Y’all, May was so bananas busy I can’t believe I made it through! I also managed to get this newsletter done somehow (even if it’s June now, happy pride everyone)<\/p>\n

Public May Art<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I try and post fun public art every Fridays, usually fanart! I also post them on all the socials if that’s your jam, maybe give them a reblog over on tumblr<\/a>, mastodon<\/a>, cohost<\/a>, pillowfort<\/a>, bluesky<\/a> and jpawlik.com\/blog<\/a> with sketches and thumbnails up early for patrons<\/a> and VIP members.<\/a><\/p>\n

Webcomic Updates<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Three new Alola Darumaka pages up this month! And if you want early access to pages, sketches and thumbs check out my Patreon<\/a> or my VIP Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I posted another HRT diary comic this month, we’re on page 6 now! I’m making these pages as changes happen, but I do post them early on Patreon<\/a> and my VIP Blog<\/a>, then up 2 months later for free on Topaz Comics.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just one page of After All this month, it’s a bit of work to do these pages because I’m doing a trans version and a cis version of each page! It’s been fun to try and see come together. This is a NSFW Jigen\/Zenigata comic written by Max and it’s the penultimate page!<\/p>\n

Read on Patreon<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0| Read on my VIP Blog<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A new page of The Curtain Falls went up as well, this is a Lupin III fancomic I’m working that focuses on Lupin in his 60s and dealing with change and retirement. Yata is having the weirdest first day helming the Lupin case!<\/p>\n

Read it on Patreon<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0| Read on my VIP Blog<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

May’s Sketchbook<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

This month’s sketchbook is up for the Grab Bag tier on Patreon<\/a> and my VIP Blog<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

So May was one heck of a month for me! I forgot that I usually take May off from posting comic work and just didn\u2019t do that this year for whatever reason?! Well between TCAF, Anime North, a family member getting emergency surgery and work– oof! is all I have to say!<\/p>\n

Somehow I managed to fill up around 20 pages in my sketchbook despite everything. I think June will be a lot quieter. Enjoy some concept art, cute Lupins, and lots of notes from a professional panel day at TCAF!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Other things<\/strong><\/h4>\n

So my work contract got extended again, I’ll be working on this game until August but there’s a chance I may be extended again which is really exciting as we start putting some really cool art into this! I cannot wait to share what the game is with y’all.<\/p>\n

I’m working through 140 applicants for Swim On this year, and this will be the very last year of it! I was getting a little emotional as I was going through portfolios, but I think ending at vol. 10 is the right choice. I don’t have as much time as I used to and it keeps growing too. I hope this year will be the biggest, best one yet!<\/p>\n

I also removed Kofi<\/a> as a subscriber option. It’s not my favourite to post to, it’s very clunky, and I don’t like how the categorizing works. It was a lot of work for only one person to actually subscribe and they seemed to have cancelled now so I decided to turn it off. Kofi is still there as a tip-jar and you can always get a shoutout request on it, but I won’t be putting any extra work into it. I’d much rather get my VIP blog working and nice looking – since I own that!<\/p>\n

Max and I are working on a pitch for an upcoming anthology, I’m real excited to tell y’all about it when pre-orders go up.<\/p>\n

I’m also working on a small comic for a cool writer about their phalloplasty. It’s being looked over by editors for a publishing company right now and I think what we made is really neat.<\/p>\n

Despite being behind on drawing them, I’m still hosting weekly art prompts over on the Lupin Forum<\/a> and I’ve been really enjoying having a non-social media place to post and chat. If you’re a Lupin fan I highly encourage you to join!<\/p>\n

Basically May was the busiest I’ve been in a long time! Hopefully June will be a bit quieter so be sure to sign up for updates to get that at the end of June!<\/p>\n
