<strong>PATRONAGE, OLD-SCHOOL</strong><br>
<br>
If we actually achieve Renaissance or Baroque-style patronage of the arts here I may have to make myself a Baroque gown or do a self-portrait in the style of my ghost goddess Artemisia Gentileschi!
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Artemesia won't mind if I get started right away, will she?!?</strong>

<strong><br>
DO THE THING
</strong><br>
<br>
Yes, I do the thing. As Design Editor for
<em>Locus</em> magazine, a well-known science fiction and fantasy trade journal, I've created art for over 90 <em>Locus</em> covers, as well as the cover design and typography, and countless interior illustrations and ads! <br>
<br>
That's 90, yes. And it's a monthly, so you can imagine the type of schedule involved!
<br>
<br>
My target for
<em>Locus</em> has been to keep the magazine fresh-looking. I try to always explore a different look and challenge myself with new media each month. I've also art-directed, with editor-in-chief Liza Groen Trombi, a number of covers by our off-site freelancer (the wonderful Stephen H. Segal), and have spearheaded several art-focused issues of <em>Locus</em> with Liza. To my great glee, I have selected up-and-coming artists to spotlight in the magazine and in various other venues. <br>

I've exhibited and sold art at Worldcon and World Fantasy and hope to do so again once we get back into in-person conventions.
<br>
<br>
Recent career milestones: I had an amazing opportunity to have two pieces of art in the "Worlds Beyond Here: The Expanding Universe of APA Science Fiction" exhibit at the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience in Seattle. My pieces in the show were "Silkpunk", illustrating Ken Liu's May 2015
<em>Locus</em> interview, and "Axioms & Theorems" illustrating Yoon Ha Lee's September 2014 <em>Locus</em> interview. <br>
<br>
(Thanks so much Ken Liu for recommending the work!) I was also listed in the "Special Thanks" portion of the exhibit for providing a giant list of great APA artists to the curators, which is honestly almost more meaningful to me than having my own art there. I take every opportunity I can get to promote the work of great artists in the field.
<br>

<em>Locus</em> cover art to the WisCon Tiptree (now Otherwise) auction to raise funds for the Motherboard (thanks Kat Tanaka Okopnik for the idea!) <br>

</div>
<br>
I have a lifelong love of science fiction and fantasy literature, and working as a designer, artist, and editor for
<em>Locus</em> and the Locus Science Fiction Foundation is a dream job which has enabled me to travel the world and meet many of my heroes. I've worked in publishing for over fifteen years now, thirteen of them with <em>Locus</em>. I'm 100% sure I'm in the right place, doing the right thing, contributing to the right community, and I want to continue doing that.
<br>

<strong>
PORTRAITURE
</strong><br>
<br>
Talk about the Le Guin cover reminds me I need to address what I'm most excited about currently: portraiture. They say, when you're searching your heart to discover your subjects, you ought to go back to the days when you doodled as a kid and try to remember what your subjects were. That's not hard, my subjects were people. Specifically, faces (and mostly women's faces, for whatever reason). Oh, and mermaids. Yep, gotta draw mermaids.
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://francesca.net/patreon/clown from spacesm.jpg"><br>
H'm, actually, then there was this, doodled on the back of Marin County Library periodical request slips back in the days when my mom was a substitute librarian, so that just goes to show you, never listen to what "they" say.
<br>
</div>
<br>
But seriously, faces have always fascinated me. Grand Master Ursula K. Le Guin, 88, died January 22, 2018. For her portrait for the memorial issue of
<em>Locus</em>, I worked from a number of references, about 7-10 photos, some depicting skin textures, others the form of her head. There wasn't one particular photo I wanted to work from. Instead, I triangulated what I could of her features from references spanning many years of her remarkable life. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://francesca.net/patreon/ursulalines.jpg"><br>
The memorial portrait in progress, from gestural drawing to final.
</div>
<br>
When you look intently at so many photos of a person over so many years, you start to actually see a bit of their character. The more I looked at her face, the more I realized we were dealing with an imp. There is this mischievousness and irrepressible spirit in even her most solemn portraits. The portrait gave me a chance to contemplate and reflect on her life and influence, and to gently ease myself into the idea of a world without this incredibly powerful figure in it — and an unusual opportunity to try to help others undergo the same process.
<br>
<br>
A note on technique — at first I thought I'd use the tried-and-true Michelangelo method of graphing the face into quadrants (and rediscovered one of my mother's old drawing tools, a simple 8.5x11 transparency with an inch grid on it), but like I said no one reference was working for me, so the technique proved to be much less useful than it ordinarily is!
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://francesca.net/patreon/progress-on-ursulasm.jpg"><br>
Evolution of the workspace
<br>
<br>
</div>
Because I spend so much time on portraits, I'm not gonna wanna stare for a full month at photos of certain media personalities. I'd much rather do a portrait of someone who isn't well-known, but has an interesting face! For the Fantasmagoriac level, you'll receive the original pencil or paint and, if there is a digital background component, a print of the digital final as well, suitable for framing. I will retain the rights to the image, unless we discuss it beforehand. Consent must be obtained from any living public figures you want me to draw. (If it's a portrait of a family member or surprise for a friend you know well, no need. And if it's a media star we can agree on, no need. But for people in the industry, like authors, editors, and so on, I'd like for them to know what we're doing. When people have a Locus interview, they know their image will be public, I just wanna make sure we have the same level of consent from anyone who might not otherwise expect an intimate portrait!)
<br>
<strong><br>
SELF-PORTRAITS
<br>
<br>
</strong>Self-portraits are fun too! And so is modeling, which I occasionally do for artful friends. If you follow the Patreon, you'll hear more about that. I design all my own clothing and
either make it myself or have it made from fabric I source in LA.
<br>

