Public October Art
I post something publicly every Friday (and sometimes extras) and these can be seen & shared on my various socials: tumblr, twitter, mastodon, cohost, pillowfort, bluesky and jpawlik.com/blog with sketches and thumbnails up early for patrons and for free members 2 months later.
My Ghost Files piece appeared on the Ghost Files Debrief on October 27th and that was super cool!
Webcomic Updates
I finished posting my 7 page comic “Loom”. This is a silent comic written by Clark Moreau for the Twisting Time Anthology.
Now that Loom is complete, I’m posting a short Lupin III comic that Michelle and I did for the fanzine “Between Heists” collection. Two pages are up already and there’s two more to go, updates Tuesdays at 12pmEST
The Grab Bag tier on Patreon got a few more pages of my Lupin III fancomic “The Curtain Falls”, a comic about Lupin in his 60s. Pages go up when I finish them but it’s usually every other Wednesday.
The Private Collector tier on Patreon also got another “After All” page, a NSFW Jigen/Zenigata comic written by Michelle. It’s heatin’ up in here!
October’s Sketchbook
This month’s sketchbook is HERE for the Grab Bag tier on Patreon
October’s sketchbook is pretty big this month at a whopping 30 pages! I’m only now coming back up to my full art potential after hurting my wrist last year. This month’s PDF includes a work life drawing session, lots of Makas in Halloween costumes, and some item concepts for a new original comic Michelle and I have been brainstorming! Plus, of course, some very good shoutout requests from my Private Collector folks!
MCX 2023
The Mississauga Comic Expo is BACK and happening on November 19th this year at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga! It’s free to enter, and Michelle and I will be there as Topaz Comics with all our books and wares!
I’ll be doing a sketch challenge in the theatre at 11am, and then my newest talk “Creating Comic Anthologies and Fanzines” at 1:30pm in the same theatre! Come visit us (booth number TBA)
Other things
– November 5th is my birthday! 33 babeeeeey
– I started HRT after years of debating. Comics are in the works!
– I recovered from covid and it doesn’t look like there’s been any long term side effects for me. I was pretty worried and anxious about that.

Talk to y’all again at the end of November!
