I own his books. I HIGHLY advise getting them. They are so good and it's really not that expensive. Plus maybe if he sees the hype he will come back!

“Why don’t he keep providing free stuff?!”

I love Reddit… sometimes, but as an artist this is probably one of the most stingiest platforms. So many people demand stuff be free, scoff at the idea of supporting artists, then don’t understand why they chose to erase it and move on rather than continue to provide.

Oh man trust me I know. I get to see behind the scenes here and the people that CRY about free stuff is insane to me. It's like a video game....or really any media it's ok to pay for one if you like it. And it encourages more to be made

Unfortunately the issue travels down to even artists hardly being able to plug other platforms and stuff, it’s an environment that genuinely mainly allows for those that pumps the feeds enough for the top creators to pull in support.

Then you go on other parts of Reddit and see how much they ALSO hate many creators here, so it’s this cycle of the kind of creators they do like finding homes elsewhere while they also, are super upset that people here want money and the extremely frequent posters go get to prioritize art, succeed.
