CSA

Hey! Do you want to actively support the creation of my new and original art and stories? Would you like a VIP behind-the-scenes experience? Monthly stories and weekly updates? Then consider joining the Heliopause Community Supported Artistry program! Pick your favorite platform—or go directly to the source!

What’s a CSA?

Inspired by CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) “vegetable boxes,” the Heliopause Community Supported Artistry program is a way for you to directly support me (Goldeen Ogawa) and my mission to change the world through art and stories. Just like Patreon and Ko-Fi, members subscribe on a monthly or annual basis and receive a variety of regularly delivered rewards. [Link takes you to my online studio, heliopause.pro]

So what are the rewards?

CSA rewards consist of art and writing that I want to be doing, or get done, but that I’m not ready to publicly release yet—if ever! Think of it like the ultimate VIP Backstage Pass. Also, some rewards are finished products! Whenever I publish a new book, or produce a new print, sticker, or card, CSA members will get one—depending on their tier. Find detailed descriptions here!

What are the tiers?

Currently there are two tiers of membership: Fellow Explorer (digital only) and Antellonian (digital + physical). Both tiers require a valid email, but only Antellonians need a shipping address. Membership is open to all residents of the planet Earth. Here’s how they compare:

Sample Shares 

Not sure about it? Not a problem! You can check out all the Digital Share posts from November 2022 right here. The password for Minor posts is quenched and for Major posts it is indigo. (Note that these posts do not include the monthly short story.)

Housekeeping

Digital and electronic items will be delivered by email or platform message, either embedded, attached, or containing links to content such as protected blog posts or download links, and any necessary access codes or passwords. Purchase of a membership implies consent to receive emails from directly from Goldeen Ogawa and via her websites goldeenogawa.com and heliopause.pro, and any third party mail service she may use to facilitate reward delivery.

Physical items will be shipped via the most economical method. There is no extra charge for shipping, but members are responsible for any applicable taxes and import duties.

Goldeen Ogawa and Heliopause Productions may store email addresses, names, telephone numbers and shipping addresses such as are necessary for fulfillment of CSA reward deliveries. They will only share this information strictly as needed in order to fulfill these deliveries, and will not otherwise share, publish, or sell members’ information.

Members joining through Ko-Fi or Patreon will have their subscriptions managed by those platforms. Members purchasing shares directly from Heliopause will have their subscriptions managed by the Heliopause Team using tools provided by either PayPal.com or Squareup.com. In no case will Goldeen Ogawa or Heliopause Productions store credit card information.

The goal here is to share art and stories. If you have a friend, or know someone that you think would benefit from some art, you can share your rewards with them. That being said, members are paying for this content, so please share discreetly (no posting those passwords on social media!) or consider purchasing a share as a gift for your friend. Gift shares may be purchased via Heliopause by ticking the “This is a gift” box and filling in the relevant information.

In Conclusion

I hope you’ll consider joining me on my artistic journey, for however long or short a time that is. Remember you can always purchase my work directly from my Online Store, and my books can be found on Amazon, Kobo, and the iBookstore. If you have questions get in touch. And as always, take care out there!