I also do Instaprismasnaps! These are silly self-portraits with
Snapchat lenses. Snapchat lenses are cool, but usually look pretty plastic. My goal is to make them into actual mini-art-pieces using another app, Prisma. I post 'em
on Instagram as @phrannest. They are fun and ridiculous, and you'll see
more of them.

<strong>
<br>
GOALS
</strong><br>
<br>
My primary goal with this Patreon is to get out of financial panic mode and into calm, connected, creative mode. I'd also like to explore the accountability structure of Patreon. Let's see if I can build in deadlines and responsibilities for personal projects as well as professional ones!
<br>
<br>
In particular, working on that Le Guin portrait
reminded me how much I miss practical artwork. I like getting my hands
dirty! I'd like to reawaken life sketching skills, play with Photoshop
brushes till I can replicate the feel of working with oils and acrylics,
and otherwise expand my skillset and body of work.
<br>
<br>

<em>Locus</em>. I really enjoy making spaceships.

<br>
</div>
<br>
<strong>WHY CROWDFUNDING/ LET'S TALK ABOUT MONEY!</strong><br>
<br>
I work for a nonprofit magazine! They pay me as well as they can, but even so my salary falls into a category well beneath the (admittedly inflated) Bay Area poverty line. It's pretty ridiculous — the best-practice recommendation is to spend about 30% of your gross monthly income on housing. At this point housing costs eat an average of 90% of my take-home. Forget about dental work or auto maintenance! Many of my side projects, stopgaps, and cushions have fallen prey to Covid-19 shortages, and I'm facing a heartbreaking crossroads, as are many people enduring the Covid-19 crisis. I'm looking at the very strong possibility of needing to either change jobs or sell my beloved home during one of the worst possible housing markets and under the worst conditions.
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://francesca.net/patreon/Cruikshank.jpg"><br>
Why does this feel so Dickensian!?!
<br>
Here, have a George Cruikshank illustration of Seven Dials circa 1835.
<br>
(No, it's not one of my illustrations, obviously.)
</div>
<br>
Further, only moving out of the area completely would really save me, as local rental expenses are comparable to my current expenditures. The median Oakland rental rate is $2,930 and the median apartment size is 792 square feet, which is higher than what I pay and for a smaller space (and to own!) IT'S CRAZY! The area has already lost so many artists because of calculations like these. I grew up here, and it's home. So much of my found family is here, my lifesaving medical care team is here. It would be a tragedy to be forced to move, particularly at a time like this. At the best of times, and in the best of circumstances and health, moving is a huge deal. For me, with my health, it would be devastating. That's just a fact. If I lose the house I will also lose my only meaningful retirement planning.
<br>
<br>
But, if I wish to remain in the Bay, I have to almost double my current income.
<br>
<br>
So, why not stop working for
<em>Locus</em>, and instead hunt down a job in tech or even office support, as concerned friends have been advising I should do for years? Well, I believe in what I do, and I believe that the community I do it for is important. I don't want to obliterate all my hopes for myself and this rewarding career without exploring other options. Patreon is one such option! I refuse to give up without a fight!
<br>
<br>
I'm trying to see this financial crunch as an opportunity to prioritize art and community in my life and to refocus my art and writing goals. It's an extraordinary thing to have a job that allows me to do art, event planning, and general rabble-rousing, and get PAID for doing it! Now I'd like to do more art outside of traditional deadline constraints.
<br>
<br>
Patreon: mutual inspiration, community support. What's not to love? It has to be possible.
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://francesca.net/portfolio/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Francesca-Myman-Voyage-h1000.jpg"><br>
This is a big fish. Like, a really big fish.
<br>
But sometimes, fish can be as big as you think they can be.
<br>
</div>
<br>
I know those who've played it both ways, doing high-labor, low-love jobs with great take-home, and passion projects for low pay. Those friends continue to envy me for this passion project I'm on, even knowing what it costs. Meaningful work, isn't that the dream? That said, I'd love not to have to look at price ranges when buying toothpaste. That ain't right either! I've set the ultimate goal at $3,000 per month, which is high but doable, as long as I treat this as a second job. At this level of support, I'd be able to afford to live in the Bay Area, sustain ongoing medical challenges, afford things like a good monthly gym membership and car maintenance, and even set aside a small bit for the future! Even reaching one or two thousand would make a huge difference in combination with additional freelance work.
<br>
<strong><br>
WHAT WOULD I DO, BEYOND WHAT I'VE ALREADY EXPRESSED, IF I ACHIEVED THIS GOAL WITH YOUR HELP?
</strong><br>
<br>
I HAVE NO IDEA!
<br>
<br>
I can't even conceive of this level of financial freedom, so it's hard for me to speculate about how this would open up my creative life. It's a journey that Patreon supporters would take beside me, discovering what my full capabilities are. I think I'm up for a lot of shenanigans. There are goals and projects so secret I won't even talk much about them here yet: non-fiction writings, essays, publications, even (*whispers dirtily*) novels, that I'd like to embark upon.
<br>
<br>
<strong>MORE ABOUT ME<br>
</strong><br>
So, who is Francesca Myman? What else do you need to know? Think SF/F art and non-fiction, cephalopods, and social justice. The academic stuff: I'm a graduate of Clarion West Writing Workshop and Yale University, and hold two graduate degrees in English and creative writing, interdisciplinary with classes in art, design, film, and criticism (from California College of the Arts and Hollins University, which happens to be one of the most beautiful places in the world, it's basically Hobbiton with cicadas and fireflies). I thought for a while there I'd be a professor, I love teaching that much, but I ended up in a field perfectly suited to all my loves and talents: writing, art, community-building — namely publishing! From convention news coverage around the world to art & design on the fly, it's been a crazy ride!
<br>

<br>

</div>
If you don't know about
<em>Locus</em>, it's the magazine of record for the science fiction, fantasy, and horror field, founded by Charles N. Brown, and is famous
for its book reviews and news coverage going all the way back to 1968.
The magazine has won 30 Hugos over the years, and once I was even on
hand to accept an Alfie from George R.R. Martin with Liza Groen Trombi and all the
other Locusites present, for
<em>Locus</em> (which was awesome, honestly a career highlight I'll never forget).<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">

A favorite selfie with Liza right after
<em>Locus</em> won the Alfie.
<br>
</div>
<br>
<em>Locus</em> has a rich visual history, from the delicious early mimeographed versions with their oft-raunchy spot art to the red-trimmed classics (emulating the authority of <em>Time</em> magazine of course!) It has been a privilege to helm a substantial redesign. I've completely changed the look of the magazine, with the support of my art-director-editor-in-chief-friend Liza Groen Trombi. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://francesca.net/patreon/596cover300.jpg"><br>
My first-ever
<em>Locus</em> cover, September 2010, a steampunk feature, did not have the red border, but did keep the border dimensions intact! That texture in the background was scanned from my grandmother's beat-up old brass makeup compact! And I've known Gail since high school, so it was particularly fun to do a cover with her on it!<br>
</div>
<br>
I've taken a leading role in curating the art books section of the Locus Recommended Reading List for at least seven or eight years alongside editor-in-chief Liza Groen Trombi, art books reviewer Karen Haber, and Arnie Fenner, founder of Spectrum and Spectrum Live.

