Houston, we have a problem. Unexpected expenses (car, plumbing, roof, etc) over the last two months have wiped out the little I'd saved up after re-roofing the house 4 years ago. So it would really help me out if people would subscribe to my Patreon and get access to my nerdy articles. 🖖

Combined with a drop in client orders—which I’m blaming entirely on the rise of AI tools😁—this isn’t exactly the best of times. And to top it all off, I’m getting some teeth pulled next week (but at least I’m lucky enough to have good health insurance here). Get access to all my pieces on Patreon:

It bums me out that I have to ask instead of letting things grow naturally through my articles, posts and activity on this account, but the end of the month is shaping up to be tough. When you sign up for an annual subscription, you know there are about fifty nerdy articles waiting for you.

I also have a Ko-fi account, but it doesn't give access to the articles, which is a missed opportunity.

After the TIE Phantom, the Spinner design story is coming. And more making of sci-fi movies, TV shows, and games (including The Fifth Element, Alien Resurrection, Interstellar, Stargate SG-1, The Next Generation, Obi-Wan...).

The advantage of no longer being in 2022 is that every problem (except health) feels relative, even if it's annoying. 🥲

Thank you Charlie, Todd, Nico and DeWayne 🖖

Also thank you Melanie and Tujungadude ❤️ It means a lot to me.

Thanks Ryan and S456715228 😍
