Webcomic Updates

 

The Curse Eater pilot chapter has officially wrapped up! Thanks so much for reading, Max and I are hoping to either pitch it around but if that doesn’t happen we’ll post it as a webcomic. Wherever it ends up, newsletter readers will be sure to get updates about it.

THE CURTAIN FALLS HAS ARRIVED!

I’m so so proud of this book and how it turned out. And that it’s done. This was my first big fictional project by myself. I wanted to keep it fairly short and manageable lest I be overwhelmed but it went really well. Hey and did you know the PDF and book come with extras? Like TEN pages of extras and a post card? I really went all out on this one and I hope you enjoy it. If you did, @ me on most socials about it, or shoot me an email!

Grab it at the Topaz Comics Shop! | The PDF is also available on itch.io for PayPal users

 

Grab Bag folks are getting a slew of HRT Diary comics right now because I was really feelin’ it! Those will be going out every Tuesday for $1+ members for a bit before being available publicly at the end of July on Topaz Comics.

Some new NSFW pinups went up for the Private Collector Tier – hey did you know the $10 tier also includes my entire nsfw archive as well?

See ’em on Patreon | Or on my VIP Blog


June’s Sketchbook

This month’s sketchbook is up for the Grab Bag tier on Patreon and my VIP Blog

It’s another month of lots of concept art! June was so busy with conventions and events but I somehow managed to get a bunch of sketching in. There’s a few pages of notes when I went to a day long seminar on comic making, maybe you’ll find it helpful — I know I did! And as always some great shoutout requests from the Private Collector crew, it’s always fun drawing so many JigZeni pieces and brand new things I’d never heard of before.


Wrapping up June’s Convention Events!

TCAF and CitrusCon were both so wonderful! I met so many great folks at both.

TCAF was in a different location this year and while it was extremely crowded, I did enjoy the new setup. TCAF is my favourite show of the year whether I’m boothing or attending. I also think having it be during Pride Month really helped. We got so many tourists coming through and were excited to see all the queer comics on our table! Thank you to everyone who came by!

This was also my first time boothing at CitrusCon and it was really delightful! I would absolutely sign-up for it again. If you like MLM works I highly recommend it.

🌈The cons may be over for me for the summer but I wanted to give y’all newsletter peeps an exclusive sale. If you buy something physical from the Topaz Shop, you can add any 1 sticker to your cart and get that sticker for free! Use code SummerNews25 – expires July 31st🌈


Cartoonist Coop Summer Camp

Now that NIF has wrapped, do you want even more events from the Cartoonist Coop? Join up now to take part in this year’s Summer Camp, July-August 2025. I’ve got a talk on halftones and other forms of toning your comics on July 6th!

Join the coop today!


July Schedule

Here’s July’s schedule! Though things may move around I try my darndest not to move them too much. Comic and art titles are also subject to change.

  • Tuesday is webcomics day, $1+ patrons get early access 2 months before pages go up on Topaz Comics for free
  • Wednesday is Grab Bag day, $5+ patrons
  • Every other Thursday are Private Collector NSFW posts, $10 patrons
  • Friday is for fun illustrations, $1+ patrons also get early access before a month before I post them free online

Cool Comic Recommendation

Exorcism Academy by Asmo (18+)

This comic is for an 18+ adult audience only and features explicit sexual content, violence, and other mature themes.

“Ethan, a cadet exorcist, finds himself being seduced by his demon partner Al, but their unexpected romance is destined for darkness when human and demon worlds collide!”

Exorcism Academy is fun, sexy, and dramatic in all the right parts! If you’re a fan of beautiful beefy boys and demons then this is the comic for you.


Other Things

Some other autobio comics are on the horizon! Excited to share that news with y’all soon~

Commissions are still open for the foreseeable future!I want to draw things for you!

I’m also looking for some freelance work, if you or anyone you know is the market for a comic or character artist hit me up.

