Anyone else forget how to dress themselves?
The combination of change in weather and lack of practice has me seriously questioning if I can “dress up” my sloth onesie…
Happy Monday beautiful Patrons! Wether you’re decked out for the outdoors or snuggled in a slanket, I think you’re top notch.
Big love!

Beautiful Patrons!!
The shower thoughts thing is SO REAL. Also the 3am wake up?? The idea-while-unable-to-act-on-it WHY BRAIN WHY?
I love my mischievous magical utterly absurd brain but SHE LACKS TIMING. I try to make notes of any ideas immediately as I have them but there are still always ideas floating in the ether that might escape.
One of the reasons I adore live-streaming is that our community gets to come up with the silliest of doodleables together and my brain LOVES...

Beautiful Patrons.
Our Patrons-Only comic this month is a return from the lovingly-shouty Feetie Pyjama Brenda. Feetie Pyjama Brenda (FPB) appears when we need someone to rabidly advocate for our wellbeing and self care. She is aggressively loving. She also wears a plaid onesie at all times.
It is November which means that the holiday season is rapidly approaching. This can be a lovely celebratory time full of friends and family and traditions galore. It can also be REALLY h...

Happy weekend you magical Patrons!
Does anyone else feel like a TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSON is doing the grocery shopping sometimes?!?!
If I’ve had a meal, I can go grocery shopping like a TOTALLY REASONIBLE person. I can even get mostly the stuff I need! But if I’m hungry?? Chaos Goblin takes over and I come home with a 48 pack of pizza pockets, an entire box of cupcakes and twelve kinds of instant noodles.
I hope you’re having a beautiful weeken you wonderful folks. H...

Recently, one of our wonderful Patron fam sent me some Animal Crossing 3D printed miniatures so I could paint them on stream.
I LOVE IT and also I keep thinking if I get my nose THIS CLOSE to the mini I will surely be able to paint perfectly.
Spoiler: this is not in fact the case.
A reminder to stretch that meat Mech that your brain is driving around in and if you want to see me fail SPECTACULARLY at my own advice, come hang out on Twitch.tv/artinjest for the stream! Mond...

A wonderful friend of mine suggested making colouring pages from some of our designs and I wanted to share a few with the Patreon fam first. This pdf should all be printable on any old 8.5x11" paper. If you DO bring them to life with colour I would love to see the result and let me know if colouring pages is something you'd like me to drop here from time to time!
Be well wonderful friends, huge thank you for your support and happy colouring! <...

Okay okay okay SO a lot of folks know that I spent the month of October posting a story I made a couple years back over on Insta. It’s a little bit about how I became and artist and I posted it this year instead of doing a daily art challenge on Instagram. A big part of that was because I was just more excited about the prompt romp and drawing games we’ve been playing over on twitch!
Here’s the thing - I ...

Your wallpapers are here you marvellous folks! This month's designs came from the pure joy that is character creation during Twitch streams. After careful rumination, it was decided that my character alignment is Chaotic Wholesome. The Llamacorn, Ottercorn, and Slothicorn are all pure chaotic wholesome and they are here to share those vibes with you by way of desktop and phone wallpapers.

Lovely patrons.
I heard this concept of glass verses rubber balls and I find it so helpful. I know many of us - myself included - can fall in love with that feeling of having multiple things on the go, pokers in the fire, hustles to hustle, balls in the air. It’s exhilarating … until it isn’t.
That‘s the point that I find this concept so helpful and I wanted to share it. Unsure which balls are rubber and which are glass? As your community or someone who has your best inter...

Happy October and helloooooo fall. I love this time of year so much. You likely know by now, I watched the Fantastic Fungi documentary and I LOVE MUSHROOMS NOW. I went down a serious rabbit hold of incredible looking mushrooms and just had to draw some of my favourites.

Hello beautiful Patrons.
I wanted to try to wrap my head around this odd phenomenon for your Patrons-Only comic. These longer ones I only share with you are always such a lovely place to work out weird ways my brain functions and also find the funny in the oddest places.

Wonderfuls! October approaches and I'm thinking about art challenges.
For folks who haven't heard of it, Inktober is a really popular challenge where artists take a prompt list, and use one word each day to make an art piece every day for the month of October. It's a great way to build a more consistent creative practice and to do it with a community.
I've done Inktober a few times, and used the prompts to make a few kids books, 2021-09-04 12:01:02 +0000 UTC View Post

Hope you enjoy this longer comic for the Patreon fam only. I’ve been noticing this VERY weird phenomenon in yoga lately and I can’t decide if it’s cool or just like… a glitch in the matrix??

That said, I also use it to try to sort out my occasionally busy mind and I find...

Hello lovely Patrons,
Just wanted to share this little video here that went up on the YouTube channel. I had a pretty heavy week of drawing so I treated myself to a little Studio Ghibli fan art and I love how it turned out. There's something so comforting about making a piece from a movie or book you loved.
How do you relax your brain after a heavy week?
Be well wonderfuls,

Hello lovely Patrons!
Just wanted to share a little hint of the theme coming up for the August perks. I was inspired by Shark Week and thought they'd make a fantastic subject for some summer goodies.
DID YOU KNOW you can gift your perks? If there's a month that just makes you think of someone you love OR you know somebody who could use an artsy pick-me-up, send me a note before the first of the month and we can send your perks to them on your behalf. Spread the love friends!

Beautiful Patrons,
In Ontario where I live, the world is slowly reopening. It's a wonderful thing to see and feels like we were behind the curve in a lot of ways. As things slowing return to some semblance of normal, sometimes I'm overjoyed and other times I am so SO anxious.
It will take a while for the low frequency hum of worry to work its way through me. I can see plummeting case rates and feel overjoyed and still feel horror at the sight of a crowded bus. I'm remi...

If you're a Canadian Patron which I know a lot of you are they're now required to charge a %5 tax (except for QC where tax is already charged because reasons?)
