MAJOR NEWS - and updates July 2021

- Wow, first news in a year?
I have had so much to deal with, mostly health and work related. Sorry I haven't posted a full update letter in so long.

- Health is stable...ish
Most of you know, he skin condition I have had for 13+ years came to a horrible climax around the start of 2020, and absolutely destroyed my life until just a couple of months ago. What was night sweats, oozing, bleeding, flaking, extremely itchy and horrifically painful skin is all healed ( all but one large lesion on my chest ) have returned to relatively normal. The TSW effects as I just mentioned have cleared, the hives have gone away, and I only have trouble when I eat potential allergens after I eat wheat, dairy, or sweets. Still sucks, but I can at least function mostly like a normal person.

-  Dangerously low on pledges again!
Times are hard on many of us, including us losing 20 pledges in the last month (ouch)! We did not make rent on Patreon this July. We did have enough left from pandemic relief funds to fill the gap on that, but as of June, our Governor cut our relief benefits 3 months early... That's 12 weeks of assistance we were getting, just stolen from us. I presume from many of you too, because that was the same month we lost so many pledges.

- FursuitFantasies.com
My wife and I launched FursuitFantasies.com to host our adult videos. It is a completely separate business from either of our Patreon accounts, since the output material is not at all connected to our artwork here, and there is no option for adult films on Patreon. If you want to check out the content we make there, visit FursuitFantasies.com (it takes you to our Twitter, and from there you can see previews of our work, and choose to support our AVN Stars account to access our monthly videos and other posts).

- Lina's Comic Series Lina has a Lina Bunny comic series fleshed out quite a bit. The comic is adult and features sexy scenarios within a fantasy-adventure story. She has taken over as the lead artist for several pages now. It looks great so far. You can check her work out here: https://www.patreon.com/m/outofthehat

- Flash Animation
First, YES, I will continue to animate in Flash and make Flash games until it becomes impossible to play them. You can download a Flash Projector app from Adobe here:
https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html
This will let you open and play my .swf games and animations, and any others that don't require a browser.

Second, I have not abandoned FNAB, FNAB2, or my other projects. Animation demands more physical and mental effort than my other art, and now that I am mostly recovered, I look forward to continue animating again very soon. 

Thank you! Because you keep the lights on and food on the table every month.

- Special Thanks to Paul, Mike, Darwen, and Melody for your Platinum and higher pledges. You guys are currently about 35% of the support we have for the month. Thanks to you and all my patrons for your love and support. ♥️

-We Need Your Help Every Month - Because we count on your support to survive. My Patreon work pays the rent and (on a good month) for some of our groceries. Your pledges allow me to do the art I love and share it with you and the others who enjoy it. Both my wife and I do Patreon and FA related work for a living, so it's 100% up to our commissions and posts to keep us going. Your pledges put food on the table.
