Just another 24 bucks until I reach my next goal on Patreon, which means I will post my graphic novel Cubicles up in its entirety to read for free.
If you don’t know what Cubicles is, it is a scifi/comedy. I like to think of it as Office Space meets Spaceballs. It is a crazy ride across the universe. There’s zombies, pirates, space squid. Its available for purchase on Comixology, but if we reach this goal, you can read it for free. That’s pretty cool, I think.
If you can, please support my Patreon. Just $35 more dollars and I will post my entire graphic novel “Cubicles” online to read for free. Even just a buck will go a long way. Patreon
So we got some good news and some bad news…
The good news is that Patreon reached its first goal of $50/month. Which means I get to remove ads from the website! If you look around you will notice a distinct lack of ads. I still have links to my friends webcomics, etc, but the site already looks way cleaner. I need to do some rearrange on the sidebar to clean stuff up.
More good news, I started working on a new logo and new ads for Shiver Bureau. Here is the logo and my first new ad.
I am going to be using the Patreon money for advertising and hopefully increase the readership. I think we deserve more readers, right?
And the bad news? Actually there is no bad news, I just wanted you attention. Thanks!
Great news, we hit the first goal on Patreon! Which means at the start of the month I will be removing ads from the SB website. Hooray!
It also means we just need 40 more dollars for me to post my entire graphic novel, Cubicles, online to read for free. That’s right, this epic space adventure comedy will be posted all at once for your reading pleasure.
I shifted around my rewards as well and now you can get your hands on some original art for cheap. I’ve been doing these daily sketches and I have no idea what to do with them. So I figured I’d give them away on Patreon for just $10 bucks or request your own sketch for $15. Sounds like a deal to me. Here are some samples which you can follow on Facebook or Tumblr
A few links of interest if you want to follow me outside of Shiver Bureau
ART STAB: A podcast I do as an excuse to talk about art, creating comics and what a pain it can be. There is bad language, so it isn’t safe for the lil’uns.
TUMBLR: Daily-ish drawings of randomness. Ask me questions.
FACEBOOK: Same daily-ish drawings, other interesting things and cool projects I’ve found
YOUTUBE: Videos of me doing stuff, mostly drawing…working out the kinks. Will do live streams eventually.
and of course PATREON where I dance for monies.
Did you guys hear about Spider-Man, Sony and Marvel? Marvel has the movie rights back for Spidey…sorta. This means that Spidey can be on the same screen as The Hulk…that is too awesome!
They did push back the release of the new THOR movie, so that kind of sucks. On the bright side though it means we get a Marvel Spider-Man movie in 2017.
Wonder when the first appearance of a Marvel Spidey will happen..end credits of the new Avengers movie? Is that too soon? They could do it with CG, but I think it will have to wait. All I want to see is Hulk raging, trying to smack at Spider-Man, as Spidey dodges every hit with fast moves and even faster quips.
And now it’s time for the weekly Patreon announcement…PATREON
Just 11 bucks needed to get rid of ads. That’s just eleven people donating a buck or one person who would love to win an original piece of SB art mailed to them for just $20 bucks. That’s right, there is a monthly raffle every month to Patreon supporters who give $20 bucks. There is no support at that tier yet, so if you are the only person supporting me at the start of the month, then it is an instant win. Obviously I would love more then one supporter at that level, but that isn’t your problem, so why not get some SB original art on the cheap?
Why do I keep pestering you guys for money? The main reason I want the money is to help spread the word about Shiver Bureau. Currently, I am going to guess I have around 500 dedicated readers. I think S.B. should have a larger readership and Patreon would give me the finances I need to get S.B. out there.
If you can’t support, then just tell one friend about S.B. … or all your friends. Thank you in advance.
I took everything I had not to have Trish say “Who you gonna call?”
Just as an aside, I’ve been posting near daily drawings over at my Facebook page. These range from the random to comics to movies. If that sounds interesting, head on over FACEBOOK
As always, if you can support via Patreon it will really help my with the creation and promotion of Shiver Bureau. PATREON
On a side note, a friend and I started an art podcast. We talk about various art and comic struggles. It’s not really a ‘how to’ podcast, more of a WTF podcast. Or something, who knows, it’s young, so it’s still growing. Come listen to our growing pains. Art Stab

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me…la la la la la
Obiligatory ‘I have a Patreon page’ page.
I just wanted to say thank you to every who has stuck with Shiver Bureau and continues to read the misadventures of Pickle, Trish and gang. All your kinds comments have been the best support I could ask for…well, besides your monetary support 🙂
But really, if you can help, that would be great. I’d love to get rid of the ads, post my first graphic novel Cubicles online, and also start posting Shiver Bureau twice a week (perhaps even thrice a week?). With your help, we can make it happen.
Don’t worry if you can’t support via Patreon. Shiver Bureau will be around for a long time yet and available to read for free. Even better then Patreon is sharing Shiver Bureau with a friend.
I just recently realized I’ve been so busy drawing Shiver Bureau that I haven’t tried to push it out to wider audience. I could really use your help with that. If you tell two friends and they tell two friends….well, if you’ve see Wayne World, you know what happens.
If you can help, check out the Patreon page for rewards and goals I am hoping to reach. If you have any questions, reward requests or anything, please feel free to reach out. I don’t bite, I promise.
If you want to see me doing some penciling of this very page check out my YouTube page….
Thanks again for everything. VIA LA SHIVER BUREAU!