If you support the Patreon, you'll hear more about my work in publishing, and more about designing clothing, and a whole lot more about cats and octopuses.
<br>
<br>
<strong>ADDITIONAL PHRANISHMENTS </strong><br>
<br>
Outside of Patreon, I offer developmental editing services. I was one of the famous original beta readers for some of Gail Carriger's early bestsellers, before she became so prolific that I couldn't keep up with her! Plus of course I have many years of experience workshopping and critiquing fiction from Clarion West onward, and editing/writing news work for
<em>Locus</em>, though as the only on-staff designer I do less writing for them now and more arty things! I also offer book cover design (my favorite thing), spot illustration, photo retouching (wedding photos!), and other freelance work.
If there's something on that list that you need, check in with me about rates. I've already worked out something with someone who wasn't as interested in the exact Patreon rewards for the higher levels but had something else in mind: a combination developmental editor/graphic design inspiration provider/writing coach. Works for me!
<br>

"The Obelisk", cover art for N.K. Jemisin's October 2018 Locus interview. For this one, I will ever be infamous amongst friends for texting them, "OK, so who wants to get naked for me and pretend to be in a giant crystal?" It says something about my friends how many were willing without any additional explanation. Of course, there's clothes on the final figure, but those were Photoshopped for a certain look!
<br>
</div>
<br>
You can see examples of my art at
<a href="http://francesca.net/portfolio">francesca.net/portfolio</a>, in progress.<br>
<br>
<strong>I OWE YOU TRANSPARENCY</strong><br>
<br>
Regarding goals, friends tell me I need to set realistic goals since I'm working hard, and have substantial health challenges that arise from time to time. I vow to transparency — if I am having a demanding month and need to prioritize the day job, you will know about it, and you will get to see some of the behind-the-scenes thoughts related to my artwork and challenges, and I believe that will have value too. I don't anticipate troubles with delivering on Patreon promises, but if issues arise they will be communicated about.
<br>
<br>
<strong>IN CONCLUSION</strong><br>
<br>
In brief — I'd like this to be both an experimental crucible and a
safe-ish place where I can explore my work and life, while hewing to my
core values of community, kindness, and enthusiasm. I hope that we will all be inspired!

