Artists have always had patrons. Yours are already following you.
Illustration, comics, 3D, painting — a sponsorship wall gives your audience a direct way to fund the work, and a public plaque that makes them part of it.
“I have bought three prints. Backing the work felt better.”
Gold9 moFor most of history, artists were funded by patrons — named supporters who got public credit for it. Social media broke that deal: ten thousand people can love a piece, and none of it pays rent. A wall brings the deal back. Your audience funds the work, and their names go up in public. And if you take commissions, monthly backers put a floor under the slow months.
Where to put your wall link
Link-in-bio everywhere
Instagram, Bluesky, X: the one link should be the one that shows who already backs you.
Your webcomic or portfolio site
A footer badge on every page, and a patrons section that is the wall itself.
Captions on finished pieces
The moment a piece lands is the moment someone decides to fund the next one.
Commission sheets
Clients who love working with you are one line away from becoming standing backers.
Who backs artists
You get backed by people who’ve followed your work for years — and by commission clients who want to support you between projects. The plaque is the patron’s credit: their name, tier, and time, publicly attached to art they believed in. Shy backers can stay anonymous. The rest become the reason the next follower decides your work is worth funding.
How SponsoredBy works
Money goes straight to you
One-time or monthly backings, paid directly into your own Stripe account — we never hold your money. Fees: 10% on Free, 5% on Pro, 3% on Max.
Everyone signs in
You verify a handle or domain before you can take payouts, and every backer signs in to a real account before they can back you.
Support becomes plaques
Backers appear on your public wall with a tier, a name (or anonymous, their choice), and how long they’ve backed you.
Payouts currently require a U.S. Stripe account — more countries are coming. Your wall works everywhere.
