How to support Parkablogs


1. If you find my blog useful, do support me on Patreon.
Patreon is a monthly subscription service where you can pledge a certain dollar amount to support the creator you like. You can edit your pledge anytime afterwards. The money raised goes a long way to supporting my work and the blog. It's used to get stuff for review (I don't have many sponsors), hire guest artists and fund the webhosting.

2. Getting your stuff through affiliate links
I earn a small commission 4-5% for books through Amazon and Book Depository. So whenever you think of getting stuff from Amazon or Book Depository, you can click on any affiliate links on my blog before heading over. This is of no extra cost to you.

3. Share my blog or Youtube channel
This does not require you to spend any money. If you find anything interesting on my blog or Youtube channel, just share a link with your artist friends. It's that simple.

4. Enroll in one of my sketching courses on Gumroad
I have several sketching courses on Gumroad. You can pick up a skill that will last a lifetime, and at the same time support me. It's a simple and useful skill you will not forget.

All the content above, except the Craftsy reviews, are created by me. It's your support over the years that makes all these possible.

Thanks!

Comments

I really like your blog and have followed you from the early days. However, I noticed that you have moved away from art books and I therefore find a lot of your content less relevant. Is this because there are less books being published?

@Julie Burdon-stone
I'm posting a variety on content on my blog. Mostly about artbooks, crowdfunding campaigns about artbooks by self publishing artists, art products (fountain pens sometimes) and other art-related stuff that I think are interesting enough to share.

I don't post as frequently as before, like 1 artbook per day, because I'm spending a lot of time making Youtube videos. But there are a lot of artbooks to feature, more than I imagine or expect. Actually right now, I've a huge stack of books on my backlog waiting to be featured.
