Patreon 2.0 Hits November 13, 2023

Posted on November 9, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Patreon 2.0 Hits November 13, 2023

It is true.

It is time.

Patreon 2.0 launches this November 13. I’m aiming to premiere the trailer Sunday evening then do a full-blast posting Monday to launch the page and invite one and all into the PATREON REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS.

There are two tiers and they’ll be displayed in full on launch day, but to sum them up, they are:

Tip Jar: $1. Just a general tip to help me along in the art world with my deepest thanks.

All-Access: $5. For just five bucks a month you get everything content that I put on the Web plus the following just for you:

Artwork only revealed here. Nowhere else. Public art is here.

Learn what goes on behind the scenes in bringing you books, comics, art, podcasts, videos, and more. (This is stuff I don’t talk about or show openly.)

Entertaining and/or informative videos made only for patrons.

It began with GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE and continues with TWO other running serials.

Photos taken EXCLUSIVELY for this page. Sometimes I add my own sparkle, other times not, but they’re always interesting.

Quick little notes or did-you-knows just for you.

Usually bits of info that are hopefully insightful or useful.

For those interested in the craft of storytelling through various mediums, both the creative side and the business side.

Like the Quick Notes, these are intended to be helpful.

And there you have it. If you were a previous patron, you know I always deliver content on time without excuse. As well, if you were a part of Patreon 1.0, please get in touch.

Canister X Mailbag – Double Pair of Blue Light Glasses Unboxing – Oct182023

Canister X Mailbag – Double Pair of Blue Light Glasses Unboxing – Oct182023

I stare at screens for the majority of my day and by the end of it, my eyes hurt. Sure, it could be I need to see an optometrist, but I’m pretty sure it’s the constant light in your eyes from staring at a screen for hours on end. Further, it exacerbates the issue when you’re looking at something dark then suddenly switch to something bright and back and forth.

Here’s hoping these blue light glasses will help ease the eyestrain. Oh, there’s a mini teaser for a collectible short in this video. I accidentally made it obvious but oh well.

Thanks. Enjoy.

Oh, here’s the double pair I got at Amazon.

vLog – Thanksgiving Beer Can Video 2023

vLog – Thanksgiving Beer Can Video 2023

From my old man’s garage, October 8, Canadian Thanksgiving 2023.

Just showing off some cool beer can art that caught my eye and also a brief message about making a little bit of coin while, more importantly, helping the environment.

And, yes, you have to be over 18 to watch it. I don’t want to be a bad influence on the younglings even though the content is harmless. Alcohol, you know?

Status Report – 091223

Posted on September 12, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Status Report – 091223:

Work, work, work. That’s what’s been happening every day since I got back from vacation.

See, I’m middle-aged, which means–though still a ways off–retirement is approaching and I need to be prepared, especially in today’s economy, so I’ve been burning the candle on both ends with the day job and then with writing and publishing outside those hours. I also need to ensure a future for my kids. Not that I’m to take care of everything for them, but rather have the means to do nice things with them and their one-day families.

The latest development-in-progress is an exclusive Axiom-man site, one solely dedicated to him and his adventures across various media.

See, here at the Realm of Heroes and Monsters, the ol’ Canisterx.com, is a compilation of all my work, besides my webcomic. I want Axiom-man to have his own space and breathing room on the Web. I have for a long time. He had a site once, one dedicated to his webcomic, which was the published issues serialized on the Web. But he never really had a home and it’s time he gets one.

So I’ve been working on that as well as toying with the idea of bringing my Patreon back in a kind of Version 2.0. It’d be streamlined, simple, loaded with content, and worth the $5-a-month I plan to charge.

But one thing at a time.

Axiom-man first.

If you have not read the character, I suggest getting your feet wet with the first book. It’s the origin story and Axiom-man’s first big battle with a supervillain. It’s the story that started it all and spawned (thus far) seven additional books plus a side adventure and some short stories.

By the way, he’ll show up in the podcast soon and in other ways on the Web as well. Stuff is done but I’m releasing things slowly instead of all at once. People are busy on the Internet and to dump everything Axiom-man on them all at once would only cause them to move on. So, yeah, a little at a time.

Okay, that’s enough for today. Time to get back to work.

Peace.

vLog – Reflections at Cherry Hill 2023

Just looking out onto the lake, thinking of some things and sharing them with you.

It’s good to take time to reflect on one’s self, take inventory, improve on what needs improving, be thankful for that good thing which has been achieved.

Reflect.

Status Report – 083123

Posted on August 31, 2023 6:33 am by A.P. Fuchs

Status Report – 083123:

Man, it’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these. The last one was this entry.

Lots of web work being done these days. During my hiatus, my sites, my social networks, my books–everything got left behind and now, behind the scenes, needs some sprucing up. Most of it is metadata work and I’ve also been spending some of my time picking at a secret fun project that I hope to reveal soon. In fact, though I haven’t officially announced it, there is a link to it on this site.

Can you find it?

So, yeah, throw in the day job and I’ve been pulling 12-hour days since August 8th. Worth it though. Needs to be done for a variety of reasons.

YouTube is my big thing right now. Lots of content going up, mostly on a daily basis. Shorts and reels, long videos and podcasts. Plenty going on at the REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS on YouTube.

I hope to do more interviews this fall and into next year. I had a blast on Travis Bruce’s YouTube channel, which you can watch here. (And be sure to subscribe to both our channels. It’s Nerd City!)

On a serious note, I’ve been getting my thoughts together on doing a in-depth vLog on anxiety. It’ll be for adults only as I don’t want a kid (or even teen) stumbling across it because it will tell the hard truth about anxiety and its various treatments and I don’t want that info entering ears that might not be ready for it. In other words, I don’t want to scare a young person. But anxiety occurs at various degrees so some might not find it frightening, but others might, depending where they’re at. Even some adults might get triggered so I’m gonna try and remember to announce a little disclaimer at the beginning to avoid that.

Anyway, the vacation I took at the beginning of the month did me wonders. It was a good reset and recharge for getting back to real life. Bittersweet that it’s over; almost like a dream. I’m hoping for a break at Christmas so we’ll see what happens.

By now you’re probably sick of hotwheels videos. C’mon. It’s the batmobile. The coolest car around. Anyway, one more to air then I’m outta cars to show. Need to find one more so I can put together a third volume compilation of hotwheels shorts. Volume 2 is set to air Monday.

Regarding FREDRIKUS, I have one more strip done. I thought it was colored but when I went to look into it, I learned that the page is done and scanned but that’s as far as it is. Next step is to enhance the scan so the blank ink is nice and sharp then color it. I think that’ll be a weekend task and then I’ll air it for you.

Well, time to go. Work to be done.

Cheers.
