Public April Art

I try and post fun public art every Friday around 11am. These can be seen & shared over on tumblr, mastodon, cohost, pillowfort, bluesky and jpawlik.com/blog with sketches and thumbnails up early for patrons, VIP members, and kofi members!

Webcomic Updates

Three new Alola Darumaka pages up this month! And if you want early access to pages, sketches and thumbs check out my Patreon, Kofi, or VIP Blog.

I posted another HRT diary comic this month, we’re on page 6 now! I’m making these pages as changes happen, but I do post them early on Patreon, Kofi, and my VIP Blog, then up 2 months later for free on Topaz Comics.

Two new pages of After All went up for my Private Collector tier! This is a NSFW Jigen/Zenigata comic written by Max and we’re getting to the climax!

A new page of The Curtain Falls went up this month! This is a Lupin III fancomic I’m working that focuses on Lupin in his 60s and dealing with change and retirement. We’re doing some reflecting now!

April’s Sketchbook

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

Another month, another sketchbook! This one is nearly 30 pages and it’s full of a lot of fun doodles and concept art. I’ve been having fun doing messy doodles and sketches again, it feels like it’s been a while but they feel nice for exploring concepts I’d like to flesh out. There’s also Lupin weekly art prompts from the Lupin forum, lots of birds I saw this month, and fun shoutout requests.

TCAF

While I won’t be boothing at TCAF this year I will be wandering around as an attendee AND I’ll be on a panel called “Toronto As a Setting” – it’ll be at 10am on Saturday, May 13th in the Learning Centre (1st floor). I may bring some Dead City books with me, since that’s what I’ll be talking about.

Other things

Busy busy busy with my fulltime contract on a video game still and making really great progress. I cannot wait to share what I’ve been working on with y’all!

While working in video games now I’ve been itching to play some new ones, there’s a few on my radar that’ll be coming out this year which I’m excited about: Yolk Heroes, World of Anterra, and Fantasy Life 2. In the mean time I started playing Final Fantasy 1 which is an absolute delight? I’ve only ever played FF4 and FF6 before. Maybe I’ll draw my party at some point.

I’ve been hosting weekly art prompts over on the Lupin Forum and it’s been a lot of fun to be in a space that isn’t owned by a mega corp.

April down, tune in at the end of May for the next newsletter!
