Why donate?
Art materials are expensive. And for someone who quickly empties markers and fills sketchbooks, I have a pretty good idea of that.
Websites are also expensive. Hosting this website is not cheap. While I handle everything design wise myself, my custom domain and hosting is definitely eating the little wallet- so to speak.
Capital to get art printed and ready to sell is, you guessed it, also expensive. T-Shirts, buttons, paper for prints, sticker paper, and expanding to new items as well is not as easy task. Trying to get a price that allows for fair profit means ordering larger quantities. As that implies, stuff gets pricey real quick.

While I can handle myself without donations, having some extra cash would allow me to expand my horizons in art supplies, keep my site up, and expand my shop with new cool and exciting items.
