Public July 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
No Darumakas this month, instead I posted a 3 page Lupin one-shot based on a scene from Porco Rosso. If you want early access to pages, sketches and thumbs check out my Patreon or my VIP Blog.
Another HRT diary comic went up! These pages do go up early on Patreon and my VIP Blog, then up 2 months later for free on Topaz Comics.

After All wrapped up for Private Collector members, and what a doozy that comic was! It’s a NSFW Jigen/Zeni comic that Max wrote and I am so pleased with it! Go read the entire thing, and later this year I’ll be posting a PDF on my itchio and a printed version on our shop.

July’s Sketchbook
This month’s sketchbook is up for the Grab Bag tier on Patreon and my VIP Blog
Swim On 10: Blue Planet
The final volume of Swim On goes live on Friday @ 12pmEST
Check out the Swim On site on Friday to get the newest and final volume of my shark charity zine. This last volume features 149 illustrations by 134 artists, the biggest volume to date and I am so proud of it! It was a really big job this year so that’s taken up quite a bit of my time, but I hope you’ll support it when it’s out – all proceeds go towards finfree.org
Grab that and all the previous volumes here

Still working hard on my NDA video game contract and we’re nearing the end! Might be working on it into September, but I am so stoked to eventually finally tell you about all this secret art I’ve been doing. My art director is so incredible, Shel Kahn so go check our their work as well! The whole team is doing such a great job. I’ve been thinking of doing a slight career shift into video games proper after this and then do personal comics on the side – we will see!
I’ll be away for a week in August without internet and I am so ready to be away from social media for that time. Posts might be staggered a bit during that time since only some sites have schedule options/I only have so much time in a day to do art and make posts.
I’m hoping to do no freelance work from October to December to slowly catchup on all the personal work I so desperately want to do so just know the posts are coming!
Hey if you’re a comic artist go join the Cartoonist Coop that I’m on some committees for; including the Nib and Ink Fest, and webdesign!
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!

What a busy year so far but I was so determined to get my newsletter done and up on time! Tune in at the end of August for the next newsletter.
Some Makas and a Daven as I fiddle with some new brushes!
Some Yatas young and old (sketches for The Curtain Falls), and Zenigata with his fursona– I mean Lestrade from Sherlock Hound!
Have y’all read Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou yet? If not, you should! I’m in awe with how simple the art style is but how beautiful it is, so I thought I’d try my hand at something similar.
I also did some manga studies a little while ago for it, if that’s something you’re interested in reading.
May’s Lupin prompts that I’ve been doing and hosting at LupinIII.club! The prompts were: Jigen has to pretend to care about sports, Fujiko’s Alexa security, Goemon being good at video games (which I accidently drew twice), and anime con heist!
It’s the beginning of the month so here’s another shoutout request page! I’m always so down to draw a flustered Goemon, fun crossovers, y’all’s OCs, and other characters I’ve never drawn before.
These doodles are available every month for my Private Collector gang on Patreon & my VIP Blog! I draw them traditionally in my sketchbook every month and are like a mini sponsor shoutout if you will~
Happy Pride month everyone! Hope y’all are staying hydrated and wearing sunscreen.

I posted another HRT diary comic this month, and I’m 6 months in to taking T! Well, technically I’m 9 months now because these pages do go up early on Patreon and my VIP Blog, then up 2 months later for free on Topaz Comics.
Read from the beginning | Read the latest page
A new page of The Curtain Falls went up as well, this is a Lupin III fancomic I’m working that focuses on Lupin in his 60s and dealing with change and retirement. Yata has offended Lupin, what’ll happen now?!

Max and I have a comic in this bundle called “I Built You a Sex Machine”. When Betty finds out her wife Ursula has built her a sex machine she knows she has to put it to the test right away. But can the machine keep up with her insatiable sex drive? This is a 31 page comic about two older ladies figuring out how to be intimate with each other while both of them have wildly different libidos!

I’m working hard on my contract job with the NDA video game and it’s getting closer to the finish line now! My contract may be extended again but I’ll be on it until August for sure! It’s been so nice to be a part of a studio and I really love having Shel Kahn as my art director. The whole team is doing such a great job and I cannot wait to tell y’all about this game!
Progress is being made, slowly but surely, on my VIP Blog. This is my own site that will be my Patreon mirror, so in case Patreon ever goes down I have a back up. Prices are in Canadian if that’s an incentive at all, and you’ll only get one email per week about posts but I post pieces at the same time as Patreon. Right now I have to use Stripe as a payment processor, but they don’t technically allow for NSFW or tips so I’m trying to figure out ways around that like; as a $10 member you’ll be charged for a sketchbook PDF and shoutout request every month, BUT you’ll get access to my private blog that just so happens to have NSFW art in it. Hopefully I can make this work. It’s tough out there for NSFW artists right now.
I have officially caught up on weekly art prompts over on the Lupin Forum and will be posting those in batches on other sites soon. If you’re a Lupin fan, join us over on the forum and draw some prompts with me!
~~~
Y’know how I said I’d hoped June would be quieter than May? Well that didn’t happen but I’m happy with the work I put out this month anyway, even if I didn’t do as much fun art as I wanted to. Check back in July for another newsletter!
My weekly art prompt drawings that were for April but I only just finished catching up on. I’m hosting weekly Lupin prompts over at LupinIII.club! April’s prompts were: Opposites/Switches/Alternates for April Fools, total eclipse, morning routines, Zenigata getting lost in translation, and tax fraud for tax season.
I drew this back when Sakana came back from hiatus and finally got around to inking/toning it. I’ve been reading Sakana since it first started over on Smackjeeves, I included some OLD fanart from 2013 too!
Be sure to go read the comic okay?
A sketchdump of various Goemons for you on this fine Friday! Some thumbnails and the sketch for this piece. I’ve been working on a pretty big set of illustrations made to look like polaroids, I’ll start posting those for Grab Bag folks after The Curtain Falls is done so keep an eye out!
