Ben Templesmith's SQUID ARMY

<div style="text-align: center;">THE SQUID ARMY is a Patreon that actually makes things.<img src="https://i.ibb.co/CnzYqgX/title.jpg"> I'm making comics, some for the world and some just for you! I've been creating comics professionally for 2 years. Because of Patreon, I've already been able to bring projects like MR WORMWOOD GOES TO WASHINGTON, ORIGINAL HATE, and BLACKHOLERS into the world. And now I'm doing a new book, as chosen by my patrons, SQUID SPIT, MODIR, DARK SKULLS, and finishing off an entire art book called LITTLE DEVILS With your support, I can create original stories. In return, you'll see the whole process, every step of the way, get exclusives and even limited edition physical books, prints, stickers original art, and anything else I can think of.  <img src="https://i.ibb.co/2hJt7D6/title2.jpg"> The older I get and the more comics I do, I realize how much I love that personal connection between doing art and making folks happy. In part, that's exactly why I do it. Large distribution systems mean sales are just figures on paper but I love getting to know the names of folks directly helping to pay my rent, survive and create. Patreon seems to be a brilliant way I can do all the things I want and give you a much more personalized experience at the same time. <a href="https://i.ibb.co/p0rxYSd/working.jpg"></a><img src="https://i.ibb.co/CPcBKHM/product03.jpg"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/8XNSkZX/product01.jpg"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/0Xnnvty/product02.jpg"> Check out the rewards above/below and see what you think. They will change over time depending on the projects I'm doing &amp; feedback from Squid Army members.</div>

Free

I don't just draw pages of my new comic, I'm always doing other things &amp; I'll put them up here first, &amp; sometimes exclusively just for you. Behind the scenes and process work of what I'm up to.

THE PRIVATE

Every page of every project I can show, as they come, with full process shots &amp; scans. 
 
( And yes, access to the exclusive patreon only online store )

PRIVATE FIRST CLASS

Besides seeing every project page as they come... 
 
Get a collected PDF of each issue as I collect them. 
 
Get access to the special patreon exclusive store for physical things I make here for the higher tiers once they're fulfilled.

THE CORPORAL

For now this is just a holding tier since it's just not feasible to send a print a month due to costs of packaging, time &amp; yes, the shipping. ( $25 just to ship one internationally unfortunately now. I'll try &amp; add something high res for you guys or something if I can! But I'm trying to either change or elimite the level but can't when anyone is signed onto it sadly!

THE SERGEANT

Everything in the previous levels ( Except the special monthly print tier ) plus... 
 
Get a physical limited edition copy of the issues as I make them, in a wax-sealed pack with a few extra goodies. ( Around one issue per quarter, not retroactive to previous issues I've made though ) SPECIAL NOTE TO UK folks. I can sadly only mail the comic itself to you guys, as the new VAT rules the UK government has decided on mean anything I send you has to be taxed. Books however are still tax-free. Sorry!

THE MASTER SERGEANT

Everything at the $28 level and below ( excluding the special monthly print tier ) plus...
 
A random piece of art/comic page from my vaults each month mailed to you. Usually collected and all mailed when the physical comics go out. Special note for UK folks: I can still mail you art, but due to the value, you may have to deal with VAT on your end in order to receive it sadly. Sorry!

THE MAJOR GENERAL

Everything at the $28 level plus...
 
For a limited time, I can put YOU in the comic as a minor character! Is project dependent, and you'll get the page you appear in physically as well. Special note for UK folks: I can still send you art, but due to it's customs value you'll probably have to deal with VAT on your end once it arrives.

THE BRIGADIER GENERAL

Everything at the $28 level &amp; below ( Except the monthly print tier ) plus...
 
A page of original art from whatever the ongoing project I'm doing is, mailed to you each month as I produce them or often collected and sent in your physical comic wax sealed pack when they go out.  Special note for UK folks: I can still ship you the art but due to customs and value you may have to deal with VAT on your end to receive it sadly. Sorry!
