<img src="https://i.imgur.com/sMrhKqn.png"> Hello! I'm an
independent artist! I create a broad spectrum of art largely inspired
by insects, other animals, and nature - everything from the
scientifically accurate to the cartoony and adorable, with lots in
between. I love designing characters and coming up with my own ideas
and designs to delight and inspire my audience. You might know me
from my Bugdana designs, my enamel pins including the Celestial Insects series, my toony bug doodles, or perhaps for my work
in furry fandom creating the &quot;Friends of Anthrocon&quot; and
working with hundreds of private clients to bring their characters to
life. Patreon gives you a chance to get on board my creative
journey at whatever level is comfortable. If you've enjoyed my work in person or online, you can get early looks at
works-in-progress and peeks at the process as I create new things,
prepare for events, and experiment with concepts and product
possibilities. Your support also increases my wiggle room to pursue
more unique projects including original illustrations and comics, and it allows me to invest in needed supplies and equipment to keep creating the best I can! <img src="http://marycapaldi.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/graphics-pitch-1.png"> Thanks to my patrons' support so far, I've already been able to upgrade my workstation and table setup for conventions and set aside time to study with scientists and fellow artists. I hope to continue pursuing more opportunities to improve, learn, and collaborate in the future, and having folks who believe in what I do along for the ride makes it even better and more worth doing! 
 
When and how will I get the rewards for my pledge tier? 
Rewards for each pledge level will be processed and sent after
pledges go through each month to ensure fairness - so a new pledge placed in June is charged and fulfilled in early July. Access to digital rewards, such as the sketch pack or coupon code for my shop, is sent via Patreon messages. Physical rewards like the postcard or Bug Club gifts are mailed to the address you specify.
