Newsletter 📰 June 2025

Hello patrons!!! Holy crap once again the month has flown by, it passed in a heat wave-induced haze and here we are at the end. Sweaty - but alive! 😤 Here's a brief update on everything coming up with my art that you can expect:

🥬This month:

• Tusky is back at his summer party lounging by the side of the pool, looking awfully inviting!!🥒 I really love the summer colors that are going on in this one, it's like every flavor of sherbet (would he himself taste like sour apple?). I got a bunch more work to do tonight but I'm gonna get it done for you guys - might be ready on Wednesday, not sure. Will be having a lot of fun with the variations on this piece!!

🥬Next month:

• I teased that July will be a wild card idea, and I'm gonna go for it!! I think it will be amusing, and hopefully very hot as well. Not gonna tip my hand as to what I'm thinking for a few more weeks yet... I think... ⚾

• I've been enjoying doing the character stat sheets for you guys so much, that I think maybe ol' Tusky himself is due to get one!! Keep an eye out for that in July, too.

• And, I'll be doing a poll for the high-tier patrons in July to get you guys to vote on what you want to see in August! Plans for August are wide open so I'll let you guys be the ones to decide who stars.

🥬August:

• We'll hit up whoever you guys vote for in July's poll, but also - August will mark THREE YEARS that this Patreon account has been active (how has it been that long) and so I'll be making another special exclusive painting in August to celebrate that, and send out to people who have had accounts active for 3 full years running!

• I've been bad about sending out the links to people for the 1- and 2-year anniversary specials the past couple months; I'll be fixing that tomorrow, so if you think you're overdue for the link, just sit tight and I'll hit you with it tomorrow.

That's the art update!! In the vast and scary real world, this was a fun month - my husband hit a birthday milestone (hint: it's more than 30 and less than 50) and I organized and threw a big ol' party for him! We got a great turnout, sang karaoke, and drank a whoooole lot of themey cocktails... my hangover the next day was nearly fatal. But it was worth it!! Do you guys have any fun plans coming up for the 4th, for those of you in the States?? Or any other exciting updates to share? You know I love to hear em!!

Hope all of you are well, and happy, and keeping reasonably cool during this summer heat, wherever you are 💚 I am so endlessly grateful for your support on here - THANK YOU!!