正在創作photos and writing/journalism 小小的器材控，近年學習放下器材，走進行頭小巷拍攝生活日常的小事小景 <br>閒聊使用過的相機鏡頭、後期處理、攝影觀念等<br>討論有關於千代田光學、美能達 相機、鏡頭 。<br>街頭攝影技巧、器材、心態等等<br><br>如喜歡和支持我的文章/器材用後感、照片，一杯咖啡讓文章繼續～<br>無盡感激。<br><br>剛剛加入 Patreon , 感謝所有對 筆者 寫作 / 拍攝計劃支持的朋友!!!<br><br><section><h3>五月版務感言~~ 本站Medium 觀看數字、收入大公開XD…</h3><p>一。開始了英文版本Rokkorx Blog 專頁</p><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1760/1*BwIjoe02EClqUQNL2WIUUQ.jpeg"><figcaption><a href="https://medium.com/rokkorxblog">Rokkorxblog (medium.com)</a></figcaption></figure>把中文的內容轉作英文版本，雖然可以透過翻譯軟件、文法軟件輕髹修改英文版本，但內容上也要顧及外國朋友的興趣、關注點有所修改…所花的時間可能已經等同別人重新再寫一篇短文XD… 完成後也花多了一點時間與國外的朋友交流等等…<br>Rokkorx Blog 內的英文版本文章已更新至26篇左右…未來的時間會盡量嘗試同步中英文版本同時上線，想起都覺得自找麻煩XD…<br><div><br>比中文版本的文章好的地方是，可以在Medium 英文Photography 專頁內貼堂…<br><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2600/1*p5o3fl4Q3y3zHupSMnjHMw.jpeg"></figure><br><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1760/1*PvE48sJkBHYse4syIrbPtQ.jpeg"></figure><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1320/1*-qD6NT7FCwozjWf_-UwZ6g.jpeg"><figcaption>貼堂後，觀看人數確實會較好…但還是要看看題材…</figcaption></figure><br>分享了一個月左右的…再重新出發，可能又要重新找到對的群組、對的人…<br>筆者發覺其實我英文版本的文字可能已經較一般的Medium 英文文章還要長得多，基本上其他貼堂的文章很多也是2–3分鐘就完結，幾張圖片…但筆者還是10mins 左右的文字、海量的圖片…不過，外國地區比較著重100% CROP 圖比較、對數據非常的在意…當然我也可以學習怎樣寫標題文XD…<br><br>最新的更新可以留言FB專頁…<br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Rokkorxs-Blog-104407125169393/"><br>Rokkorx BLOG FB Page<br></a></div></section><section><div><p>二。寫了Medium 應該也有兩年多的時間…上年認真堅持地每星期一篇鏡頭介紹、相機介紹、後期軟件分享介紹等…從數據來看，可以看到筆者應該寫什麼才會更多人看或留意…基本上鏡頭、器材文是最多人觀看的…後期處理的文章，觀看率可以算是低得有點可憐…可以做的，就是在寫鏡頭器材文時加多一點後期的技巧、思路的分享…印象志蓮淨院，可能加上by 周八枚又會多一百多view…</p><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1760/1*BN9yRIlIQSJVCrnamICQ4w.jpeg"><figcaption>筆者的Medium 每月大約有20000萬人次觀看…可能已經算是非常不錯…</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1760/1*X3Fx4J70zDRq0oqRKhankA.jpeg"></figure><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1320/1*IDtwOV_SE1htjtMOkP2kKA.jpeg"><figcaption>今年2021 , 至五月23 星期…<br>一共寫了23 篇中文鏡頭、相機評論、21 