Rewatched The Mystery of Mamo again and had to draw this little freak!
I came across a post for a Lupin book teaching English words. I’m just so delighted anytime Lupin wears drag that I had to draw it!
Of course now I cannot for the life of me find the post. I saved the original image back in 2021, so it might’ve been from Twitter. But trust me that there was a Lupin Let’s Learn English book and I saved the best image from it.
Did you know you can just wear anything you want at home?
Hat crocheted by my wonderful spouse Max!
EDIT: OH forgot to add the crochet pattern my spouse followed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrFiu-KVnXQ
I got a comment recently from someone who’s not able to start comics because they can’t afford a tablet and I want to shout from the rooftops that you don’t need fancy gear to make a comic!!! Both Dead City and Gender Slices were completely traditional (aside from some grey tones in Dead City).
I love traditional work. I love pens. I love ink.
Go grab some paper, grab a pen, and get started on your comic!!!
“June 1981, Sleepy Samurai”
A freebie from my photo series “Treasures of Time” that I’ve been posting for Grab Bag and Private Collector patrons every Wednesday, then every 10th piece goes up for free. If you want to see a Lupin III photo album, or even just see the sketch and thumbnail for this piece, check out my patreon!
This was heavily inspired by a scene from one of the TV specials, I couldn’t help myself!

Cool Comic Recommendation
A really beautifully drawn queer post-apocalyptic webcomic (that started just a few months before Dead City actually) and is still going! It’s currently on hiatus but is on it’s way back this year so now is the best time to read through the huge archive.
I’ve linked to the about page just in case, there are some content warnings. It’s very beautiful violence!
Go show Jackarais some love!

Other Things
I finished up my children’s book work and now I’ve got some actual time to work on personal art again, yay!
Keep and eye out for commissions info, they’ll be opening up for all Patrons first in two weeks 👀
Lots of news of the fall of AI is out and about and I’m grinning! Mandates being submitted, Disney backing out of a deal with openAI, and Sora shutting down. 2026 is the year for humanmade art!
I’m excited to work on art and webcomics again. Alola, Darumaka is on the horizon~

Let’s keep making art! See you next month~
Four more birds from the end of 2024’s summer. The barred owl was SO LOUD outside the bedroom window, so loud I wrote a comic about it.
I had such a good time looking up outfits for Aidan, I cannot wait to draw more!
I’ve had Aidan for almost as long as I’ve been drawing and I’m so glad I finally landed on a story to include him in. You may have seen him around before.
My girl Diana gets a character sheet!
I cannot wait to draw her more and to get started on ISO this year. Get hyped for this very cute lady!
