My Patreon will now be the hub for all my things - a journal of my creative process for upcoming projects, my blog and whatnot.
I urge you to become a member - even for free. Of course, all paid support will make things a lot easier, I confess. But everyone’s invited!

Being a freelancer artist is tough. Every freelancer knows this. I have to stay strong at all times, especially in the low periods, while being a neurodivergent person… but today in particular, I’m feeling especially tired. I feel knocked out.

Is it still play to use Substack? I loved the format, especially for my intention of keeping a blog-esque sort of place for my ideas and whatnots… couldn’t find anything close to it, and I see creative people are still engaging into it, despite those *issues* (yikes)

Hey folks,
This is titled after one of my favorite myths about an alleged ancient realm, the sort of thing I love seeing explored in the Hellboy comics. May I actually create a “Legends of Thule” story someday? Let’s see.
Join my Patreon for more details on this, and much more!

Hey again,
Just thought I could share a quick snap of the next piece I'll post here. It's another quasi-comics ètude, which I turned into a fake cover for an imaginary comic project of mine.
The process for this (and all of my next projects) are all on my Patreon - join now! Link is in my bio.

The flower crown (okay, not season appropriate at all but I still like this one! 😅). Gouache and watercolor on paper.

I made a process post on my blog back when I painted this one if you'd like to check it out: pigswithcrayons.com/illustration...
