcards, and all sorts of neat things.

In a similar vein, if you’re in Alpine Texas and want to have a look at some of my books they are now at Vintage Antiques and Snazzy Things (or VAST) right on main street! (and some of my postcards are at the Marfa Museum Thrift Store if you’re in the area).

Finally, if you’re interesting in helping me out directly without the intermediary of a book (I know plenty of people that don’t like physical objects or have room), I now have a Patreon page (a voluntary subscription platform) set up. Again, things are likely to change over there as I figure things out, with any luck it’ll turn into a pretty cool place, and every dollar is very much appreciated.

Blog 3-21-16 – Announcement and Update

Announcement Part:

Hello everyone. Austin Smith, writer of this Blog and other Internet things here, going to talk about something that I’ve been waiting to talk about since last September (sort of). I’m going to be part of a (art/gallery) show with several artists from my local area.

It’ll be my first show in an actual gallery with me on the flyer and stuff. I’m including links to the other artists (Tommy, Chris), and I know they will be doing some great stuff for the show that I won’t spoil here. But I can say that I’m very happy with what I’m going to have there: including a few new books that will soon also be available on my Amazon page, stickers, bookmarks, postcards, actual work that goes on the wall, and maybe some other really cool stuff.

If you can make it, I hope to see you there, but I know that it’s pretty far out of the way for most people, so I will be posting as much about it as I can, and trying to figure out how to get some of the cool things I made out to a wider audience.

Blog Part:

Wow, when I made that post about being late last week I had no intention of it taking a week or more to get back up to speed, but that looks like what has happened. For this I apologize. But migraines carry with them lasting negative effects, and I’ve really only had one good, functioning day this week, and quite a bit of my work time was consumed by preparations for the show that had to be created and ordered in time to make it. Still, I wish I had been able to get more done faster, and I thank you for being patient if you were waiting for new stuff. I will catch up on everything I missed, but it might take a few days to get back to normal.
