The Hovel--October Edition!
My Dearest and Loveliest Patrons,
It is once again a month turned over. We’re now in October. The weather has begun cool from warm, late-summer days to the auspice of fall, calling on winter’s frost. It isn’t uncommon for us to see the first snow in October, though the weather hasn’t ...

Hello lovelies,
It is once again the beginning of a new month! Well, it’s closer to the middle, but I’m only just now sitting down to write out my newsletter.
I’m writing this on a train, which, as an American who hasn’t spent much time outside of my own country, remains a nove...

Hello Everyone!
I am currently working on some end pages for Rainbow Crate, and I thought I would share the process of working on them with all of you!
The first step is always quick sketches. For me, these are very quick, just to give the client an idea of what the composition will be. They can then choose from my quick sketches, you can see here the circled drawings are ...
THE HOVEL--AUGUST NEWSLETTER!
Hello lads (gender neutral),
I’m late this month on my Newsletter. I don’t have a specific date other than vaguely in the first week that I’m meant to be writing it, so ‘late’ is maybe a bit dramatic. I’m not ‘late,’ by any actual measure of time, and I don’t have a real 2025-08-06 18:58:35 +0000 UTC View Post

Happy August, folks.
This will likely be the September Postcard, if I don't get around to drawing something better!

Hello Babes,
It’s July now, and Summer has successfully settled over Colorado. These are the dry months here, where the lack of humidity acts as the only consolation for how hot it gets. These are times to play in the river (it’s a cr...

Hi everyone!
June was one of the most mentally trying months to live in America. I hope you all made it through safely and were able to take some time to celebrate.
I did some endpaper illustrations for Rainbow Crate that I can't share publicly yet, but you can see them 😘 I'll talk more about these two when they announce the box they're from. In the meantime, please enjoy.

Hello my Sweets,
Can I call you that? I’m going to. It’s Pride Month and therefore no one can get mad at me—virtually by law.
We are a few days off of the first, but still close enough that I don’t feel entirely like I’ve missed the deadline. Three days late is still on time whe...

Hi all,
I just wanted to pop in to say that I am pausing payments and taking my first break from Patreon since starting around 3 years ago.
I'll be back in July, don't fret! I'll explain more in the newsletter (coming tomorrow!) but mostly, I want to focus on my projects, and making the best books I can without worrying about owing you all any updates or new work.
I hope ...
Snippet of HEARTACHE!
Hello everyone!
I have been absent this month, and I’m really sorry for that. When did it suddenly become the 30th, and why haven’t I had time to draw anything for my patrons T__T??
I’m working very hard right now on my graphic novel HEARTACHE, and I was able to turn in the first pass of sketches earlier week. It’s SUCH a relief to be done with that initial pass. For me, t...

Hello Everyone,
It’s the beginning of a new month, and the beginning of True Spring here in Colorado. The first half of spring here is always a game of chicken with the weather. It will be warm for weeks in a row and then dump three inches of snow seemingly at random. I always think of this ...

Welcome!
It’s February, and it feels like the entire world has been holding its breath for a month straight. January is always a little like that, an anxious threshold standing between the true beginnings of the year. This year, that vestibule held a lot of weight. I feel it in the heavy center of every conversation, and at the edges of every day, wrapped in the comfort of my...
