Allergies

I've been living in a concrete jungle for so long I forgot I'm allergic to all the growy things :')

Doodleboat Cove - Mister Dee

I'm not sure how much we'll see of "Mister Dee" in the story, but it's very fun to write these characters interacting. It was also fun to brainstorm a bit more about how a 'Solarpunk Education' would play out in reality.

Mister Dee is a "travelling pedagogist" - he visits the youngest children that live in a few outer settlements (maybe 20 max), rotating between their houses throughout t...

Doodleboat Cove... Zeph's Delivery

hi everyone, I've reached an important milestone in the development of Skuttleboat Cove! The characters have started talking to me, finally :) This might sound a little crazy if you're not a writer, but to me when the characters just start popping into my head with their own spontaneous scenes, I consider it a wonderful milestone in a story's maturity :)

I'm trying to jot them down...

Fanart Requests - 2024!

Hey hey everyone it's that time again - once every year I host a Patron-exclusive request event and it's now! ^0^

This year I'm feeling a bit of an underdog vibe, if I'm being honest. What if we had a webcomics round? :) The pair above are Tre and Olly from EK Weaver's Shot and Chaser! I frickin' love EK's work. Right now t...

Gym Comix 2

More comix from the gym, it's always nice to have experts to help you confirm what is real. (Hypermobility is obviously real, just not for me.)

Other people have completely different training and experience from engineering! That's nice, I think. Considering we all have bodies we need to live in.

Welcome to Skuttleboat Cove!

I finished this new title graphic for the project! I'm so excited about it, the characters look so cute.

(Aspen and Zephyr)

I also finished a bunch of little illustrations that I want to use to make nicer headers around Patreon.

February Patreon Round-Up

March be upon ye! Have you started your seedlings? I wanted to celebrate hydroponics in this illustration but I haven't planted a single thing yet :x. I do get a real garden plot this year though and I'm so excited for the potential of digging in dirt again!

Attached are three desktop wallpapers, for this month and the two previous months because I needed to get caught up...

gym comix

I've been attending a Serious Powerlifting Gym since mid 2022. It's kind of a funny gym because it was designed for Very Serious lifters - they train olympic hopefuls there. But they realized that their actual clientele were people who hated the gym. 

I'm glad they put up with my nonsense.

Bonus Header from January

Hi everyone, I couldn't quite get this together to finish it in January but I wanted to share this extra little header from the series that I finished to represent January. 

Cuddled up in stormy weather! I really wanted to highlight this calm that comes when you're prepared and resilient. "Preparedness" has this really edgy hardcore vibe to it sometimes, but that's not how it is in p...

Hi everyone, here's the private half of this recap post :)

Happy New Year! I hope you're enjoying all that fresh-start energy while still hibernating and eating copious amounts of jellybeans that you just found today at the end of your stocking (just me?)

So, what can you all look forward to...

A Jammy Year in Review (2023)

Hi everyone, this is a public post! 

I wanted to take a moment to briefly share what I've been up to in 2023. This year I launched the Career Zine, a 16-page comic that discusses the things you should consider when selecting, changing or leaving a job. That's up on my Ko-Fi right now. It will be launching public s...

Comics from the StressedSide

Helloooo, everynyan. Here are some more comics while I figure out my computer. Over the last few days I finally got my cloud backup properly reconfigured, and then I set to work optimizing Windows 11 and reinstalling all my software. I got my tablet reconnected and all the drivers working! Yippee! And then I installed my shortcut remote and it broke again. D'oh!

Oceania - One Good Thing

Hi everyone, I'm back!!! I had an amazing time on my travels and many tales to tell, but for now I will just summarize it with my One Good Thing spread. Kinda funny that the bottom right of both this and South Africa ended up being a pretzel? They were pretty different pretzels though.
