I'm having a kind of art block week so I've been spending my time organizing folders and Patreon tags and while I was going through my scrap folder I found this: a Colin O'Donoghue face study thing I did for when I was working on Jack's design ear...
2020-07-28 16:08:07 +0000 UTC View PostHi. Hello. Howdy.
Just an update on that thing I said I was going to do, which is to go through all my posts and update/fix the tags. I've been notoriously disorganized (henceforth known as "notorganized") with tagging. And then Patreon make...
2020-07-27 13:56:30 +0000 UTC View PostHappy 1-week-before-the-end-of-the-month! (?)
Time for the August calendar poll. Who should feature? The theme will continue to be summer, this time with an emphasis on Lammas, maybe something with orchards/produce gardens.
Thought y'all might like to see this before the cover goes up end of the month. H aha ha hahahahhhah

Ahhh! Woke up to see y'all brought me to over $400/month here on Patreon dot com. I know some people think it's tacky to talk about money but like, literally that's what we're doing here, and I want to thank you all for this. This is a point at wh...

Ahoy, mateys. It's time for the July newsletter.
Right so first of all, some Patreon tomfoolery.
I don't know what's going on with Patreon lately, but it's annoying and disruptive. This morning I believe it was d...

Freddi feat. chub
There's only one mobile version since his junk is not visible in it. You will have to imagine it on your own :0

I just updated the website with artwork and while I was doing so I FOUND THIS LMAO
This is one of the first colored pics I worked on while developing this series. Why does Jack look like a werewolf? Why does Diana look like Anastasia from 50...
2020-06-26 16:56:11 +0000 UTC View PostSince we've cycled through Diana, Jack, and Rosemary, I think we should do Freddi for July. (frankly we should all do Freddi every month) So instead for the poll, let's vote on the theme. July's overall theme will be summer. I guess National Bikin...

One of the things I set myself up for without really realizing it in the beginning was all the fake books I was going to have to write if Diana is an editor. I do actually write all this stuff and then warp it/integrate it into the pages -- someti...

Happy Friday
Jack is so cute in this panel I had to share it.
ETA ALSO THIS. Chapter 00 vs Chapter ELIXIR wow
This is REALLY boring, but here we go: A list of things I do after the script is cleaned up and the pages are more or less ready to go:
I meant for this to go out yesterday.
When I originally started thinking about what kind of comic I wanted Familiar to be, I decided I wanted to go full slice of life about New York and aesthetic. I wanted to try to show real life things lik...

This will probably be short, but here's your June newsletter.

This wasn't really the pinup art I meant to draw for the calendar, but it is the only thing that feels right at the moment. So here's Jack honoring the legacy of Marsha PAY IT NO MIND Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, Stonewall, and the many other trans wom...
2020-06-01 16:11:48 +0000 UTC View PostHi,
This is a message to let you know that I am running late with the June calendar art (Jack). I meant to do it this weekend but I have been preoccupied in my community. I just haven't had a chance to draw. My feet are sore from pavem...

Here's a look at sort of when stuff happens from the page planning level between thumbnails and my finals, using a page from 07 CENTER. Familiar is basically my first and only sequential project so I'm nowhere near saying my layouts are GOOD, but ...
2020-05-27 16:26:32 +0000 UTC View PostHey there! Last week of May so it's time for the pinup calendar poll. June's calendar will be themed around the summer solstice. Who should we feature?

As you may have heard, either from other creators or Patreon itself, there are some tax rules changing that are out of my control. I'm configuring my Patreon settings in the hopes I can minimize the amount of tax you are charged, but I ...

Hi!
I'm going to try to post more frequently. I really want to, and I'm working on Familiar every day, but I feel like most of the stuff I have to talk about is really boring. But it occurs to me that maybe I just think it's boring, and othe...