I’ve been really enjoying photography as a hobby so be sure to check out my Photography Corner posts as I very slowly get all those film photos up! Debating on making a tumblr for them as well.

~~~

Hope y’all are having a good start to the summer, I’ll talk to you again at the end of July!

THE CURTAIN FALLS HAS WRAPPED UP!

I started outlining and thumbnailing Curtains in 2020, then started the art for it in 2022 and now it’s complete! I’m so very proud of it. It was very ambitious for me, because thumbnailing a car chase isn’t quite the same as DRAWING the car chase.

The books have been paid for and are currently in production to be (hopefully) done in time for TCAF on June 7th-8th. Afterwards the PDF and book will be up and available in the Topaz Shop!

And of course some great shoutouts this month, thank to you the Private Collectors for your support.


Cool Comic Recommendation

Pia & The Little Things by Clover

Pia & The Little Things is such a delightful webcomic with absolutely gorgeous artwork, beautiful illustrations in-between chapters of various bugs, moths, and other little critters, and I’m so excited to see what happens next! It’s very light and slice-of-life with a bits of drama and intrigue sprinkled in.

I had Pia on the mind this month because Clover let me use it as an example in my RSS talk so I just want to sing its praises a bit. Please go read it (and add it to your RSS reader of choice~)


TCAF 2025

Max, Amiel, and I will be tabling under Topaz Comics @ TCAF in the Mattamy Athletic Centre on June 7-8

New things debuting at TCAF!! YEAH!!

Nib & Ink Fest 2025

Cool Comic Recommendation

Awkward Zombie by Katie Tiedrich

So I’ve been reading Awkward Zombie since I was 16 in 2006 and I cannot believe Katie is still going strong on these. The comics continue to be an absolute delight. If you haven’t read or heard of Awkward Zombie, they’re one pages comics usually about various video game goofs; including Smash Bros, Legend of Zelda, and more!


Nib & Ink Fest 2025

Here’s this month’s sketchbook! There’s some fun concept art, a bunch of silly doodles, comic planning and more – and as always some great shoutout requests from the Private Collector folks!

Also enjoy a sneak peak into some comic sketches for the comic I did with Max for the Transfixed anthology! The pages I picked are SFW, with a minor NSFW mention on one page and some smooching on another. Hope you enjoy because we had such a fun time with this concept.


Cool Comic Recommendation

Sakana by Mad Rupert

I’ve been reading Sakana since it’s inception back on SmackJeeves (where we were also posting Dead City) and it is absolutely one of my favourite on-going webcomics. It’s sweet, the comedy is so good, the art is incredible! What more could you want?

The story follows Jiro Sakana who works at a fish market in Japan and is trying to get a date with the cute girl who works across from him. Hilarity ensues.

Did I mention there’s also queer characters? You’ll love them.


Transfixed – Trans & Genderqueer Erotic Fairy Tales Anthology

"Transfixed Anthology" panel, showing a modern day Paul Bunyan in a semi-realistic style. Paul, a handsome man with short black hair while wearing a toque and sporting a small moustache and beard, is smiling for a photo while holding a fish up for the camera. Text is overlayed over the photo reading "Paul Bunyan, transmasc he/him. Looking to get out and meet some more people in the city." Text below the panel reads "Now on Kickstarter" with a star emoji.

Max and I have a 15 page story in this really wonderful anthology from Filthy Figments.

Kaye is looking forward to his next Grindr date when he starts hearing some unusual rumours. Will his date really be a five-dick having, pro-bono lawyer, who can make you orgasm for 15 minutes straight? Intrigued by the mystery, Kaye is ready to get to the bottom (and maybe bottom for) the mysterious Paul Bunyan. Legends of Paul Bunyan, Transman is a contemporary trans masc4masc story based on the legend of Paul Bunyan, American folk hero. (Legends of Paul Bunyan, Transman by Max & Jey)

Now on Kickstarter


Disney Villains Cursed Café?!!?!


So that secret game project I was working on for the last two and a half years? It’s out!

I was the character artist on the game, my work for the game consisted of 104 character poses and reactions with blinks, flips and interchangeable arms and items, main cast café background character art, 30 cutscene illustrations, 36 potion effects, some character design and refining, and fake text design.

So my favourites to draw were Yzma, Hook, and Maleficent for sure and I think it shows. When you get the chance to design cute outfits for Yzma and make her react to things you kinda think “I never thought this is where I’d be” and it was really wonderful.

It was such a joy to work with my art director Shel Kahn and the whole team at Bloom Digital on this big project. As a small studio, we are all so proud of this game.

I’m going to be working on another game with Bloom so I can’t wait to yell about the next one too!

Photography Corner

Colour film photo of a stump growing in a lake in Port Severn with vegetation framing the bottom and right sides of the photo.
I started posting some of my photography here, it’s a hobby I’ve neglected for a long time but have been really enjoying getting back into! Check out those photos here!

Cool Comic Recommendation

Shot & Chaser, by EK Weaver

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

"Things Exchanged: A Lupin III Boudoir Zine" promo image showing three hearts on a pink background. A crop of two illustrations are in the first two biggest hearts, we can see a pinup of Jigen in a cowboy outfit smiling and giving a peace sign, the second shows a pinup of Fujiko leaning her head on a giant Fabergé egg with a smile. Text in the last heart reads "Preorders open! topazcomics.com/shop Paperback $15CAD" In the bottom right corner are two stickers that look like instax photos, one of a pink flowery bra on top of Goemon's sword. The second sticker showing handcuffs, Jigen's hat, Lupin's yellow tie and blue striped boxers. Text reads "Two stickers with every paperback order" "After All These Years Can You Finally Say Who You Are?" cover and back cover in one image. Both are done in a noir detective book cover style with lots of grungy textures in purple, yellow, orange and blue. Text in black on a yellow banner at the top reads "Paperback preorders open @topazcomics.com/shop - $15CAD". The front cover shows Zenigata standing against a wall with his hands in his pockets looking to the left at a gay bar sign glowing behind him. "18+" is in the bottom right corner. The back cover shows a similar set-up but from the perspective of the gay bar sign, we are looking up some stairs to see Zenigata and Jigen from behind as they walk away into the night arm in arm under a bright streetlamp. Text reads "A NSFW Lupin III fancomic, where Zenigata is conflicted about his feelings for other men and unexpectedly meets Jigen at a gay bar." A yellow circle is in the corner showing a sticker of Jigen and Zenigata's hats on top of one another with hears coming off of them. Text reads "All paperback orders come with a sticker"

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.

The first sketchbook of the year and I’m off to a good start, with a bunch of fun concept art, some Lupin prompts, good shoutout requests and some silly doodles!

Commissions

I’m currently open for commissions and trying out using Ko-fi to process those for me. If you’ve ever wanted some custom art from me, now’s the time! I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to have them open for this year.

Photography Corner

 

So for the last 2 years I started getting into film photography and thought I’d finally start posting some of those online. This is a just for fun hobby and I’m going to try really hard not to stress about scheduling posts and such.

You can see the other 9 photos over here – and maybe I’ll post them on tumblr or other places as well, we’ll see!

Cool Comics

I thought I’d try something new this year with a comic recommendation every month! I’ll be putting links to these comics in my blog’s side bar too.

Lies Within - BOOK 1

Lacey is a good friend of mine but I’m not starting with Lies Within because of that, I’m starting with Lies Within because you NEED to read it. It’s fun, it’s witty, it’s modern and supernatural. I won’t say too much because I don’t want to give too much away but go read it you won’t regret it!

Ladies of Lupin Zine

I thought I’d posted this already but didn’t! Max and I did a 4 page gay Fujiko comic for the Ladies of Lupin zine which you can still order here: https://ladiesoflupiniii.bigcartel.com/

Profits from this project will be donated to National Network of Abortion Funds

 

Other things

I finally did a small rebrand, changing up my display picture and banner for the first time since 2025. I have a small moustache now after all!

Max and I have applied for a few conventions already; TCAF (Toronto, June 7-8, 2025), Citrus Con (Remote, June 20 – June 22), NIF (Remote, May 2025) and will be applying for Dashcon 2 tomorrow. I’ll be sure to let y’all know if we get in to these!

Max and I will have a garage sale booth at Nerd Market 5 on February 23rd from 12pm-4pm

Promotional poster for "Nerd Market! An event presented by the University of Toronto Tabletop Gaming Club" A nerdy garage sale without the garage. The Greal Hall at Hart House. February 23 from 12pm to 4pm. Free Entry! The poster includes a map and a circle showing that I'll be selling at table 36, with a circle over where 36 is on the map.

The Curtain Falls also got a new page this month! This is a 50 page Lupin III fancomic, where Lupin is now in his 60s and has to come to terms with the fact that nothing lasts forever. Is he ready to retire?

December’s Sketchbook

This month’s sketchbook is up for the Grab Bag tier on Patreon and my VIP Blog

Slowly getting back into personal art this month and doing a lot of fun doodles, thumbnails and concept art! There’s so much I want to draw but not enough time in a day.

2025 Bingo card!

As a special treat for folks who sub to my newsletter, you’re welcome to use this template I made for a 2025 New Year’s Resolution bingo. This way, if you don’t finish them all – it’s okay! Don’t stress about resolutions, have fun!

 

Other things

My November giveaway and any physical orders from my shop will be back up January 6th, so get that form filled out if you want in my giveaway. And to any folks with outstanding shop orders, thank you for your patience during the strike – I will get those packages to you!

Thinking about how to use my newsletter to it’s fullest next year and I want to play around with a comic recommendation section, seasonal coupons, and readjusting comic updates – right now I’m posting Patreon/VIP updates in the newsletter AND individually on social media but what if… I posted less updates on social media?!

Thinking about a rebrand for myself, make a new logo/banner/display picture and stuff. It’s been a while!

Happy new years everyone and stay safe!

Other things

My November giveaway and any physical orders from my shop have been put on hold due to a Canada Post strike. I stand with our postal workers and will not be crossing the picket line.

MCX was a success this year, thanks to everyone who came out to say hi and buy some books! I felt really inspired being around so many cool artists and hope to do some more conventions next year.

If you’re a Lupin fan, also check out the Lupin Forum I’m back to hosting weekly prompts AND there’s sign-ups open now for our December Advent Calendar event!
