June Round-Up (Patreon)

Hi everyone, it's June!

Quick reminder: the complete-edition sale is still going on, and will wrap up on July 15th! Here's the link to the Patron-exclusive discount.   

Maybe last month's update was prophetic, because I feel like this month things are finally turning around a bit! Some long term things I've been working on have finally gotten un-stuck, I have some new cats (more below), I have been shipping lots of books and I finally!!! got a vaccine!!! Aaaa!!! I won't get my second vaccine until mid-July, but this one-dose strategy has had a HUGE impact in BC. As a result I can actually see people again that I haven't been able to see in real life for many months and I'm super grateful. 

But hey, what was going on here on Patreon...?

$1 Early Access

We're continuing with Shenzhen Fast, and this month we learned about workforce migration in China and CNC machining as a prototyping method! 

$2 Sneaky Peaks

I posted more inks from the upcoming Career Zine, and I also posted a fairly detailed reconstruction of an X/1999 page that I did for practice :) A copy of X vol 1 is up for grabs there, by the way... 

$5 Behind the Scenes

Speaking of deconstruction, I posted a vlog about that topic for $5 patrons. I also posted the first thumbnails of the next technical zine I want to work on! What will it be...?

$10 The LAB

Been tossing around some ideas for a new SF short comic, and I posted some concept art for that story in the lab. 

Jam IRL

Choji was adopted and went to his forever home! 🎉 He has a new brother that he's getting along with so far, and I'm soooooo happy for him 💜 Then not two days later I picked up these two! This pair of bonded siblings were sadly surrendered, but they're both sweet as pie and are already such characters so it was easy to draw them for the top illustration. 

Obito is extremely snuggly and loves to squeeze under things

Sakura loves being the center of your attention when she wants to be pet. She's the boss!!! 

They both get along really well and will follow me around wherever I am haha so that's been nice to have around. 

Gosh, I really enjoy taking care of cats!! Nobody could have predicted this. 

Ok, I'm going to go wave around a laser for them, I hope you're also getting a chance at some slightly-safer summer vibes where you're at. Stay strong!!