篇英文版本XD…<br>重算追得上一星期一篇文章進度XD</figcaption></figure><br><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2600/1*DNgjv_atI7Ohqv_W1bxf1Q.jpeg"><figcaption>有幾點都很有趣…<br>用兩小時不足拍攝時間、寫 “ 初試Sony 35mm F1.4 GM..” 4.5K<br>用兩個星期甚至更長時間準備拍攝的 “ Contax Vario-Sonnar T*35–70” 約1k…<br>RNI 模擬 Kodak Aerochrome 只有不足300 View<br>年初一 深水步地攤，可能下次加回by M10D, X100V View 數又會多幾百XD…<br>其實筆者只是專心說寫GR3, X100v, Sony 器材應該就已經可以得出不錯的view 數XD….</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2600/1*-A6QqP_LWsMxPGVntcOR9w.jpeg"><figcaption>四月的Medium 總收入為USD 43.87, 但當中有13.16 是usa taxes …實收30.71 USD , 約234 HKD<br>簡單的計法就是43.87 x 5 算就是當月簡單的收入…</figcaption></figure><br><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1320/1*tqjlBCQEPyL5CrZkcNLV8Q.jpeg"></figure><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1760/1*WwcZhwrQ5rNS9PRDQjWYDw.jpeg"><figcaption>通常文章的收入多半是靠依首兩三天的觀看人數…</figcaption></figure><br><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2600/1*99XaJPeWhaKHx-QZISWWAQ.jpeg"></figure><br>Medium 的收入其實真的很少很少…在華文地區，廣東話地區，你要靠文字搵食的話，我寫一篇1000–2000views 的文章也不夠我食一頓豐富的麥當奴午餐XD…繼續再寫下去，可能最大的原因是為了疫情下找出路…繼續當一個簡單的器材控，拍拍照、寫寫文，讓自己再有動力外出拍照多一點…器材上真的沒有再追求什麼了…你不會見筆者經常拿著M10D/A7R3 + M50APO, NOCT F1 外出拍照，所謂的最好，其實真的要看當下拍攝的題材、拍攝的天氣、心情而定…寫文章可能只是想表達一些自己對攝影的看法，借寫器材為名寫寫筆者現今對攝影的不同看法…<br><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2600/1*qoNse-kEtZidXEYU3ZgQgg.jpeg"><figcaption>以筆者今個星期動筆的Sony 50mm F1.2 GM 為例<br>筆者前後前動了八次去拍攝、有晚上低光、有大放晴天、有陰天雨天、有公園放羊時…約8–10小時的拍攝時間、31.1GB RAW、1.5小時後期處理，再加3–4 小時寫文章…換來可能是4–5USD , 約25 HKD 的收入XD 收入與付出絕對不成正比<br>筆者甚至覺得還要多等一個星期(18–23/5) 讓筆者清空一些想法，讓更實在的想法留在腦海中…</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2600/1*CsavdnRKg6EITLky-wIxsg.jpeg"><figcaption>筆者今年處理照片的workflow 先在C1 pro 21 上選取合適的照片，再把它們導入Best RAW 2021<br>其後再在LR 上導入Best RAW 2021 照片，而50GM 最後的照片大約會是173 中再選取約50 張照片再加以說明…<br>確確實實是非常花費時間、心力…</figcaption></figure><br>今年也開始寫了一些吃力不討好，非常需要花時間去理解的題目<br><a

的朋友們，確實有你們的支持，我才能每星期堅持去寫一點器材鏡頭文…如果我只是簡單寫一點用後感，我相信我每星期寫兩三篇也不是什麼問題，問題只是自己寫的時間有一點堅持，起馬要有一定的數量的實拍照或拍的照片數量足夠我去說明當中鏡頭、機身的特點才寫得下去，讓照片說話比我自己說什麼也更好，只是這些是需要時間的…<br>今年為寫文章，學習了多樣的嘗試…</p><figure><div><div><iframe
