One thing I don't get is how they sustain themselves in terms of income - does anyone know what they do to support their lifestyle? Just really curious (and potentially out of the loop). Thanks.

I don't think they sustain themselves with this project.

They get 900 USD a month of stable income from Patreon. Add to that income from art commissions etc. and realize that they don't have to pay rent, car insurance etc.

Looks sustainable enough.

Mantaining a boat is very expensive. The people I know with boats all make what we call good money here.

But I guess by HN standards are different to mine.

Ahh right so this is not a 365days per year thing, but they have relatively normal jobs in the industry?

I think they worked in the industry and don’t need to work to sustain themselves now. Probably they had a few years of runway and then together with their income sources can sustain themselves at a slight negative.

I doubt it. In my experience most people who have this kind of lifestyle is people who dont need to work.
