Some commissions I did for patrons this past week. Thanks, guys! <3
I have to close these for now to focus on some big (and exciting!) projects but I'll probably need some help later in October with Salad and Breakkie's spays + shots, so I'm sure I'll take some more!
Happy Labor-dor day!!! You know, I have a very special memory of getting my knee bit to shit by a lab while working on labor day. She didn't mean it though, she was just trying to kill a different dog and felt pretty bad when she redirected to me as I broke them up.
This is a special two page spread!! Because I've met many a lab. I actually drew the three different labs as my very first dog breed guide, mostly because every chocolate lab I've met so far sees thru time... past present a...
Poor little Sammy had to go to the vet for crusty eyes this morning!! :( So I drew some dumb pictures to cheer myself up.
Thanks for being a patron here!! It feels so reassuring to know I can go to the vet when I need to and afford medicine when I need to. I really appreciate you guys pledging so that I can do things like that!! I know I sound like a broken record, but thank you!! <3

GOOD MONDAY M'GARFIELDS!
Will you join my "KOMONDORS AREN'T REAL" conspiracy facebook group? There's a lot of research out there if you ignore all the FAKE NEWS!
also PLEASE look at the photo I used as a reference.
It's everything to me right now.
Zee comics.... Zey write zemselves, no?
RIP to hoarder cat shed...
Some commissions I took under da table to settle my cat debts... Except for the little painting, that was a gift for a vet tech who's been SO nice and accommodating with helping me get appointments for a plethora of cats...🥰
I've spent nearly 5k on vet bills in 2021, and it's been ruff!! 😬
So if you're reading this, THANK YOU FOR BEING A PATRON!! 🎉 You seriously have helped me more than you can imagine and saved so many kitty lives!! I could not be doing this without y'all....
HAPPY MONDAY TO YOU ALL!! Here's this week's perfect specimen. I don't know that I've ever met one of these good girls, but I was SUPER excited to get to draw one.
And thank you to the person who requested this breed back when I first made my patreon, and described them as having Big Himbo Energy. Because it's literally never left my mind. So it is the first bullet point!
Hope y'all had a groovy weekend! Got some good art to share with ya this week! Thank you for being a patron <...
HAPPY MONDAY!! WOW!! Thank you for 666 patrons!!! I'm going to cry!! An evil cry!
Here's a devious young man for you on this monumental Monday. I only knew one of these guys, Reuben... He liked to piss while he walked, especially when we brought the dogs inside, and I'd just follow him with a mop mopping up his trail. Hence the piss machine shout out.
Hopefully lots more art this week!! Salad is being very needy since her babies passed, which I totally get. But she constantly wa...
EDIT: hey guys! Sad email incoming and I am sorry! Since I drew this, Lunch Special crashed and her heart stopped very suddenly. She most likely had a heart defect, like her siblings who also had deformities. I’m hoping Breakfast will make it, he’s always been the strongest! But at this point, who knows. And I’m also thinking of renaming him Sandwich… cause he’s so inbred. I’m trying my best to stay strong. I wish Salad could’ve had a better start in life, I feel so awful for he...

Ahhh, Monday once again. And Mondays are for da dogs!!
As with any lumbering, fluffy breed reminiscent of some sort of bear, I love them. We had one at work named Alpine and he was #1 on my list of dogs with the worst buttholes. I may have wanted to elaborate on that back then, but I'm a different person now. Please respect my privacy. (it was so terrible)
I also cannot see this breed without thinking of a screenshot I saw of a tinder profile where this illiterate fellow explain...

OUUGHHH SO. HARD. TO PICK!!!
Tried to go with whatever got the most votes but hoo geeze, every animal is my favorite!! I had a lot of fun with these though, I hope you guys enjoy them!! Thank you for being a patron!!! :D
New month, new Monday, new dog breed!! What more couldya want? Thanks for stickin' with my Patreon another month, I appreciate you all so much!! <3
Man, I love these big doofuses. We had a Dane at work named Blue (depicted on a little chair above of course) who was easily in my top ten dogs I ever done did meet. I was just the right amount of short and she was just the right amount of tall that she would randomly walk between my legs and just, start giving me a ride. A mighty steed ...
It's a dugesia kinda day....What can I say, I'm a planaria person... Up to my annelid antics once again....

