Hey FAM!

Welcome to the best month of the year—October! 🍂🎃 I might be a little biased, but who doesn’t love the crisp fall air, spooky vibes, and an excuse to wear a cozy sweater? I even made a whole video about why I love October, which you can check out above this newsletter! (it's an older video) Honestly, I think I might have gone a little overboard with it... but hey, who doesn’t get carried away with Halloween spirit, right? 😆

What’s New This Month?

It’s officially been a month since I started school again, and I’m actually feeling much better about managing my time! With that said, I’m excited to announce that you can expect some Spooky NSFW illustrations this month! 👻🍑 The first one is already in the works, but I need your help to pick the theme—so if you haven’t voted in the poll yet, make sure to do that!

A Farewell to "Bring Me Love" 💖

With Bring Me Love officially wrapped up, I wanted to celebrate by releasing the third and final printed volume of the comic. Yep, it’s now available on Amazon! 🎉 https://a.co/d/3LvXpO3

If you want to keep a little souvenir of the story we experienced together, it’s there for you to grab.

This was my first long-format comic project, and though there’s a lot I would change if I could go back, I’m proud of how far I’ve come with it. Thank you for sticking with me through it all—it means the world to have your support!

What’s Coming Next? 🛸

I’ve finished writing the script for season one of “Our Odd Worlds”! 🎉 It’s a huge relief to have that done, and now I’m slowly but surely chipping away at the episodes. You guys will get early access to these as I complete each one. No set schedule, though (let’s be real, life is chaotic enough 😅), but once I’ve got at least 20 episodes finished, I’ll be making the comic public elsewhere! Only you guys will get the scoop before everyone else for a very long time.

Also, I’ve got a couple of shorter comic ideas brewing, each no longer than 10 pages. One of them’s NSFW (because balance, right?), and the other is me diving into my usual existential musings. So, expect a mix of spicy and introspective this month! (for context, one episode from Our Odd Worlds is 8 to 10 pages long)

What I’m Reading 📚

On the lighter side of things, I’ve been reading Polywise, which is all about polyamory, attachment theory, and the physiology behind opening up relationships. If you’re curious about exploring beyond monogamy, I highly recommend checking it out! It’s been an insightful read so far.

Sneak Peeks & Sketches 🎨

As always, I’ll keep sharing glimpses of my personal life, from school work to sketchbook doodles. I hope you’ll stick around for all the randomness I throw your way!
