Everything I learned in High School

BEHOLD. A complete, exhaustive list of the information I retained from the entirety of my high school career. This comic is inspired by the fact that every single time I see the fluffy-puffy type clouds, I recall the lesson that named them "cumulus" and the stretched-out-gauzy ones Cirrus. Honourable mentions to a loose recollection of how a cell is put together, a smattering of Shakespeare that I will never be able to forget, some VERY good drawing advice, and a couple bonus bits of knowledg...

Thanksgiving indeed.

Oh you wonderful patrons. Inktober this year has been wonderful so far. It’s exactly the type of rewarding but time consuming project that can be such a challenge for artists. Thanks to YOUR support, I’ve been able to create content that I’m so happy with and I cannot wait to share some of the Inktober surprises coming up. It seems appropriate on Thanksgiving weekend to tell you all: thank you. Your support makes a huge difference and it means so much to me. You’re wonderful.

Happy Pride you gorgeous creatures.

When they asked me to adorn their window for pride, I was delighted. When the subject requested was "unicorns and rainbows" I smiled myself silly. So much fun working on this.

Spray Paint workshop at The Door Youth Centre

Thanks to the fine folks at Maker House, I had the chance to go hang out at The Door, a youth drop in centre here in Ottawa. What better way to spend the day than getting into paints that spray.  

HAY speaking of. I'm thinking of adding a single shot perk on here where if folks would like, they can just sponsor a workshop like this one. Thoughts?

How to Curly Hair. A Very Legit Beauty Tutorial.

I am now a beauty guru. Let it be known. Soon I will begin a lifestyle vlog and do "haul" videos. Until then, I will spend four times as much money on conditioner as I do on shampoo. Please feel free to follow this tutorial religiously and receive similarly lukewarm results.

Heeheeheeeheeeeee

Oh me? Just over here giggling to myself while I work on a little comic. Will be posting it here first for patrons before it hits the socials because I love you.

Ps. I’m a beauty guru now, just ready yourselves.

August Sketchbox!

It took two tries to shoot this one. Leo had OPINIONS and he will not be deterred. Lovely pencil crayon box this month with all kinds of goody goodness. You gorgeous patrons get a little early look before it hits the socials and vid goes public because after all, you are just that special.

Also: beware the cuteness of micro pigs. I am confident they are plotting our demise.

Since the patrons only comic was a ridiculous portrait of Shawn, it seems only fair to follow up with my own.

I can’t be trusted you guys.
