Issue 3 (covering chapter 3- SHE PRAISED ME) is in the works! I'm planning to release it in February 2024, when I'm back in America. To explain my weird schedule, me and my wife have to continually travel back and forth between Germany and America every 3 months because of visa restrictions. It's uhhmm very taxing and expensive, but it is what it is. After being apart for years we're unwilling to leave each other again, especially now that we're married.
Anyway! We're leaving for German...

Thank you for an eventful day yesterday folks!

If you'd like me to hold an issue or bundle for you, please let me know ASAP! I will be willing to hold them until the public release.

The fresh reprint for #1 came in and it looks great, mission accomplished TuT Thanks for your patience everyone!
I'll include direct links to the shop tomorrow for you to place your orders; you'll get an email if you have email notifications turned on for my Patreon (ie, if you got THIS email, you're good).
Please have your Patreon name on hand as you'll need it to check out. I'll likely open sales in the morning, but I don't expect to run out same-day, so don't feel rushed....

Just making sure everybody gets this, if you read it in the packs feel free to ignore! Including images here for posterity.
If you’re in the discord you already know this, but I got my shipment yesterday from my printer and unfortunately they aren’t in sellable quality (I also sent pictures in the discord so people knew what was up). Not only were they damaged, but many of them have poor printing and interior creasing. I’m not comfortable selling these, so I need to negotiat...

Hello all!
People on discord know this already, but by popular demand I'm planning a new run of Issue #1 single issues and bundles for people that missed them last year!
I'm organizing everything now and it'll still be VERY LIMITED since I'm still working by myself. Also Gumroad in their infinite wisdom decided to remove the preorder function from their shops, so that really complicates the ordering process.
Anyway! I'm gonna keep it simple:

I did a lot of weird exploration this month in my illustrations. My health is still wonky and uncomfortable, which I think is leading me down strange roads. Anyway, hope you like them!

I had a fun (and stressful) time designing and realizing the Living Industries Termitaries and the layout of Oasis, the domed city where they were built. There’s a lot of scribbly design work that went into it, too (most of which I won’t burden you with), but I included a couple here! You'll learn more about this strange place in the future, so I won't go too far into it^-^

Hello Patrons, new and old! I wanted to make a separate post in light of the recent censoring of Facing the Sun on Webtoon, and the growth in here due to that.
I really didn’t expect the support that found me when the last episode was removed. I thought I’d post an episode to make sure people knew what happened, then pick myself out of the mud on my own and drag myself to the next week. But instead I found many, many people helping me up, brushing me off, and cheering for me as I we...

Hey folks!
I expanded on some of the instructional illustrations I'm making for Graphixly, thinking they might be interesting or helpful for some of you! (These are only small examples of the overall course.) These were fun to make; I haven't worked like this since college, but it's cool to see how I've improved with this style!
As I mentioned last month, I couldn't do any FTS this month due to health concerns and other piled up work. This will be the first time in 4 years that I ...

As I mentioned last month, I couldn't do any FTS this month due to health concerns and other piled up work. This will be the first time in 4 years that I take a break; I always want FTS to be as good as I can manage, but my bad health has been escalating since November and I decided to pull my foot off the gas in January when I started developing stress ulcers (TMI, sorry).

Thank you for your support! This month has been rough, but I'm hopeful for the future thanks to you guys. I hope everyone is doing okay. FTS and various other things divided my attention this month so not too much here. Not much to say from me, so I'll let the art speak for itself this month.
