I got married to Max 3 years ago today and never shared photos?!
I did write a comic about it though…
Go read that maybe?~ https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/i-got-married-jey-pawlik/ (it’s SFW)
I also just posted a behind the scenes of this comic on my Patreon if you’re interested too 👀
A comic from 2016 that I never actually posted. This was for an Alphyne zine back in the day but I don’t believe it ever actually came to fruition as happens with many zine projects. It’s always frustrating when I finish a full piece or comic for it too!
Well, I got this comic out of it and I might as well post this decade old comic now. Better late than never!
I do still love these two very much.
May was such a month?! I had so many deadlines and projects and NIF and phew~ I’m glad it’s almost June!

Announcement for August (IMPORTANT!!)
I wanted to give everyone a lot of notice but I’ll be taking August completely off this year!
I’ve been so darn busy with freelance work, which is great, but I haven’t had a break and have run out of my comics and personal art buffer. So I’ve decided to not post ANYTHING in August: no comics on Topaz, no OJST, no sketchbook, and no Friday public art. I’ll be putting my Patreon on break for August, so Patrons won’t be charged for that month. This’ll be the first time I’ve ever paused my Patreon since I opened it in 2017.
Then I plan to come back in September stronger than ever (hopefully!) I hope you’ll look forward to what I’ve got coming up~
~~~

Cool Comic Recommendation
Wychwood by Ally Rom Colthoff (varethane)
Do you like aliens? Do you like magic? Do you like semi-post apocalyptic stories set in Toronto (I know you do because you’ve read Dead City~). Then you’ll love Wychwood! Made by a friend and past coworker of mine, and another comic trying to move away from Hiveworks, go give Wychwood a read. The art is beautiful and the characters are so much fun!
~~~
Other Things
I’ll be volunteering at the Cartoonists United booth at TCAF intermittently throughout June 6th and 7th. I’ll have just a handful of books on me. We’ll be at booth 139 on the hockey rink.
My websites have been having some server issues and I’m slooooowly working on transferring all my website stuff away from my current webhost Bluehost (they’re bad. don’t use them) to a Canadian webhost. So websites, emails, and RSS might go down when I do the big transfer. I’ll try and do it on a weekend so it doesn’t affect my Mon-Fri work email or comic updates.
~~~
We made it through! See you next month and HAPPY PRIDE~!!!
Some more birds I saw during the summer of 2024! Double-bill of gulls, and Max’s favourite duck!
After chatting with my students this semester I was inspired to redraw & re-letter my “Ins and Outs of Webcomics” comic.
A 9 page Scott McCloud-style narrative for those looking for comics-related reading material, how-to guides, or an introduction to webcomics!
This comic was produced with the support of the City of Toronto through the Toronto Arts Council and the Canada Comics Open Library.
You can download the 2020 version here for free or if you want a PDF or physical copy of this version check out my online shop or my itchio!
I’ve been playing a lot of Pokopia and wanted to share some doodles I’ve done!
Wanna see the sketches for these? Check ’em out on Patreon for free!
Sometimes I draw fanart that isn’t Lupin.
A friend streamed/is streaming all the Resident Evil games that feature Leon for my group chat and I fell for this goober.
I worked on this while said friend was streaming the RE2 remake and I had an extremely good time!
Check out the Trello board for slot info, current queue, and other commission examples
All patrons get early access and priority to open slots
Be sure to give me your patreon username so I know to give you priority!
I made a cool new form on my website and I’m really excited to try it out, I really wanted to move away from Kofi because they’re so against NSFW pieces and I wanted more control over accepting commissions.
If you’re interested, terms are as follows:
- Pieces are 6×9″ at 400dpi
- Prices are in USD
- I will send you an invoice after we’ve confirmed the commission
- Payment is needed upfront, but payment plans are accepted
- Delivery time: 2-3 weeks
- Limit to 2 free revisions per commission (eg. changing the pose, redrawing the expression)
- New character designs include 2 sketch pages of designs to be sent for your approval before moving on to final illustration
- If you’d like a character design turn-around please email me instead
Will draw: Your OCs, my OCs, fanart, furries, anthros, animals, detailed backgrounds, fat characters, nsfw
Won’t draw: Robots/mecha, gore, hate towards any group (eg. racism, homophobia), pedophilia, incest, OCs that do not belong to you, myself
Art examples can be found at jpawlik.com and jpawlik.com/blog
I will post commissions on my portfolio, blog, Patreon, and social media sites unless asked otherwise. I will never sell prints of the commission.
As a customer you are getting a piece of art and are not allowed to sell, submit to an AI dataset, or alter the piece after you receive it. You may print the piece for personal use and post on your social media accounts with credit, I just ask that you tag me in the post. All pieces are for personal reasons only.
I have the right to refuse any commission I receive.
You may only receive a full refund if you have not yet received any art from me within 60 days. No other refunds will be given unless I refuse the commission.
~~~
I want to draw stuff for you! Always happy to draw folks’ OCs, TTRPG characters, ships, more Jigen/Zenigata, whatever you’ve got!
Shoutout Requests from my Private Collector crew on Patreon! I’m glad folks liked my Yzma in the Disney Villains game, ohhh and did you see this caterpillar?!
I’m opening commissions soon and if anyone really wanted a character in the Cursed Cafe style, while I don’t have that in my normal menu you are always welcome to email me the deets.
It’s also the beginning of the month which is the best time to join us over on Patreon if you’re interested in a doodle like this. You’ll also get access to my entire archive of either SFW ($5) or NSFW ($10) art, comics, and over 100 sketchbook PDFS?! Wow!
Somehow April was the fastest month ever? It went by in a blink of an eye! Regardless, I got a lot done and here are some comic updates for y’all~

Cool Comic Recommendation
Ghost Junk Sickness by studioCARTRIDGE
Ghost Junk Sickness takes place in a galaxy far from our own. A majority of the story happens on the planet struck by the catastrophe 5 years ago, June7. It’s a post-apocalyptic world on the struggle to recovery, covered with outlaws and bounty hunters who’ve claimed it as their own.
A really long and really wonderful comic by another duo and this comic JUST wrapped up THIS MONTH (like 5 days ago)!!! Now is the absolute best time to go through and read the entire comic.
~~~
Other Things
I was asked to do more children’s book work, I’m working on this month’s regular OJST comic, I’m working on an extra OJST comic for the pledge drive in June, I’m in another Lupin zine, AND I’m heading the NIF promo committee all this month.
Things might be tight for a minute.
~~~
We’ll make it through!
