So I took an informal poll in various places around the internet where our community gathers, to see if there’s interest in a potential physical sticker tier for the Chio Club, and the answer seems to be a tentative-but-mostly-yes!

This will take a little bit of planning on my part to put together, but overall should be pretty easy since I’ve got a lot of the necessary artwork planned out and in various states of completion.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Sticker Tier will be $10 for US folks and $12 for the international crew. The shipping is a little pricier for places outside the US, which I have no control over, sorry!
  • You’ll receive either one large sticker (approx. 3″) or two smaller stickers (approx. 1-2″) every month you’re a paid member. Stickers will be sent at the end of the month you’ve paid for, so everyone has a chance to pledge if they want to.
  • The stickers will be a heavy vinyl good for sticking on all kinds of things. I’m a fan of high-quality stickers and want to make a nice product. There might be other fancy types in the future if Sticker Tier is successful. (Maybe holographic, glow in the dark, etc.!)
• Every month will have a different theme! It’s a surprise! The themes will feature characters from our comics, mostly Chios.
• After a couple of months, I’ll open up a “secret shop” for members where you can buy past months’ stickers at a steeply discounted price.
• If nobody pledges, it just won’t happen. I need 1-2 pledges at minimum to make it work!
• Right now, I’m planning on opening up pledges for the Sticker Tier in April 2023.

…and that’s the bulk of the details. Things won’t open up until April since I need a little lead time to organize, in addition to regular comic work, but I hope this will be interesting to folks who maybe haven’t pledged to the Chio Club before!

As usual, if you’re interested, you can join the Chio Club via Patreon or Ko-Fi:
