august drip
streetwear appreciation, hurricane reportback & steamy sneak peek at a comic dropping next month
hello & happy giant blue moon to those of you who observed <3
big changes on the freelance side of things, as I’ve relaunched my patreon with lowered prices! I feel like everyone I know is getting destroyed by inflation, and wanted to make things more accessible to more people. I even did new lil’ drawings~
DAY subs ($1 USD) will see all of my sketches and have early access to public posts. for example, here’s little crops of some of this month’s sketch drop:
DUSK subs ($3 USD) will have all that AND diary comics, speedpaints, process works, and behind-the-scenes looks at all my graphic novel work from the publishing process, to concept art, sneak peeks & more. some examples:
AFTER DARK (aka, the sexy tier) subs ($6 USD) get all that too, and is the ONLY home for all my nsfw work comprising of animations, illustrations & studies. I won’t post previews here of that here, lol
BUT I’m wrapping a mini-comic up that patrons helped me choose the theme of: it’s a camgirl who summons a demon to pay her rent, and will also be released digitally next month. here be the stars:
so stay tuned ;)
the world of books is tough to make a living out of, so any support on the side goes a long way. <3 sign up for any of these tiers HERE
as for the rest:
the hurricane headed for Los Ángeles turned out to be no stronger than an east coast summer storm, but heart’s out to those in Mexico who got hit, and everyone in the gulf coast preparing for the extreme weather to come.
my mom sent a care package full of her garden vegetables, and we just stayed inside making food out of it <3
speaking of food:
COOK LIKE YOUR ANCESTORS is officially available for pre-order through local stores thanks to distribution with Lunar & Diamond. You can order a copy to your local bookstore through indiebound, or of course directly to you through Silver Sprocket.
so many cool things to come that I’m just sitting on, but I made some really dope stickers, have postcards on the way, and am planning a giveaway with a whole lot of cool prizes.
I’m also honored to be hosted for a release party and book signing come release time mid-November… more details to come on that down the line!
I realize that august is a pretty historically powerful month. the day of the 28th in particular is wild, and marks the anniversary of:
the March on Washington
Marsha P Johnson's birth
Negro Matapacos's passing (que descanse en paz, amorcito…)
the outlawing of the transatlantic slave trade in Britain
the murder of Emmett Till
Regan getting shot
"Let's get it on" released by Marvin Gaye
the fall of the Western Roman empire
let this usher in some good changes, inspiration, and reflection.
see ya in the next drop~
