February’s weekly prompts from lupiniii.club which I host a new prompt every Monday for everyone to join in on! February’s prompts were: Goemon making horse art, celebrating Lupin for his birthday, selling the treasure on eBay, and trouble at the airport ticket counter.
Max and I from our 2023 honeymoon. We saw a family of minks on the dock but the camera autofocused on the wrong thing!!!! DEVASTATED!

I did this back in 2022: https://jpawlik.com/blog/01/20/8470/
I had a good time recording what I’d read, watched, etc. but 2024 just got too busy to finish it all! I didn’t want to not post the art I did do however.

This’ll be my second year helming the weekly prompts over on lupiniii.club and it’s been so much fun! Here’s the ones I drew up for January: a married couple disguise, Jigen is very particular about his shampoo, audience participation, and Lupin tells the waiter it’s Jigen’s birthday when it isn’t.
A Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou inspired Legend of Zelda comic study, I’m trying really hard to get better with halftones!

Cool Comic Recommendation
If you’ve read EK’s previous work TJ & Amal, which is one of my all time favourites and I also highly recommend, you’ll want to check this one out. It’s absolutely gorgeous, heartbreaking, sweet, and very real. The story follows Tre, a photographer, and Olly, a storm chaser, as they hop in Olly’s old station wagon to follow a storm during the pandemic and dealing with the world crumbling around them. EK’s characters always feel so real, like I could just bump into them in real life.
CW: Contains sensitive and heavy content
Lupin Zine Preorder Extravaganza
Three Lupin zines I’ve been working on have preorders for physical copies open AND digital copies are available right now! More details can be found in here, but I am so stoked to get these books out into the world. The three of us worked really hard on our pinup zine Things Exchanged, and Max and I couldn’t be happier with how After All These Years turned out. I hope you’ll read them.
