I have an exciting announcement: I'll be taking a trip to Japan in May, over my birthday!
I've been planning this trip for a few months now, but I was waiting until I bought the tickets to make the announcement. Visiting Japan is something I've been wanting to do for years. The stars finally aligned for me to go this year.
I'll be taking off from May 5 to May 24, so nearly the entire month of May. I expect May will be a pretty light month for Patreon, although I might upload some things from my trip, like if I do any plein air drawing while I'm there. I wanted to let folks know in case anyone wants to pause their pledge for May. On the other hand, if you want to let it ride and help support me while I'm away on vacation, I would super appreciate that too!
(One of the biggest downsides to working for yourself is that if you take any time off then you're not making money, and that can be really hard sometimes.)
I plan to spend about one week traveling the country and one week in Tokyo. I haven't yet figured out a specific itinerary for my trip though, so if anyone has any suggestions of things to do or see, let me know.
