100% Beef - Inking Time Lapse

Happy Friday, cowboys/girls/theys!

Have a 3 minute time lapse video of the inking process for 100% Beef! This one's quick and is just the time lapse and my usual lil' beat, no voiceover or intro. Nice and simple!

Have a lovely weekend!

100% Beef - Complete

Howdy, heffers!

I had an unfinished sketch for this on my hard drive, sitting there for over a year. I always liked the concept, but clearly abandoned the sketch for a reason, so I started over again and finished it up tonight.

I think I'd like to make it into a sticker. I like the stark black and white so I'll keep that intact. Sometimes simpler is better! I wanted it to feel like a label you'd see on a pack of meat or a food item, and I think I've achieved that. I'll have a 3 mi...

Astro Man - WIP

Happy Tuesday, cuties!

I hope you had a lovely Christmas if you celebrate, Monday if you don’t. Made a little progress on my Astro Boy homage here, and wanted to share!

Christmas with covid didn’t feel much like Christmas, but I had a decently relaxing and nice day all things considered. It was especially fun getting to work on some art last night, and I’m excited to make more progress on it. I’ve gone with a thinner line than usual which probably doesn’t seem like a big...

VIDEO - Silk and Roses - Process Time Lapse

Happy Saturday!

As promised, I've put together a time lapse video (with commentary) of my piece, Silk and Roses! I hope you enjoy, and please let me know what you think in the comments below. <3

I might be making this one public in the coming days but for now, you lovely folks get to see it early. This ended up being more work to put together than I expected but I did enjoy the process of editing and doing the voiceover. I pray I'm not hopelessly awkward, haha.

Thanks for...

Mr Sticker - January 2024 - COMPLETE

Happy Friday, my little petals!

It's Friday, right? I have a bit of that covid cabin fever so days are really smushing together right now.

Since September, I've included a custom Mr Sticker sticker with the larger Pinup Sticker Club stickers (how many times can I say "sticker" in a sentence???), trying to keep it somewhat in parity with the theme of the main sticker. January's theme is venus fly trap, so I wanted Mr Sticker to get in on the bug and/or plant theme too. I ended up w...

Happy Wednesday, my silky ganaches!

I was in Ohio visiting my sister and her family from Friday to Monday, which was mostly a wonderful time, but...we brought home covid with us. So I'm feeling CRUMMY. But I'd still like to work on art, and this piece was begging to be finished.

It's not a high concept piece. I love roses, I love flowy fabrics, I love greenery, pretty moons and stars and clouds, greek/roman columns, all that bullshit. It's all just pretty stuff I ...

Pinup Sticker Club - January Sticker COMPLETE

Happy Wednesday, my little houseflies!

The winner of the Pinup Sticker Club poll was “Venus Fly Trap,” so I thought it’d be fun to revisit an incomplete concept of mine from November of 2022.

I’ve always loved the aesthetic of fairies ever since I was a kid (how did my parents not know…?) and I’ve pulled from the theme a good few times throughout my time drawing pinups. I like to think this guy is a blueberry fairy looking for a decent place to nap. He know’s he’s ...

Mighty Good Man - Sketch

Happy Monday, my lil’ atoms!

I’m a big fan of Astro Boy similarly to how I‘m a big fan of Doraemon. I love them as icons, as character designs, probably more iconic and perfect than anything I could ever hope to create. I’ve consumed enough media of both to understand what they are, what their purpose is, but I’ve never felt particularly obsessed with, say, their comics or cartoons. Still, I adore them both. They’re uncomplicated symbols of the joyous side of Japanese creati...

Poll results are in…sorta.

Hey Patrons!

I thought the poll for the Pinup Sticker Club January sticker theme was supposed to end late last night, but it’s still going and the app and browser both won’t let me edit the post to close the poll, so…I’m gonna cut it off here, officially. I must have set the end date on that wrong. Human error!

“Venus fly trap” won by a tiny lil’ bit! Rose lost by quite a bit - not surprising, I’ve done a lot of images with roses and am currently w...

Soft Silk - Work In Progress Preview

Happy Saturday, silkies!

I wanted to hop in and show a quick lil' preview of this image as I continue working on it between commissions and such. It's coming along nicely, and I'm excited to keep plugging away at it! Colors aren't necessarily final, but I'm definitely feeling that blue/green, bright and clean feel.

Also, I'm just calling it Soft Silk for now but I'll think of a better name for the piece when it's all finished.

Enjoy your weekend!

Tattoo Guy, December 2023

Happy Friday, my tits and tats!

I’ve been a lil’ missing in action this week, aside from sticker-related stuff. This has largely been a “week of healing” after finishing up my last gig, but I feel energized to get back to sketching and posting art. Thanks for being patient with me.

I sketched and inked this last night, colored it tonight. Sometimes I just wanna make a simple pinup, and mercifully, those are easy to carry from start to finish. I was playing a little bit of ...

December stickers are in the mail!

Happy Wednesday!

I dropped the December stickers off at the post office today, so be on the lookout for that in your mailboxes very soon if you’re part of the Pinup Sticker Club! And as always, please reach out if you have any questions or issues with your sticker.

Thank you!

Silky Soft - WIP

Hello my breezy baes!

I've been wanting to do another original piece, preferably not a remake of an older piece or finishing something I've had sitting around for a long time. I've also been wanting to do something that isn't tied to a season or a holiday. I don't want to spend the next month and change drawing Christmas stuff. I don't even find Christmas to be all that sexy! Yeah, I said it!

I love a knowing glance, big lashes, columns, stars, moons, pretty things. I thought it'd...

