Hi Patrons,
I just want to express to you how sorry I am about Patreon's decision to change the fee structure. As a creator using this platform, I fully expect to be the one to carry the processing and usage fees and I fully expect that, when a supporter pledges $1 or $2 or whatever amount, that is the amount they will be charged.
They didn't give us creators but a day's warning before they unleashed this. Right before Christmas for the added nip of brutality, I suppose. The...
Just some photos of the card game and booth from MFF this past weekend. Mostly posting in case anyone's interested in what the game came out looking like. They arrived just in time.
We sold out of everything we had at the con, but one box of 20 games didn't quite make it to Chicago, so those will go up for sale in the online store before Christmas.
More will be available after the new year as well, at which point I'll arrange for some kind of mini-giveaway for Patrons....
Latest comic page.
There's a slightly larger version here, in case this is difficult to read.
This was supposed to be a two-parter, but I've run out of time to work on the second part. I've got to make my way to Chicago for MFF, but I'll be back with more soon.
If by chance, any of you are planning to be at MFF as well, I'll be at tables A 22-25

Just some messy sketches for things in progress.
I'm really only posting this so I can say Happy Thanksgiving to anyone who's celebrating today!
...And to extend my gratitude to readers and Patrons for making Lackadaisy possible and for making it feel so worthwhile. When I was a kid, the people closest to me told me I could never make a living as an artist - that pursuing it as a career was foolish and unrealistic.
Well, foolish it may be, but I'm so glad they were wrong about...
Hi guys,
The next livestream will be this coming Friday, November 24th starting at 4pm CST (5pm EST) at my Twitch Channel.
I'll likely be working on some comic art, but bring any requests or art questions along with you if you have them!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hope to see you there!
Miscellaneous reward drawings and request sketches from livestreams (Nico ruining some nice clothes, Serafine as a farm hand, Freckle as a To Hell and Back Audie Murphy, a birthday sketch for one of the Discord moderators, Lacy the coffee fairy and Wick finding little respite by the pool).
Livestream schedule up shortly...
Art I was working on in last night's super late stream (my thanks to the night owls who joined me!)
Pencil, water soluble graphite, and watercolor.
Streaming some pencil/watercolor art for a while tonight (Friday) on Twitch. Come by if you like!

Hey everyone,
I'll be hanging out on the Lackadaisy Discord for some chit-chat and Q&A this Saturday, November 4th, starting at 7:00pm EST/6:00pm CST. Just stop by the #lackachat channel if you'd like to mingle for a bit!

It's like a sandwich, but with more glitter.
Happy Halloween, guys!
Well, this took up a lot of very late nights over the past while . There's a lot of comic art here that needed recoloring and rejiggering to serve this purpose. There's a lot of new art too. Anyway, barring some fixes to the title text on the cards, this is all going to print soon! Not all of the cards are included here, but I figured I'd provide a preview for you guys.
If you're interested, I'll arrange a giveaway of the game set for Patrons once I have some in hand.

Had a couple of requests for this as a wallpaper, so I've expanded the artwork a bit to suit that purpose. It seemed fitting for October.
As usual, the attached ZIP file contains images in standard desktop and device aspect ratios as well as an extra large image that can be cropped to your liking.
New stuff coming up shortly!

Hey all,
The next livestream will be this Sunday, October 15th starting at 2pm CST (3pm EST) at my Twitch Channel.
Some Halloween art is on the docket, but I'll try to fit in a request sketch or two from the chat as well. Feel free to come with art and comic process questions too.
Hope to see you there!
This should have been up a few days ago. I apologize. I bit off a bit more than I could chew. And sorry for the poetry-pile too. Heh. >_> I promise not to do that again for a long time.

Trying something new this year, in case anyone here is interested!
The theme is pretty loose. As long as the art is related to Lackadaisy and Halloween in some way, almost anything goes. Judging will be based on execution, creativity, and how much wicked glee you took in concocting your entry!
Submissions don't necessarily need to include Lackadaisy characters - for example, a spooky art deco club motif would qualify too. Characters can appear in any form, be it c...
Painted a little drawing done in a livestream not long ago.
The comic update is a two-page-in-one dealy to kick of the new chapter, and it will go up later this coming week!
Hi guys,
Doing some streaming now while I work on comic panels (Friday evening, the 22nd). Feel free to come by!

EDIT: Done streaming for now. Thanks for joining me!
A Nico. He's tricky to get right. I haven't been happy with any of my previous attempts at a human drawing, but this is at least a bit closer, I think.

Hi all,
I'll be holding a livestream on Friday, September 15, starting at 5:00pm CST (6:00pm EST) on my Twitch channel.
I'm not sure yet what I'll be working on - possibly some comic art - but I'll leave some room for a request sketch or two. Feel free to come and bring any questions you might have about comic and art process related things as wel...
This should have been up a few days ago. I've been down with a stubborn chest cold since I returned home from traveling. My apologies.
Anyway, I have a lot of stupid dreams. Sometimes I jot them down upon awakening. It's sort of an amusing exercise to see if they translate to comic form. Hopefully they're worth a smirk or two.
Next comic update will return to regular Lackadaisy programming.
Viktor's getting his yeti on, I guess. He's not really a Siberian cat (or any specific breed), but I figured it'd be fun to draw him with the characteristic ruff...and then things got stupider from there. As they do. He'd need that turtleneck sweater to keep it all under control.
Upcoming Content:
Anyway, this is not this month's intended content post, of course. I'm posting it mostly to say that I just got back from a long trip during which I worked on ...
For my birthday this year, I took a little day trip out to the Ozarks with a friend. We stopped at the Missouri Mines site - a defunct galena (lead ore) mining facility handed over to the state parks system upon its closing - to explore and take some photos of this brick and metal wasteland. I learned a lot while there and put together this little album in case anyone else (besides Wick) is interested.
Anyway, this was an exploration of the topside of a large Missouri mining o...
Just a little reward sketch of Rocky from a while back. I'm on the road right now myself, but will return with some new things to share.

I've had some requests for 1920s music and for my livestream playlist as of late...and I've been promising to share. I hesitated to hand out the livestream list as it is, though, because it's a mad hodgepodge of unrelated things, many of which are sourced from my hard drive and not the Spotify network. Neither did I have a well organized playlist exclusively for old-timey tunes. So, I did some rearranging and collecting to create these two playlists:
Hey guys,
The next livestream will be this Thursday, August 10th beginning at 5:00pm CST at my Twitch Channel.
I'll likely be working on some reward drawings or some things for the upcoming chapter of the comic, but I'll be happy to take some requests too! Feel free to come along and bring questions if you have them!
As always, hope to see you the...
Headlong, Picklock and Skirmish - new desktop and device backgrounds! I had some requests for the top two images to be expanded for wallpaper use, and decided to throw in the Skirmish art as well.
In the attached ZIP files, you'll find images at the most common display sizes/aspect ratios. Also included with each is a large "full size" image that can be cropped and sized to your liking.
If there are any images or comic panels you'd like to have as a wallpaper, feel free...
Hi all,
There'll be an open Q&A session tomorrow, August 5th, starting at 6pm CT / 7pm ET. As always, feel free to come by, ask questions, shoot the breeze a bit, and engage in some senseless prattle!

Here's the invite link to ...
Chapter ending. The full resolution image can be viewed here, in case this is difficult to read.
Welp, onto something different with some familiar faces in the next canon update. I'm looking forward to it, and to the change of scenery. It's perhaps obvious that I'm trying to do something a bit more with color here in Volume 3, but I'm not hitting the right notes yet. ...
