may monthly drawings have been sent out! + some blogposting

hey all ! sorry for the little delay in posting these here. i spent the last week of last month and the start of this one so sick i thought i was gonna die but it turned out i didnt have covid, i just had a cold , and my immune system has gone to shit after 2 yrs of staying indoors. anyway im fine now, i hope the warm weather (if youre in my hemisphere) is treating you all kindly lol

here's the link for VIG patrons to submit their prompts for june! per always, please remember to get them in before the 21st. i will now talk a little bit about my life:

i became a formal member of a local print studio this month! in order to learn how to use the equipment a little bit better i plan on selling a handful of screenprinted t-shirts here on patreon. i will, of course, move them to twitter if i can't sell them here, but i'd like you all to have first dibs. i have a few concepts sketched out, just gotta pick up some blanks and mix some inks. i am thinking i will probably do a pretty simple design featuring tegan, does that sound ok to all of you?? is there any interest at all in this sort of thing? these will be like $25/shirt since they're a test batch.

i am also shamelessly trying my very hardest to find some stable work-- if any of you know anyone who's hiring designers, put me in touch! i think most of u know this by now but u can view a lot of my work, professional and otherwise, on the gallery page of my website. while 'graphic design' is a working umbrella term, i've got experience in character design as well as surface & pattern design for product and soft goods. my online archive is a bit overdue for an update but if the opportunity arises i will assemble a portfolio PDF with a quickness

sorry for jobposting. it does not thrill me to be asking this on literally every platform, haha. sincerely i think my output will actually increase when i am not panicked 24/7 about living hand to mouth, so i don't want you all to think that if i get back in the workforce it's over for my patreon. a little stability would probably improve the odds of you all seeing some more meaningful art from me lol. i am often too stressed to have fun these days

that's the end of my plug and blogpost, thank you for indulging me, i hope u are all ready for summer around the corner bc i'm not
