We're BACK in January!
🕑 Added 2022-12-20 15:24:13 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Thanks so much for sticking with me through the "Great Patreon Pause of 2022". As a reminder, I needed to basically stop everything I was doing in order to finish the graphic novel I'd been working on with Ngozi (of Check! Please) for the past few years. The good news is: I ACTUALLY DID THAT! Aside from the normal production process (edits, cover art, etc) all the pages are inked, colored, lettered and ready to go!
LOOK HOW GOOD IT LOOKS!!!

So, what will I be posting here in the coming months to make my Patreon worth your while? Well, at the $5 tier I'll be posting an entirely NEW short comic about some wizards going to a barn party, aptly titled "WIZARD BARN PARTY."
It's 24 pages long and I'll be uploading 2 pages a week until it's done! They will be finished to this example stage (inks and letters). I'm still trying to decide whether I want to render it in grayscale or color.
This comic will be Patreon-exclusive for it's run (I'll be posting the eventual grayscale/color pages as well), and then I'll be selling a digital PDF on Gumroad or Itch.io or somesuch after it's complete. I'll post it publicly around Halloween 2023, so you'll get to read it SUPER early.
As for ROBBER/ROBERT at the $7 tier:
The KS has been delayed by printing backups and paper shortages so far out of my control it's maddening. But things are chugging along and everything will hopefully be wrapped up in Q1 2023 (January-March).
In the meantime, I'm starting work on Chapter 2, and also possibly a short 10-20 page comic with Slipshine. I'm still in the thumbnail stage on Ch2 right now, so I'll be posting new art, pinups, doodles, little comics, etc to pass the time. Here's a sample!
And of course, beyond all this, I'm always drawing some kind of fish or vegetable or bug. I'll be posting these, and the monthly Roundups to the $3 tier! Here's an eel I finished recently!
I'm thinking about running polls to decide what kind of nature-themed sticker I make next??
FINALLY, the biggest question I'm regularly asked: What's up with Sakana? Well, now that I'm finished with the RR KS and the graphic novel, I'm planning on getting back to it this year! No hard date for that revival yet, but it's COMING.
And if you all have more suggestions for things you'd like to see from me, please let me know!
Thanks again for sticking around! I hope you're excited for January!! 💪
