My souvenir goal for Japan was to buy myself a really nice fancy pen and I succeeded! This is a Sailor Profit 1911 21k with a zoom nib, it’s kind of like a fude and the nib is really neat.
Hey and if you want to learn about fountain pens, maybe check out the zine I did with my good pal Amiel
I drew Max and I as little wizards and I kinda love that for us? I made this my new DP on most other social medias.
I’m also still kind of recovering from jet lag so wasn’t able to get my October sketchbook or newsletter up yet, if you’re a $3 or more member on Patreon or my VIP Blog and you’re not continuing your pledge in November please email me so I can send you the sketchbook pdf and your shoutout request if you’re a $10 member.
I’m back from my honeymoon in Japan, just in time for Halloween!
Here’s this year’s Maka costumes, I really love drawing these every year. Here are the older ones.
Some little sketchbook doodles for fun! I really like trying out other artist’s styles every now and then, it’s always a good challenge.
The pieces I did for the last Swim On zine, which you can still support! It was such a tough decision to stop Swim On after this but it’s gotten so much bigger than I ever expected and I just don’t have enough time anymore to put into it. I may come back to it at some point, but for now 10 volumes was a good place to say goodbye!
Four more shoutout requests from last year, it was really fun to draw Lupin and Jigen in the suits Max and I wore to our wedding!
Shoutouts are for my Private Collector gang on Patreon & my VIP Blog! I draw them traditionally in my sketchbook and folks get one every month.

For Patrons and VIP members, I’m posting pages from After Practice – a comic Max and I did for Filthy Figments a few years back that we’re allowed to post now! This’ll give me a good backlog to get back into new comics after my contract ends.
A sexy 19-page story about two older lesbians, Jan and Isabelle, who come home to a relaxing bath after flag football practice!

September’s Sketchbook
This month’s sketchbook is up for the Grab Bag tier on Patreon and my VIP Blog
Swim On
Swim On donations have been DONATED and the zine is still for sale if you missed it! Donations are done annually every September 30th. All proceeds go towards finfree.org and I’m covering any and all Stripe fees myself.
We made a whopping $941.00!!! The most we’ve EVER made! Thank you all for your support in this last volume, what an incredible journey. I’ll keep annually donating whatever we get even if I don’t make another zine (but who knows, maybe I’ll come back to it if I have more time down the road).
Grab Swim On 10 and all the previous volumes here
The Trans Comics Bundle #1
Today’s also the last day to support this trans-only comics bundle by DCS on itch.io!
Max and I put Given & Taken forward and y’know I’m still real proud of that comic. We’re so close to our next goal so go grab some trans comics and help support trans creators!

Early in their partnership, Jigen is shot and when Lupin tries to help he discovers something he didn’t know about his partner. Unsure of how to react Lupin falls into old habits and is surprised when it doesn’t work out as planned.
This zine does not contain sexual content but does contain nudity and realistic depictions of an external genitalia prosthetic. Viewer discretion recommended.
Content warnings: Misgendering, language, blood, nudity, packer/dildo
Extras include: – Thanks for reading page – 2 extra comics (ft. Fujiko and Zenigata) – Turbodick specs & features – Michelle’s scripts and thumbnails (ft. my cover thumbnails)
Other things
Nearing the last ten tasks on my NDA game project with some on-call work for October/November and hopefully I’ll be able to share info about the game soon!! Stay tuned.
I’m taking most of October off to work on personal art and do some fun day trips with my spouse Max. We’ve been pretty non-stop since last January so it’ll be nice to have some time to do some fun things.
I’m trying to get into photography as a hobby that I WILL NOT monetize and that’s been real fun. I’ve got a 1994 Pentax film camera, an Instax Mini 11 and a small Panasonic Lumix DSLR that I’ve been playing around with. The tough part is I always want to bring all three camera with me every where I go. Maybe I’ll post photos somewhere online at some point after I recover from being real busy.
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!

Join me again at the end of October for my next newsletter!
Amiel had asked me to draw Nick from All Saints Street and that show is so dang charming, go watch it!
Inside you are two Lupins…
Yes when he got his top surgery he got bespoke bean nipples.