Mr. Sticker - December 2023

Happy post-turkey recovery weekend!

(And happy Saturday, to those with impulse control.)

The past few Pinup Sticker Club stickers have also been accompanied by a themed Mr. Sticker sticker, and that’s a tradition I’d like to continue. These are really easy to pump out and they’re extra cute And fun to make, so I hope they’re appreciated!

This one might be my favorite so far. I gave him a little more color than the previous ones and it totally works. Mr. Sticker is gi...

Doodle - Roll Around

Happy Tuesday!

Getting ready to stuff your turkey in a few days? Gonna order a pizza instead? There's no wrong answer. ;)

I'll be printing and laminating December's sticker in the coming days, prepping that to go out early next month! In the meantime, I hope to do some more doodling this week, especially since it's a short work week for me (thank goodness).

See you next post!

Pinup Sticker Club - December Sticker COMPLETE

Happy Friday evening, my lil' big foots!

Just wanted to hop in and update you on the December sticker for the Pinup Sticker Club. The theme that won, overwhelmingly, was "yeti," and it took me longer than I expected to come up with a concept that felt right, but I think I landed on the right thing. He's eating a snowcone on his favorite chair, y'see!

I might make a few adjustments before printing - the shines on the ice are a bit busy for my taste - but overall I'...

Gym Crush - Complete

Hey, sweaties!

Happy Humpday! This is a piece I've long been wanting to finish...or...redo I guess. A year and a half ago, I made a nearly finished version of this same piece and never posted it because I could never quite figure out how I wanted to finish it up. I ultimately decided to redo it entirely and this is the result.

I'll post the old version in the coming days, but I wanted to let the new version shine on its own for now. I'll talk more about why I didn't connect with t...

Humpday Hunk 12/28/2022

Happy Wednesday!

I hope you had a wonderful holiday! This week's hunk is Russel. He's a big softy nerd with a penchant for picking the big-tittied diva in any given fighting game.

(I really need to practice side profiles more, I'm rusty on those!)

It's 3 in the afternoon and I'm dying for a shower, so I'm gonna keep this post short and go clean up. See you soon!

Happy Holidays!

Hello!

I hope your holiday has been wonderful! Whether you celebrate something or are just moving through the world, I hope the season has been kind to you. Treat yourself to a day full of nothing important and everything tasty, if you can!

2022 has been a really challenging year for me in so many ways, but especially in my career. That said, I feel like such a capable artist, more than ever. In the short term, I want to find my next animation gig ASAP, but I'd also like to work o...

Excercise Ball (Process)

Hey patrons!

It's just shy of Christmas at the moment and I've given myself a few days to recover from being sick (I'm on the uptick!) and play video games and work on personal art and such. I've plowed through most of Resident Evil Village, this time in third person. I rarely replay a game so soon after initially playing it, but it's just such a campy romp, I couldn't help it. It's been great fun.

Anyway, I've had this painting sitting very much unfinished on my desktop since Jul...

Sonic The Hedgehunk

Happy Friday! Here's a cursed sketch!

I was doing some storyboarding for fun, reboarding my favorite scene from Sonic Adventure 2 (the "villains meet for the first time" scene, if you know you know). I was feeling nice and loosened up and in the Sonic-y mood so I drew this incredibly unsettling thing for you.

I think Sonic the Hedgehog is like...an Atari game about this idiot who runs around collecting golden cockrings or something, I dunno. I'm a Mario guy myself. Love a good mus...

Happy Humpday, hunks!

(Yes, you're all hunks.)

I'm sick yet again this week, it's been a punishing month! But I'm at least able to get a few hours of work in at my computer, and had to get your weekly dose of hunk to you. Can't let your thirst go unquenched! (I am steadily getting better, no need to worry.)

I've never drawn a trans man in a sexualized context, and I don't want to make a big deal of it, but since this Patreon is meant to be a place where I share my thoughts o...

Stay Cute Sticker, 2022 Version

Heyo!

Just a quick n' cute post today. This is a remake of an older sticker that's always been a good seller on my store. I recently ran out of them and decided it'd be fun to try an updated version as a die-cut sticker (the previous one being a circle label)! They'll be in stock in my etsy store soon. :)

Happy Sunday!

Himbo Crossing (Process)

Hiya, neighbors!

A couple months ago, I toyed with the idea of putting together a gaming pinup themed calendar, and then it became immediately clear that such a task would be way outside my budget and outside my ability in such a short amount of time. I’d like to do a 2024 calendar of some sort, but…for now, I’m digging into some of the cute concepts I came up with for individual pieces!

One of my favorites was my Animal Crossing-themed piece! Some dumb human idiot moves int...

Okay, I'm lying, it's Thursday. But happy Thursday! My holiday commissions have been a priority right now, but I ended my day with my promised Humpday Hunk, even if it's being posted a day late. Thanks for your patience!

I've been calling this guy Bruce, and he's shown up in a piece or two of mine before. You can probably tell that I am familiar enough drawing him that I have an idea of what he's supposed to look like, but haven't drawn him enough (and/or isn't off-...

Poison Ivy...Again?!

Hey friends!

I was out of town visiting family this past weekend, and did a nice bit of sketching on the 5 hour flight home. Not much in the way of pinup stuff (spent a lot of time with my infant niece so I mostly drew cute animals for her with crayons, and not beefcakes) but I did decide to take another crack at the Poison Ivy idea.

It's similar to the first one but I think a bit more interesting. The first one is nice but it doesn't excite me. I inked it and then tried coloring ...