I'm finally ready to share my most traumatic work memory in comic format.... Please be gentle... its still.... so hard to talk about........
Also, it's always so hard to choose an animal for 'antagonist' characters in these?! I think people assume I choose certain animals for people cause I don't like them, but every animal is amazing! I can't just use a mosquito every time!! I wanted to make her an opossum cause thats what felt right for her cookie monster pajama pants woman vibes...
Mmphf, nothing like that sweet Monday air, my Garfields!! Suck it in!!
Now, I've met countless Golden Retrievers, and I mean countless. And like all dog breeds, they're all unique individuals, so writing a set of characteristics can be a daunting task, riddled with uncertainties.
But one thing I do know is that each and every one of them would look absolutely excellent with a tiny cowboy hat on.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Whew! It's been a while, huh? What a crazy month!
Let's get back into the swing of things with something fun and easy!!
I want to draw your favorite animal!!! 🦆
So lay 'em on me!! Who's your unproblematic fav? This will be the 2nd time we've done this prompt, so if you wanna see the favs I chose last time, 2021-07-25 17:10:04 +0000 UTC View Post
So, I've recently been adopted by a sick, pregnant stray. I had no intention of ever getting another cat after Goop, but a month after he passed away she mysteriously showed up asking for help! This is about how I think it went down. It's a very factual recounting.
So she's my kitty now, and she's due in a few weeks! I decided to reveal her name with a comic, so you guys are the first to know! Introducing Salad P.! :3
She came from a hoarder situation in this terrible shed next ...
I was looking thru my sketchbook I have reserved for only making bad drawings in, and realized when I redrew this chicken a few months ago, I only did the punchline and not the anticipation!! Which I just feel makes it so much spicier, so I had to go back and rectify my wrongs.
(Bad drawings also included! 20% more free art!!)

Ahh... The sweet smell of Monday. Are you smelling it, my Garfields?
I've met quite a few of these good girls, I've never met a mean or vicious one, but my god they all have anxiety that would put me in 7th grade to shame. Ner..vo..us...
My dad owned a white German Shepherd before I was born... He liked to tell me a story about how he pranced up to a bunch of people playing basketball and took the ball in his mouth and popped it with one bite. So strong!!!
Also, I wanted ...
I meant to draw this yesterday but.... I got distracted feeding dumpster cats...... 😔
Shouts outs to my fellow procrastinators!! Remember writing a 6 page essay with MLA formatted sources in 1.5 hours because you were lost in the sauce??? Good times....

Always fun to draw with no particular idea in mind! I like those funny little staffordshire dog figurines grandmas always seem to have. Here they are having a gentlemen's agreement.
I added a watercolor background.. so here's both versions!!
It's Monday again already?! What the heck, my Garfields!! Time is an illusion!
Here's this drooly young miss!
Every Mastiff I've met has had a point in their life where they've refused to eat unless some form of cheese was added to their meals. For Gabby it was cottage cheese, which made my job so disgusting, but I have to respect the game. Fanny however preferred parmesan, which is much more manageable. As for Karma? Shredded cheese from the bag, which I don't think any of us has...
It's my personal understanding that if you are offered one free drawing of a Frog Elsa and wordlessly reject it, some higher being somewhere will curse you and your family line for eternity.
So here's one for good luck!
Here are your sketches finally!!! :> I actually haven't watched/read exactly half of these, but I did my best, and that's what counts!
Thank you for waiting, and participatin'!!!
Happy Monday my Garfields! Feels good to be back in the swing of things.
I looove this breed, Dobies are so cute and goofy! If owned by the right people of course.
I think my favorite Doberman from my dog job was Coco, she was huge but SO SO timid, so much so she had to be placed in the small dog yard because she would get too scared in medium or big. So there'd just be a flock of tiny Chihuahuas and Shihtzus swirling around the massive Coco. Later her owners adopted a big mixed br...
