Thanks to those who joined us for the stream - it was a nice way to end an otherwise difficult month! Fable wanted to finish up their stream sketches and share them with you all.
This came from a combination of requests - one for Rocky teaming up with Cactus Friend for Valentine's Day, and one for Rocky looking serious...
Spoiling some of Lackadaisy Season 1 music, if you care to hear it! The visuals here are the storyboard animatic.

Part 1 of a compilation of previews from Lackadaisy Season 1, Episode 1. We've started showing these previews at conventions this winter, and so I figured we'd share with Patrons as well!
The shots here are in various stages of completion from animatic, rough animation, to completed and fully composited animation. (You...

Cover art for the upcoming book.
And a compilation image to show the collection of cover images so far.
Up next, I'll share with you a little of the Episode 1 preview we'll be bringing to the convention this weekend!
A peek at some Wick and Mitzi art done recently for the upcoming cocktail book. (It'll be full of not just recipes, but photos, antiques, and art too.)
Painting by Salem Pullen!
Hello all!
A fresh new year seems like a good time to re-post all of the downloadable Patron rewards, old and new.
Some of the older rewards might be difficult for new Patrons to find in the post history, and some of you might not know what to look for or what you might have missed, so here's a whole pile of things to ...
Happy New Year, everyone!
It's not really convention season, but who cares? We're going to one anyway!
Fable Siegel (Lackadaisy series director) and I, and some of the crew will be at Further Confusion in San Jose, California from
Just some goofy little livestream request sketches I promised I'd post. There's not much time left to be timely about it, I suppose!
Freckle's special, not-so-special Holiday Potato, Bobby-Clause, and Sy as Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. (Rudolph was the product of a 1939 marketing campaign and so it's rather anachron...
Happy holidays, Patrons!
I hope you're all having a more festive and comfortable time than Mordecai here!
One of many backer, supporter, and book bundle drawings I've been working on this month. (I'll post more of them soon.) This one just turned out particularly seasonal, so I thought I'd share!

Important Jimmy update: He likes leaves.
He gets about 30-40 minutes of supervised outdoor time most mornings. The weather has been pretty cruddy, but he doesn't let that spoil a good time.
Mordecai's various Season 1 clothing changes. Also included are some notes we wrote up for the animation team to try to make drawing him easier, to explain some of his design foibles, and to smooth out some known issues...such as him turning into Lemoncai.
(The topmost turnaround is not representative of an outfit. It's ju...
Everything is 10-20% off in the LackadaisyShop until the end of Cyber Monday, including new items! So we thought we would communicate that to you with this slightly upsetting puppet-Rocky fever dream.
Enjoy (or recoil)! And Happy Holidays!
Viktor and Rocky have a heart to heart...or something like it in this preview from Episode 1 of Lackadaisy!
Can't wait to share more of this with you all in 2025.
Also...there's a bunch of new stuff in the LackadaisyShop, and it's all 10-20% off for ...

Some work in progress graphics for a yet-to-be-announced book that'll release sometime in 2025.
It'll be full of Lackadaisy themed recipes and drinks, concocted and photographed by the amazingly talented Nerlyn Galan. It's really been a labor of love on her part - there are even numerous authentic historical props sca...
Just something cheerful to share - concept art for an apparel design I did a while back.

Saturday, November 2nd
Starts 4pm PT / 7pm ET
A collection of request sketches from recent Patron streams. One of them ended up a little comic for some reason. (The prompt was Abelard as the grim reaper.)

Hey all,
Fable and I will be chatting live with the Lumi team today (Saturday) on YouTube about all the trials, tribulations, and fun parts about working in indie animation. If you have questions, or...
Church's design, plus some of his cohorts - the capitalist cats.
Also included are some of the initial sketches we did before digging into the final designs.
(I can't wait for you all to hear these guys talk. We had so much fun recording for them.)
The rat tableau from the latest animated short. The top is my original layout, with the final result pulled together by Annie Bearden, Eran Fowler, and Matt Pichette.
If you haven't seen the short yet, you can watch it here!

Some color scripting for a sequence in Episode 1.
For those who might have missed my past explanations for color scripts, they are a guideline for how a series of shots is to be colored, lit, and composited. It lets us establish an overarching color scheme to achieve a certain mood and to complement the storytelling.
Fortunately, he doesn't weigh enough yet to press all the keys down.
Just a little slice-of-life cat update...
Those of you who've attended any of our recent livestreams might know that Fable (series director) was basically...
