So I’ve decided to not post ANYTHING in August: no comics on Topaz, no OJST, no sketchbook, and no Friday public art. I’ll be putting my Patreon on break for August, so Patrons won’t be charged for that month. This’ll be the first time I’ve ever paused my Patreon since I opened it in 2017.<\/p>\n Then I plan to come back in September stronger than ever (hopefully!) I hope you’ll look forward to what I’ve got coming up~<\/p>\n ~~~<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Working on getting back into the swing of things with my schedule now that I’ve reached all my deadlines.
