Newsletter 📰 August 2024

Hello patrons!! Hope you guys are having fantastic summers wherever you are, and have been able to get away from work and obligations to do something you enjoy!

Here's a little bit about what you can expect from me and my art on this Patreon!

🥬This month:

• Immersing myself in painting all the details of this scene of Seamus getting blown in the alley behind the bar he works at. Crop of it above where you can see the general direction the lighting/colors are headed! I think it's gonna be a good one. Moody, dark, and secret... seems appropriate for what he's doing!! 😂 tbh really looking forward to the details of the city street scene in the background. Any Bostonians out there have a neighborhood that you envision Seamus's bar being located in?

• Also this month - having a lil issue with Redbubble. They removed my painting of Coach Dad painting the house citing a violation of their community guidelines, which I read in detail and can find no evidence of any violation. I wrote them to appeal the decision but that has predictably gone nowhere yet. So in the meantime, if anybody finds other platforms that work similarly to Redbubble (which will handle all the printing and shipping in exchange for a %) but might be more permissive for NSFW work, I'm all ears!! I'm pessimistic I'll ever find any, since it's the credit card processing companies who really enforce these guidelines, but you never know. Maybe something better is out there.

🥬Next month:

• The high-tier patrons voted in a poll last week about what Tusky's 2024 Halloween costume will be, and the results were a landslide: car mechanic!! 🔧 So Tusky will be dressed as a greasey grease monkey ready to do your lube and stuff his exhaust pipe up your engine manifold (if nothing else I look forward to the car-sex puns to be made this year). That'll be ready for you guys on the 1st to celebrate Orc-tober 2024!!

• Will September see the return of Random Gym Bro for another appearance? Nobody can say... but there are whispers on the wind...

🥬October:

• I think it might be fun to do another character in the fantasy D&D universe in October, so maybe I'll post a poll in September to decide what that new character's elements should be. I enjoy the design challenge of putting together whichever elements you guys settle on!! plus, I just have a weird kink for D&D-inspired fantasy + erotic gay stuff 🤪 so I'll be having a blast no matter what lol.

🥬And beyond:

• I have a great idea building for another Seamus+Eddie scene... and November might be a good time to whip that out. Not gonna say much about it yet while I let the idea develop but I think it will be another glimpse into their world and their interaction together 🤫

That's that!! Tell me what you guys have been up to - the highlights, the lowlights. The husband and I just spent the weekend up at a cabin in the mountains in New Hampshire and man was it great. I wish I could win the lottery (several lotteries?) so I could live that way fulltime, haha. Summer's winding down and it's making me excited for the ren faire we have in our area that rolls in around this time of year, we always go with a group of friends and get silly. And yes I dress up for it!

Hope you guys are doing excellently and that there's something on the horizon for you to look forward to - with my upcoming artwork, or otherwise!! Thank you one and all so much for your support, I am truly endlessly grateful. 🥬💚💚💚
