All Fishing in America posts still free

But I've enabled paid options

I just want to give a big thank you to everyone who’s been following along to these fishing tales and illustrations. It’s been a total blast to be receiving such great submissions. The world is full of amazing storytellers and I feel lucky to be on the receiving end of such inspired work and in a position to curate these stories and interpret them with paint. I’m almost a quarter of the way through this journey, and on my way to making a book of them when I reach 47 illustrated stories. Here’s an old fishing painting from probably 15 years ago to break up the text so this isn’t so darn boring! (Before I tell you about the paid subscriptions options.)

I’ve decided to make it an option for people to support this project financially through paid subscriptions. They each get something special. I’ve made three options for ya:

$5 monthly (once you reach $60, you get a giclee print of your choosing)

$60 annual (receive a giclee print of your choosing)

$100 for founders in the “true believer” tier (you’ll receive a signed, first edition copy of the book in a year or two when it’s out.)

Let me know if you would rather pay by venmo and bypass the substack/stripe payment fees. I think substack takes 14% or something zany. My venmo handle is @samrobertsonart

Thanks for considering supporting me in this passion project. No pressure to, because you’re doing enough already by reading these posts. I’m just trying to speed this along, because if I can make a little money doing it, I can take time off of work to paint. Otherwise this goes slower than I’d like. Thanks again, and here’s one more fishing painting from days of old:
