Who Am I?
Hi, it's Naean Howlett-Foster here! I hope that you are doing well; thank you for checking me and my website out!
I'm an Autistic, self-employed, home-based artist with an affinity for finely detailed pen drawings, however I like working with other mediums too.
Additionally, I'm rather fond of photography.
To put a long story short, I am pursuing the endeavour of working at home, due to
past experiences in traditional jobs consistently not turning out well.
I would be extremely grateful, of any and all financial support given, to help me along my creative path to making a living through one of my biggest passions: art!

For those wondering: My forename, Naean, is pronounced as
"nayun".
Think of the name Nathan, except replace the "th" sound with a "y" sound, but without too much emphasis on the "y" sound.

Why Am I Looking For Financial Support?
My aim is to make a self-employed living via pursuing my creative
passions. In order to comfortably sustain this job, I could do with a little bit of financial help from others. Any and all financial support (Big and small.) means the world to me, and makes a real difference to my life.
If you choose to financially support me, please know that I am extremely grateful, and that you have made a positively impactful decision that assists me massively in maintaining a job that I love doing.
Financial acts of generosity towards me are something that I don't take lightly. If someone decided to be so generous as to take their own money, and then give it to me, that's a big deal! What was some of their money, would now be some of my money, and that's something which I respect deeply.
Ultimately, I cannot express in words just how helpful any and all financial contributions truly are, as well as the sheer joy it brings me to continue doing what I love, with the really kind monetary gifts of complete strangers backing me up along the way!

How Does Financial Support Specifically Help Me?
I believe that it is only right to be clear and transparent with people about what their money will be going towards.
People have a solid right to know where their valuable money is going, and it is very important that I respect this.
Below is a list of areas in my life that donations and
merchandise sales will positively contribute towards.*

Additionally, money will go towards technology related things, such as those occasions of upgrading to better equipment, or replacing outdated/defunct equipment. Some scenarios could be, for example, replacing a slow computer with a faster one, buying more drives for file space, or getting a new scanner if an older one stops working.
Furthermore, money will go towards me buying cards and gifts for friends/family members for birthdays and Christmas. I may also use it to support fellow online content creators.
*There may be other expenses that money will be used for which are not specifically listed above, however this list covers the most likely and most common expenses.
This list is quite exhaustive
(And perhaps more in-depth than some other people would choose to
disclose**.) however I believe that detail and clarity is absolutely
paramount.
**This is by no means a dig at anyone in the slightest. Different things work for different people. It's up to each individual accepting financial support to decide what they disclose.

Only Financially Support Me If It's Reasonable For You
Please ensure that you do not over spend;
I hate to think of people draining their financial stability for my
sake. Only financially support me if it's feasible and your desire to.
If you do not support me financially, that is entirely understandable. The fact that you are on my website to begin with, is in itself something I'm very thankful of!
