Poorly Drawn Perk for Paid Subscribers
You want me to draw you? I draw you so bad, you gonna wish I didn't draw you.
Last year I participated in a fundraiser for my local animal shelter called “Poorly Drawn Pets”: pet owners pay and send pics of their pets, volunteers like me draw them, and the money goes to the shelter.
My perk for paid subscribers is inspired by this fundraiser, but this time I’m raising funds for some needs right here at home.
In the coming year, I’ll be taking my fam of four to THREE family reunions. Each of these is a unique once-in-a-lifetime event for everyone involved. Two are in the United States and one is abroad. The total damage for all three trips will be about $20,000 — so mama needs to make some extra money.
This could be YOUR opportunity to possess a bizarre portraiture of yourself that’s NOT in any way “AI”-generated. That’s right, I’m 100% organic human, and I draw pictures with my ten wily meat-logs guided by my squishily-evolved sight-balls. Authentic!
And while I am absolutely committed to keeping my writing free, I have no such feelings about my drawings. You want me to draw you? Or your pet or child or mom or car or even, like, your lunch? Yay! Pay me!
Sign up for a yearly subscription ($50) to Human in the Post-Human World, this meat-log typed merry-go-round of humanist insights and AI-fiction, and send me your picture: I’ll interpret you in my own special way, and send you the image file.
Become a founding member ($100) and you can send me a physical address along with your photo: I’ll send you a physical watercolor painting of you. Heck, make it $500 and I’ll even get it professionally framed for you, postage included.
If that sounds like a lot, go for the $50 option: in any case, you’ll be supporting the loving embrace of long-parted family members, what’s sweeter than that? :)
If you’re already a paying subscriber, just send the pic! I’ll draw you first!
A quick PS on obscene or gruesome imagery… In running this idea past my husband, he immediately noted that this is the internet, and therefore, some douche-nozzle will undoubtedly want to send me something gross to draw.
All I can say is that if you want me to draw or paint something appalling, you’ll have to pay more. How much more? Inquire in advance, but let me warn you right now, it’ll be a LOT more. Theoretically, dick pics would be in the thousands, and violence and/or gore would raise us into the tens of thousands. So let’s not go there. Just send me your face. I’d love to draw / paint the publically presentable part of you.
Offer stands as long as this post is up!
