April Round Up (Patreon)

May is blooming all around us! 🌷🪻🌻🌷🌼 It finally feels reasonable to go outside and meet up with friends, and that ease of mobility is what inspired this train-ful illustration for the month. A high resolution desktop wallpaper and cellphone wallpaper are attached! 💜

Programming Note: Patreon finally gave us a way to create posts that only show to non-paying Patrons. So now you all won't get bothered by the pared-down version of the monthly update :) If you happen to log out and wonder "oh, why didn't I see this with my paid post?", that's why. I promise you won't be missing anything.

Let's have a look at what was posted this month...

This month was Patron Requests, hooray! Thank you everyone for all the fun webcomic suggestions, all the sketches were posted here in case you missed it!

In the Lab I wrote a bit about some updates to solarpunk.lol, along with new character illustrations for Skuttleboat Cove characters Zosia and Zephyr. A lotta Z-names this month I guess :)

Lab Techs are getting some extra news this month...👀

The Q2 shipment goodies have finally all arrived! They will be headed out to you in the next few days ^^

I've been pretty slammed at work and it seems like I may have finally succeeded at staying off my damn phone, by deleting literally everything off of it and turning it to greyscale mode (lol).

On bsky (artist chatter), I described a weird dream I had and shared that I'd been enjoying Poker Face on Gem. On mastodon (nonsense chatter) I shared a picture of a kiwi that looks like a butt. In a fit of pique I made a pixelfed that will be a duplicate of instagram + tumblr.

I'm up to Vol 6 of Witch Hat Atelier and it's so good ;___; This sounded like such a fun workshop where they made synthesizers out of... rocks?? I'm also wondering if I can convince my strata to let me build a bug house fence...

This video about Internet Checkpoints made me sad/happy... I came across a few on Instagram before I had to quit, and I've found a few others on youtube before. Have you ever stumbled into one?

JusReign came back for Earth Day somehow... (Late Bloomer was very good btw)

This is the song I've listened to 100 times this month.

My rascals have been freed from their room but they seldom want to leave anyway

Thanks so much for supporting my work 💜!
