I very often get asked if I donate to charities. The short answer is yes. The long answer is that I'm too broke to throw money around, but I'll happily reward contributers to causes I support with art product that I make.
​​
If you donate money to a cause that I support (or a good one that I don't know about yet), you can email me your receipt and I'll give you a matching gift card coupon code to purchase art prints in my online shop with.
