Public August Art

I try and post fun public art every Fridays, usually fanart! I post them over on tumblr, mastodon, cohost, pillowfort, bluesky and jpawlik.com/blog with sketches and thumbnails up early for patrons and VIP members!

Webcomic Updates

Something a bit different, Max and I were invited to this anthology back in 2021 Queer Compassion in 15 Comics and now that the book is out, we’re finally able to share what we did for it! We’re both very proud of it.

Our comic was 8 pages so I’ll be scheduling one per week on Tuesdays to give us a bit of a buffer so we can get some new Darumaka comics ready for y’all!

Three pages are up so far to read for free! If you want early access to pages, sketches and thumbs check out my Patreon or my VIP Blog.

Read from the beginning

For Patrons and VIP members, I just finished posting all 5 pages of the comic Max and I did for the Mon Marie zine. It’s not quite NSFW but has implications and is a bit more mature. I also popped our extra copies up in the Topaz Shop if you’re interested.

August’s Sketchbook

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

A mixture of digital and traditional pages this time around due to being without my physical sketchbook for a minute. Lots of concept art in this one, a bunch of silly doodles, studies and of course some great shoutout requests!

Swim On

Swim On 10 is still for sale, and this last volume features 149 illustrations by 134 artists. All proceeds go towards finfree.org

Grab that and all the previous volumes here

Other things

Still working away on my NDA game project and should be wrapping up in September. I have really enjoyed my time working on a video game so I may pursue more of this work going forward!

I bought an old 1994 Pentax film camera and have been having such a good time getting into photography as a hobby. I’ve been wanting a hobby that I can’t monetize and that doesn’t involve drawing in any way. There’s a local camera club near me so I may also join that soon. Maybe I’ll post some photos online too!

My goal after September is to really dive back in to personal work for the remainder of the year. I have so much I want to work on but just don’t have the time yet!

If you’re a Lupin fan, also check out the Lupin Forum I’m hosting weekly art prompts over there, so come draw with us!
