Looks like I have some beta access to upload videos directly to Patreon at the moment (instead of linking to YouTube). Might as well try it out!
More from a thing we have coming up!

Apologies for the brief silence. We've been going full steam ahead on multiple sizable Lackadaisy projects (more Patron previews incoming), but we took a little time out last week to finally throw a little bash for the crew.
A lot of people flew into L.A. from afar so that we could toast each other in person on a whol...
A little peek at something else we've got brewing!

We're working on animation things! I can't tell you about it yet, but I can show you these.
The lower half of the Rocky sheet is his flashy look for the pilot, but his other mode is hobo.

If you acquired one through the Kickstarter, it'll be on its way to you this month!
Meanwhile, Iron Circus is making a limited number of additional books (500) available, to be fulfilled immediately after. They come with a signed...
A little Patron preview for you!

The Lackadaisy Essentials art books finally arrived at the warehouse. I've been signing the bookplates that ship with them the past couple of nights. About 1000 left to sign at this point, but I should be wrapping up by around sunrise!
The printing process for these was very delayed and overall rather cur...

Ivy and Freckle.
I've been poking at this here and there over the past while, trying to keep myself sane during a month full of signing streams, emails, interviews, meetings, paperwork and other business stuff. Some of you may have seen me working on it a bit in Patron streams too.

Hey all,
Sorry for taking so long to deliver this one. It was trickier finding an appropriate hosting situation than I anticipated. We ended up settling on Itch.io.
In any case, without further delay, get it here!:
Hey everyone,
It has been a very unusual month of streams and events, strategy meetings and planning for the future. I'm dying to get back to doing the art and animation things I want to share with you, but...one last big doubleheader event to close out the month with, first!

In case you're morbidly curious about how the sausage gets made, here's the full animatic of the LACKADAISY Pilot. Also attached here are the screenplay and transcript.

Hi all,
I'm still working on getting some things from the production packaged up for you (a nice HD download of the film incoming, hopefully later today) but I also wanted to take a moment to slip in this short documentary made by Manu Mercur...
Hello all! And welcome new Patrons!
I'm working on compiling some things from the pilot production to share with you, like the full storyboard animatic and script. We've also begun planning out a little making-of book.
Meanwhile, though, here's an updated master-post of downloadable things for you!

Hey everyone! Just a little Mordecai art board drawing to accompany the latest news about the animated film.
Following a string of very, very late nights, we're up into the wee hours again tonight. Except this time, it's different. We're literally doing final renders and assembly. Currently - and assuming no one gets h...

Freckle skipping through a Patron request.
He's definitely going to faceplant right into the dirt any minute. Maybe the dirt is chocolate sprinkles. Maybe. But probably not. Anyway, let's let him enjoy it while it lasts.

Some art I've been working on for the Volume 2 book reprint.
Maybe you can help me pick which one works better. The cool-warm one (the top image) or the warm-warm one?
I've stared at it for too long to be objective.

Seems like the cool-warm one already won out. Thanks for your feedback...
