The past month has been a pretty intense ramp-up on production and on team size overall. A lot of the moving parts (script, character design, board notes, dev log web site, voice acting hiring and direction, and a million meetings about sundry other items) have required my attention. I simply want to make sure everything look...

Hello all,
I'll be streaming tomorrow, Sunday, May 24th, beginning at 6:00pm CT (7:00pm ET) at my Twitch Channel.
I plan on working on an illustration I need to complete for the art book, a...
A peek at what's been going on behind the scenes - there's a lot of it! (If Patreon is behaving, you should see multiple images in this post.)
- Nico and Zib character designs in progress. Usually we start with Tai's explor...
UPDATE: I have passed these results along to the team so we can plan accordingly. Thank you so much for your input, everyone!

As some of you might know, we hit our Mini-comics Dubs stretch goal in the recent Kickstarter for the animated film. Now that we...
Hey all,
The film crew is going to hold little game night to wind down after a long week. For that purpose, we'll be playing Skribblio! It looks like we may have some new team members joining in too!
If you'd like to come to chat or to just watch us being inane, the stream beings tonight, Saturday the 9t...
Can I offer you a nice corgi in these trying times?
(Some recent entries in the Patron art catalog. Some pet portraits and Mitzi/Zib art, for which the prompt was 'drama')
Hey all,
We've set up a dev log site to chronicle the progress of the Lackadaisy animated film! I will continue to post extras and early-looks at things here for Patrons (more soon), but this blog will encompass the director's thoughts, things they'd like to share, and sundry Kickstarter related updates too. &nbs...
Hello all,
I'll be livestreaming tomorrow, Thursday, April 30th, starting at 5pm CT (6pm ET) at my Twitch Channel!

This month is the 4th anniversary of the Lackadaisy Discord...
Some recent Patron art!
Also, I'll have Live Chat and Live Streaming scheduling come up shortly...
I was hoping to be able to finish a longer version of this page, but just how much chaos a Kickstarter involves took me a bit by surprise. I'm grateful for the support (to the point of near shock), but I'm also looking forward to a return to some degree of normalcy.
Thanks so for bearing with me, everyone! Sorry if I...
Hey all,
The 24 hour livestream has begun! We'll be going until this time tomorrow when the Kickstarter ends!
Stop by anytime, pop in and out! Chat with us, Drawpile with us,...
If you've been following me on Twitter, you might have seen some of this already. It's been so scattered about in articles and such, though, I figured I should consolidate some of this material into a single post here.
- Compiled character designs for Freckle, Ivy, Rocky and Mordecai (more to come)
- Some in-progres...

So, uh, Google Translate corrected Rocky's poem in our original teaser for the Lackadaisy Animated Film. We had to make some hasty but important revisions to the animatic...

Hope you're all safe and in good health! It seemed like a good time to share some downloadable stuff and to re-up some older things. Maybe it'll help curb a little bit of the need for listless quarantine circumambulations.
The large PDF for the Drawing Wrinkles tutorial is now available to all Patrons, and ...
Maybe more of a lowjink...
Just some nonsense from the April 1st live chat. Thought I'd clean it up a bit and share!
Some patron art - most of it painted during the last livestream. Seemed like a good time for something a bit cheerful. Hope you all are hanging in there.
The Kickstarter chaos has died down a bit now - I'll have a comic update for you soon!
Also, if you can make it, there's a chat tomorrow, starting at 6PM...
Hey all,
During my last livestream, some of you indicated you were feeling a bit blue, isolated and anxious in these Quarantimes, so I thought perhaps some extra socializing might be in order.
For that reason, I've scheduled another Discor...

Hi all,
What a chaotic month it's been so far - in a good way! There's a lot going on, but I'm looking forward to hosting something a little more low-key on the social side, for Patrons only.
To that end, the next art stream will be Saturday, M...
First, uh, wow! The Kickstarter was funded within 6 hours of launch! And it continues to outpace our expectations. I think we're really going to be able to do something special with ...

The Kickstarter for the Lackadaisy animated short film has just launched!
The main backer reward for this campaign is the Lackadaisy Essentials mini-comic, art and tutorial collecti...
Some of the steps in working out the speakeasy design for the animation project.
For story/clarity purposes, the layout needed to be revisited. We decided it was also a good opportunity to give the place a bit of a face-lift, with some added emphasis on cave formations, lighting, and an elevation change to lend th...

Just re-upping this as a reminder that this takes place tonight!

Hey everyone,
Next Saturday, March 14th, stating at 7pm CT (8pm ET), the Lackadaisy ...

One of the far less pretty parts of the animation process. Before any animation actually happens, the storyboards have to be solidly fleshed out, and before they're solidly fleshed out....they look like hot garbage. (It's important hot garbage, though!)
For this p...
Here's how that art book cover is shaping up.
I've been a bit short on time (deadlines everywhere) and haven't been as responsive as I'd like to be, but I did read every single one of the comments left on the thumbnails for this. Thank you for your valuable feedback! It means a lot!
Hey all,
There's been a lot going on behind the scenes here. The consolidated version: there's an animated short film currently in production! This is a first look at some of what's underway. Over the course of development, I'll be sharing more previews and exclusive looks at the nuts and bolts with Patrons. I ho...
