The Curtain Falls also got two new pages this month! This is a 50 page Lupin III fancomic, where Lupin is now in his 60s and has to come to terms with the fact that nothing lasts forever. Is he ready to retire?

SNEAK PEEK for you newsletter readers

Max and I are working on a new webcomic pilot!!! This’ll be a 12 page test to try out how we’d like the comic itself to look and feel but three pages are available RIGHT NOW on Patreon and my VIP Blog

January’s Sketchbook

This month’s sketchbook is up for the Grab Bag tier on Patreon and my VIP Blog

The first sketchbook of the year and I’m off to a good start, with a bunch of fun concept art, some Lupin prompts, good shoutout requests and some silly doodles!

Commissions

I’m currently open for commissions and trying out using Ko-fi to process those for me. If you’ve ever wanted some custom art from me, now’s the time! I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to have them open for this year.

Grab one here!

Photography Corner

 

So for the last 2 years I started getting into film photography and thought I’d finally start posting some of those online. This is a just for fun hobby and I’m going to try really hard not to stress about scheduling posts and such.

You can see the other 9 photos over here – and maybe I’ll post them on tumblr or other places as well, we’ll see!

Cool Comics

I thought I’d try something new this year with a comic recommendation every month! I’ll be putting links to these comics in my blog’s side bar too.

Lies Within, by Lacey

Lacey is a good friend of mine but I’m not starting with Lies Within because of that, I’m starting with Lies Within because you NEED to read it. It’s fun, it’s witty, it’s modern and supernatural. I won’t say too much because I don’t want to give too much away but go read it you won’t regret it!

Ladies of Lupin Zine

I thought I’d posted this already but didn’t! Max and I did a 4 page gay Fujiko comic for the Ladies of Lupin zine which you can still order here: https://ladiesoflupiniii.bigcartel.com/

Profits from this project will be donated to National Network of Abortion Funds

 

Other things

I finally did a small rebrand, changing up my display picture and banner for the first time since 2025. I have a small moustache now after all!

Max and I have applied for a few conventions already; TCAF (Toronto, June 7-8, 2025), Citrus Con (Remote, June 20 – June 22), NIF (Remote, May 2025) and will be applying for Dashcon 2 tomorrow. I’ll be sure to let y’all know if we get in to these!

Max and I will have a garage sale booth at Nerd Market 5 on February 23rd from 12pm-4pm

Hope y’all are staying safe out there
