The show must go on. An update.

Good morning, my beautiful Patrons.

Thank you all for the incredible outpouring of love and support over the past few days. Reading your messages has been truly heartwarming, and I deeply appreciate you taking the time to connect with Fraser and me. It means more than words can say. Rather than replying to each message individually, please accept this as my sincere and heartfelt thanks to all of you. Your kindness has been an invaluable comfort during this challenging time.

Graeme, my father-in-law, was a huge part of our lives, truly one of the sweetest, most welcoming, and exceptional people I've ever known. Even through the toughest moments of his illness, he remained kind, jovial, and incredibly positive, always encouraging and comforting us. The hospital staff adored him and often remarked on his gentle nature. He inspired me deeply that way. I wish I had even half of his joyful and jovial disposition, honestly. He is profoundly missed.

Naturally, things feel a little strange right now. I've been doing my best to balance work and try to complete the July artwork in between connecting with friends and family, making arrangements, and supporting Fraser's mother. I managed to get a couple of hours in this morning to continue working on the ICEMAN pinup set which will be ready to post shortly. Gotta say... It's certainly surreal to be working on illustrated, erotic male art in the midst of family tragedy; life is so frikkin' weird, sometimes!

But through all of this, you, my Patrons, remain a true beacon of light for both Fraser and me. Drawing and creating art for you continues to bring me so much joy and fulfillment. Sharing my work and hearing from you always fills me with happiness, and right now, that is incredibly valuable. So, amidst sadness and loss, but also in celebrating the profound love we felt for Graeme, and in honoring my deep love for creating and sharing art with all of you, life will go on.

Thank you again for your love, everyone, and for your patience as I slowly find my way back into a more regular rhythm.

You guys rock! You truly are the VERY BEST!
