Hello friends!
Let’s make something together! Recently, several members of our Discord community (including me!!) talked about missing the experience of participating in a choir or other musical group. While we can’t sing together in person, the power of the Internet will allow us to create a Patron Holiday Carol! For this project, I have selected the classic “Jingle Bells.” I hav...

Lambert House is a support nonprofit for queer and questioning youth. They were headquartered in Seattle until the building owner unexpectedly sold it to a developer. They've been trying to ra...

It feels like the day to say it, but I also think it's worth saying every day — thank you, specifically you, Patron who is reading this, a person who went out of your way one day (maybe a long time ago, maybe recently) to pledge some of your hard-earned money to support my work.
I am SO thankful for every single one of you who not only makes my work possible with your dollars, but also ...

This week’s Patron spotlight is a creative writer and musician after my own heart, Scott Maitland! By day, Scott writes and produces radio commercials in Alberta, Canada. By night, he continues his IRL-bardic persona with musical parodies, audiobook fanfiction, and playing D&D in a castle.

Some very not-early access to today's YouTube video!! (Sorry everyone... I've been falling behind on my schedule lately! Hopefully we'll be back to videos being "a few days" early access soon.)

They are finally complete: All the pin-ups for the Natural 2021 calendar!! We're sending the calendar to print tonight. These are just my cut-outs, so I've just thrown contrasting colors behind them — the final versions in the calendar may be on different colors, and will have some drop shadows and paint strokes.
Which one is your favorite? When I was just looking at photo raws, my favs...

What's so funny about this one is that based on how I felt and looked in the mirror, this was maybe my least favorite look from the calendar — but now it's one of my favorite pin-ups!! It has so much motion. Just wanted to share it! We're finalizing the calendar interiors this week.

So last night I just noodled around in Audition to see how I felt about an idea I had. It's called "Carol of the Spells" and it's basically just Carol of the Bells, rewritten entirely with D&D spells.

Sorry for the week of silence — I had theee long sewing days, a long day of shooting, and then yesterday I spent fourteen consecutive hours editing video, BUT IT’S DONE!! You’ll get to see this project on Nov 2, unless the client hates it and fires and me/or tells me to start over 😂

Unfortunately I had gotten up early that day to put in some hours on my current costume project (the one t...

It's been a while since I've done a regular ol' "talking to the camera" video!! In this one, I talk about how to learn to be a more generous roleplayer at your gaming table. Big thanks to the Patrons who chatted with me about their experiences with selfish roleplayers (or being selfish roleplayers!) at their own tables.
