A few years ago, I made a calender for my mom for Christmas, with a different
piece of my art for each month.
I don’t know how it happened, but somewhere along the line, other people started getting my calenders and seemed to like them well enough, which made me happy.
Last year, due to a busy schedule and an unexpected holiday trip across the country, I had decided that perhaps setting them aside for the year was a 
good plan. Then I learned that, apparently, people liked them more than I realized, when I started getting asked…wait, let me rephrase that…when friends began demanding that they get their calender for the coming year.
So, I made a list, and I checked it at least twice, but regardless of how nice everyone was in making me feel so very appreciated, for some the calenders were very late, and for others they never came at all. And for the record, I 
was one of those others — I had a calender from a strip club up until at least mid-summer.
The issue is that, where as Briggs used to work at a large multi-national copy chain which shall not be named, now he works at a much smaller franchise and is unable to take the copy liberties he once did. The sad truth is, we do actually have to pay for all the calenders we make now, and due to our poor-college-student and poor-guy-supporting-college-student status and the frankly flattering number of calenders I have had requested, we just can’t afford to send them out like we did last year…sadly, until I am a rich illustrator, I’m afraid I have to ask you awesome people for money. 
We aren’t trying to turn a profit or anything…just cover the price of production and shipping…I think it’s going to be about $15 total?..and on the bright side, this way you will definitely get the calender I promised you — the delays and non-deliveries last year were mostly due to our costs/lack of money.
If you DON’T want to pay me for a calender, or you just can’t right now, I totally understand and will NOT be at all offended, but if you do, please let me know. Briggs suggested that we could even just set up a pay-pal account and stick the link in here to make everything quick and easy. Maybe I can even get them sent out before February this year.
