Honoured to have one of my mentees gift me with some art of Resin with some thoughtful words I'd like to share here:
"I’m a person who prides themselves on absolute control over emotions, trying to stay above things and not give into indulging in negative feelings. Destruction of items make me cringe, but during a few days, I wanted to smash everything in my parents’ house and just lite...
Here's the second of the diptych of found studies and letters to me from my ex-wife. As written in Part 1, she is amazing woman but was eventually out of options and emotional reserves to support and trust me.
I can feel myself moving forward on a more positive wave. I'm still bringing in fresh income despite the sizeable backup of my queue, and I'm back to choosing healthier options...
While going through some storage bins in the garage, I stumbled across a set of forgotten studies and some hand-written notes from my ex-wife, from around the same time in 2015. It meant so much to me when she cared enough to write her feelings down, the intimacy of that medium delivering so much more than just words, and this was one of the last letters she'd ever write me.
These were the...
Hey there, Patrons and guests!
After returning from a work/visit in Switzerland and going through more art archives, I felt it was time for another live hangout/talk.
Feel free to publish/share this post anywhere you see fit—it's public!

Hi, Patrons!
I didn't get to properly thank you all while I was travelling the last three weeks, but I think this record speaks for itself. A lot of growth happened because people like you believed in me! A thank-you isn't enough.
In the time I spent doing lectures and sharing paintings of my personal characters, a lot of lives have changed. The fulcrum for this was the support I rec...

Hey there, Patrons.
I just finished scanning the majority of my backlogue today, and it includes a healthy portion of old forgotten sketches. But of all the scans I accrued, I felt this diptych was a succinct facsimile of my mental landscape during January 2016. One is my sitting in the cluttered bedroom my ex wife and I shared, with trash and forgotten college books spilling out from under...
A quick comic made today, just to share a little slice of life from this morning, see if I could do the drawing in just 30 minutes, and also make use of my scanner my housemate and I went halvsies on.

Greetings my friends and fans (not mutually exclusive I hope!).
I've returned from Midwest Furfest to a full queue including and an inspired mindset. I think on where I was one year ago, when my wife was moving out of the house, and it really hits home how much life has changed for the better.
I redid my panel on Personas (to a completely packed room, no less) and applied some critiques fo...

Hello, my dear Patrons.
I have officially ended my much-needed vacation period. Since returning home to a pre-Trump America I've done some much-needed cleaning, participated in a protest for the first time in my life, had four huge phone calls, handled my business correspondence backlog, and documented all comics created between Eurofurence and today.
From now to December 1st I'll be...

Today I am updating you from my friend's apartment in Queens. I have not been home recently due to a flux of convention and travel activity, but I look forward to throwing plenty of updates at you after November 15th or so.

Hello, Patrons. NCOD was yesterday evening, and this is the first time in my life I've had the opportunity to observe. Attached you will find my exact words. I'm sharing it here in case it may be a positive thing for someone to read. Have a good Wednesday, -J

I have many comics I've been producing recently. My only rule is that they be autobiographical— I'd rather document my life than fantasize in these crappy doodles.Every now and then, all Patrons will have access to an older or minor strip, but since the majority of my new comics are emotionally charged and explicit in nature, Black Hare patrons will have exclusive access. Upgrade to that tier at...

This panel will one day be delivered online, as a Patreon-only message, but in the meantime it will premier this Thursday, March 31st, at 10PM. "-Fix a Life" documents where I started my personal work, how this Patreon came to exist, and where it took me.
Reassessing and restructuring these experience has proven overwhelming. But in the midst of this stress, I'm reminded th...

Hey, Patrons!This talk was special for a few reasons. It was the first time I had someone on the show I didn't know incredibly well already, but I knew Magnus wouldn't disappoint! She introduced us to the roots of her character and fandom participation, and how the furry thing brought her a sense of escape before transitioning into real healing. Powerful stuff!Hope you all enjoy it as much as I di...
