August comes to a close and so does the summer and possibly my super busy days are over and done!

Public August Art

This month’s public art! I try my darndest to post something publicly every Friday – and all patrons get to see these like a month early! All of these can be seen & shared on my various socials: tumblr, twitter, mastodon, cohost, pillowfort, bluesky and jpawlik.com/blog!

OJST: B.J Dildo 2.0

This month’s OJST is a review for a toy that was graciously sent to me to try out! This is a NSFW review and includes depictions of dildos, nudity, and sexual content. I was super excited to try this one out and while it wasn’t exactly how I’d imagined it, it was still a pretty swell toy to use. I’d seen so many good reviews on this toy from other trans and nonbinary folks, but I’m starting to think I’m the outlier here.

Swim On Vol. 9 is live!

My 9th Swim On went up earlier this month and you can grab it for $1+ over at https://topazcomics.com/swimon/downloads/
All proceeds this and all previous volumes makes goes directly to finfree.org and the conservation of sharks!

Webcomic Updates
 

I’ve been posting my 7 page comic “Loom” once a week until it’s complete. This is a silent comic written by Clark Moreau for the Twisting Time Anthology. I’m so incredibly proud of the research and backgrounds I did for this comic.

Read the first page here

$1+ patrons got 1 month early webcomic updates, currently they’re getting the comic Michelle and I did for “Between Heists” a Lupin fanzine.

After All, the JigZeni NSFW comic for $10 patrons, will start back up again starting September 14th. The Curtain Falls will also be back on September 13th for $5+ patrons!

August’s Sketchbook

This month’s sketchbook is HERE for the Grab Bag tier on Patreon

August’s sketchbook is here! 22 pages this time with mostly for fun doodles and sketches with some sketches I’d really like to clean up and tone down the line. Also some really good shoutout requests from $10 tier folks, thank you for your requests I always really enjoy doing those! Columbo was quite fun to draw. A little sneak peak as well for another Lupin zine Michelle and I will be in~

Other things

– I’m going to see about opening commissions again in October, I just have to catch up on my personal projects first.
– I’ve got a bluesky account now, and I’ll be posting my art there as well as all my other places. I still like tumblr the best for now.
– NDA work is going well, busy juggling two jobs at once but I’m really enjoying it.
– I’ve been playing a lot of Tears of the Kingdom in my down time and what a wonderful, dumb game!
– I finished reading all of the Nausicaa manga and while it was really impressive and Miyazaki has great panelling and pacing I do like the movie more. The manga is a bit pretentious, fairly gory and a bit of a bummer. I still think I’ll do a comic study on it however, so look out for that next month.

I think that about wraps it up for this month. Tune in at the end of September for the next newsletter. How’s this newsletter working? Does it work? Would you rather see things differently? It’s fun to figure out a new way to get info to folks.
