Hey there, Patrons.
I said most of what I wanted to up there in that video, but one more thing, here: I wanted to say thank you again for giving me more incentive to be present for you all. I never thought I'd get to share my life this actively, but here we are.
This morning I wasn't feeling very hopeful, but I promised I'd do a stream every day this week, and so at 10AM CST that's w...

Hey Public and Patrons.
I started compiling this list in 2012. Even though it's an older resource, it's full of gold. Naturally, the best content I can't at all credit to myself so much as the better folks I surround myself with.

Dear Patrons,
This may sound stupid, but even though I've spent thousands on going to conventions for my career, buying new equipment is still hard for me to do. When I reach hardware failure with no easy fix, I remember my parents surviving paycheck to paycheck, creatively manufacturing a space to keep us fed and feeling safe. I feel guilty for not using what I have unless it's tu...

Hey there, Patrons!
Here's that talk I gave at Eurofurence that went better than I could have possibly imagined. I'm leaving this for you while still ironing out a few wrinkles.
Still getting the audio file together that had some time before and after the recording. That'll be shared here, too.
Thanks, and hope you enjoy! Feel free to leave me your comments here.
Hey Patron supporters and public!
Here's what happened in the last seven days:
- Destroyed my deadline with the promised wiggle room for AD corrections, which weren't necessary. Walked to France as a little treat for myself.
- Back to the commission queue! Recording every assignment for more Artist Tier patron content.
Here's what's coming up:
- Writing on vulnerable tru...
Today I feel very weak and sick and am facing an intense deadline, so I took it as an opportunity: could I do weekly recaps even when my health or time conditions weren't ideal?
While approaching my next stretch goal of monthly interviews, I thought this would be a good segue. Expect more vlogs in the future!
Love,
-J
A.K.A. "The Fucky Verses of the Bible"
I spent over 5 hours last Friday night talking to a room of +250 people. We talked about my divorce before showing some of my sexually explicit gay furry paintings I created as a prayer. I then shared comics about my recovery as a sex addict, then had a brief Bible study before an analyst joined-impromptu to marry his objective and my subjective findings on...

Enjoying the rich cultural diversity present at Eurofurence, making it my favourite convention, period! I've recently found relief in understanding and speaking high German now that I'm outside of Switzerland, even if it's still a bit scary for me.
But in the meantime, I'm in my hotel room right now chomping on lunch and arting my little heart away to make my art show and Dealer's Presence...
I recently participated in a meme devised to share more parts of myself with my online fans. It grew larger than I anticipated!

Hello, dear Patrons!
#BEOKAY has been pushed out into the public sphere! Those purchasing were friends, clients, and hopefully also soon-to-be new friends. It was a risk, yet the time it took to produce found 70 preorders and enough sales to cover my time spent outside of commissions/convention prep! Dear Patreons, how do you like your free image pack? Give me the skin...
Hey there, dear Patreon supporters.
I'm here to promote an image pack that I'm selling on Gumroad! The order info is at the bottom.
All Patrons will receive a free version featuring a compilation of the journal sketches. As a special thanks to Black Hare patrons and Mentees, they will receive the full package for free! If you're interested in the full package as a regular supporter, I en...
One of my dear art friends and travel companions, Sasha, briefed me on his time in this years Illustration Master Class. The IMC is where you'll find some of the industry's best teaching each other in an attempt to reduce who we are into artwork.

A new exclusive for the Black Hare patrons!
I'll try out Patreon's early access feature to release this to the public 30 days from now.
You are all the first to see the completed image, but it will premier to the public at BLFC in just about a week's time.

My first established OC in the furry fandom was Kelly the Kickboxing Kangaroo. Stereotypical name, role, and alliteration helped me to keep things light and casual while I explored the Furry Fandom in greater depth. And at the time (c. 2010), I wanted a character that gave me an excuse to draw shirtless, dynamic poses and hand/feet-wraps.
As much as I found hand-to-hand combat interesting, ...

Airu has been a treasured artist for some time. After seeing a feline sketch on her Patreon I knew I had to try doing some painting on top. But she brought it to a more readable level with a final pass.

Greetings, Patrons!
