Latest Public Arts
All Friday art is crossposted to tumblr, mastodon, pillowfort, bluesky, and jpawlik.com/blog and TWO months early for all Patrons — which also include sketches and thumbs with almost every piece!
I’m still slowly working on remaking my Patreon mirror on my art blog, it’s a work in progress so if menus appear and disappear that’s why.

Webcomic Updates
This month’s OJST comic came out on the 14th, and this time it’s all about T-Gel! What is it? How does it work? Is it right for you? Go on and read it and see if maybe it’s the HRT you’ve been dreaming of (’cause that’s what happened with me)
Three HRT diary comics went up this month over for free on Topaz Comics, I’m almost done wrapping up this short mini story.

Cool Comic Recommendation
What Happens Next By Max Graves
An absolutely incredible webcomic. The writing is so realistic and it feels so frighteningly real. Milo, a young trans man who’s extremely online, has been involved in a murder and he’s trying to find his way in the world after the horrible event. Everyone is problematic in the most interesting ways! I just can’t stop reading because what happens NEXT?!
Content warning this comic is for mature readers and includes: murder, death, blood, transphobia, homophobia, nudity, mental health, drugs, and a whole lot more

Other Things
Max and I will be at MCX in Mississauga as Topaz Comics! This is a free convention so come by and say hi on November 15th. I’ll also be doing a sketch challenge at 11am where the audience will give us ideas on what to draw in 20 minutes and have a chance to WIN said sketch!
I’m halfway done the semester now and teaching has been going really well. I love inspiring folks to make comics!!
My 35th birthday is coming up on November 5th and I’m still deciding what I want to do for it, maybe I’ll post some art.
~~~
That’s all for now, see you again at the end of November!

It’s an Alola Darumaka costume extravaganza today for today’s (technical) OCtober – Darumaka is just mine now, okay?
Want to see Darumaka’s past Halloween costumes? I’ve got them up here (2024) (2023) (2022 & 2021)
You should also read Alola Darumaka, it’s over 100 pages and free!
Week 3 of OC-tober, and it’s getting into spooky season so here’s Diana as a witch.
Ask me some OC questions and maybe I’ll draw them up this month! Feel free to ask those Q’s over on this free Patreon post~
My second piece for OCtober, a question for Ulf today! Ulf is a loooong time OC of mine (circa 2011) and you can find lots of old art on my art blog, or my 5 page NSFW comic Long Haul Leisure Time~
Send me OC questions this month over on this free Patreon post!
This month’s set of 8 requests from my Private Collectors on https://patreon.com/jpawlik and https://jpawlik.com/vipblog of quite a few Jigens — which I am not complaining about!
OH and it’s the beginning of the month which is the best time to sign up on Patreon! You can get monthly requests like these and my entire archive of either SFW or NSFW art and comics.
The first piece from my OCtober, we’re starting with a question about Daven and what his (and Darumaka’s) food is! You ask OC questions over on this free Patreon post~~
OH! Read Alola Darumaka here btw: https://topazcomics.com/aloladarumaka/alola/
Something a little fun I wanted to do for a while with free & paid members is finally do OCtober– but instead of daily questions and drawings I want to put the questions out to y’all and then post them weekly!
Rules
– Join my Patreon for free (or at any tier, also wow thanks!)
– Ask a question in the comments of the post to or about any of the featured characters
– I’ll draw as many as I’m able and post a set every Friday in October
