*Orbital Objects* February Digital Downloads are here!

Magical Patrons,

It's no secret that I am enamoured with all things to do with space - the names of all our Patreon tiers should have been a dead giveaway! I recently went down a rabbit hole of low earth orbit, mid earth orbit and high earth and geosynchronous orbits and the 2024-02-01 10:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post

Sketchbook Tours ACK!!

Magical friends!! Patrons got an early look at the vid for this sketchbook tour, but since we never got the chance to tour it on stream, I'm sharing this one on socials. 

FUN FACT SKETCHBOOK TOURS ARE STILL TERRIFYING.

I got to do this tour with the Patreon fam during one of our discord hangouts, and touring ...

The Patrons Sketchbook Tour Series - Tour 15

Hello wonderful Patrons!

I love our sketchbook tours so dang much Patrons. This one was particularly special because we got to do the tour during a Patrons only hangout rather than during a livestream. The streams were just TOO RIOTOUS to get through a tour so we got to cozy up during one of our hangouts and walk throug...

The FEELS and the Comms <3

Oh my HEART you incredible Patrons,

You have *once again* sold out the QUASAR tier and I am still trying to process the gratitude. Thank you ALL for supporting me in whatever way serves you, at whatever level works for you. I am so incredibly grateful to every single one of you for making this platform a place that make...

Patrons only Comic: The Indoor Months

Hello wonderful Patrons,

Do you ever come across an idea or a quote and just get stopped in your tracks? I needed a minute to spend reeling when I first heard this one. 

Where I live, we're clearing depths of snow and putting on layers to leave the house, bundling up and scurrying and holding our balance on i...

And then there were ten.

Incredible Patrons,

I have been in AWE of your support over the course of 2023 and one of the ways that hit me most in the feels was the addition of the Quasar tier. The tiers with physical perks have been sold out a couple of times which is incredible to me and I'm so grateful. I also want to keep trying to add spots r...

Patrons Early Sneak Peek: The De-Frannexing of 2023

Patrons,

It seems only fitting to share this video here with you first before it goes out on socials and before we do the reveal for everyone on stream this eve. If you're not familiar, we count crayons over on my Twitch channel as a way to track when new people subscribe. We put the crayons into a fishbowl called The F...

January Wallpapers are here! Tardigrades do not need resolutions.

Patrons! Welcome to 2024! 

I can think of no better creature to greet us in the New Year than the Tardigrade or "water bear" and sometimes MOSS PIGLET omg. These microscopic little creatures can withstand everything from dehydration to outer space and I'm OBSESSED. If ever you're looking for inspiration, just look ...

Feetie Pyjama Brenda has OPINIONS

Dear Patrons,

We're wading into that bizarre holiday week from now until New Years where time takes on a whole new nebulousness and the feelings around celebrating are everything from elation to grief, sometimes in the same second. I've collected a few of the Feetie-Pyjama-Brenda drawings that I've made over the years a...

Patrons Only Comic: THE BUNDLING

Glorious Patrons,

Does anyone else get chilled once and then stay freezing for ages?? I swear every year I have to add more bundleables to my person before leaving the house. It is CRUCIAL AND METICULOUS because it gets COLD where I live.

That said, there are some upsides like living in a place where there are vir...

Patrons! Help me choose our next hang out?

Sweet shining diamonds, 

What an amazing hangout we had. Our last Patrons only discord hang was one for the books. I debuted the new spots in the QUASAR tier and you promptly SOLD THEM OUT and I am still processing my feelings. THANK YOU wonderful friends.

We're going to try something for our next Patrons onl...

Looking back, looking ahead.

Incredible Patrons,

We're rounding out a wonderful year and there is much to be celebrated. I think sometimes I forget to turn back and look at how far we've come and this year has been a complete game changer. We've chatted occasionally about the fact that I've been on Patreon since summer of 2018 and there are a LOT o...

December Digitals: Shall we cozy up and read a book Patrons?

Loveliest Patrons,

December is such a strange time of year. It's full of major holidays and gatherings, and all the complexity of joy and grief and delight and stress and magic and challenge that you can pack into one month. 

The weather where I am turns to winter-in-earnest and the shorter days send all kind...

Patrons Only Comic: The Lost Hour

Wonderful Patrons,

Does anyone else feel a sense of total upheaval with the time change? My little ecosystem goes into a full on revolt for the first week after and it feels like the sun rises and sets within minutes. Sometimes it takes me a while to put my finger on what's got me feeling so thrown off what I'm unsettle...

To DeSituation A Frannex: Sept-Oct 2023

Hello Beautiful Patrons,

Some of you will have seen me share this lil' video on stream but I wanted to post it here for you as well since it just went out on YouTube.  Every two months I dismantle this absolute monument of chaos, love, and support only to have it built back up more spectacularly ridiculous every ti...

November is being so very dreary so I made us some Cutie Moos.

Beautiful Patrons,

November is one of those months that can draaaggggg on in my city. It can get grey and rainy and cold without being COLD cold and everything feels overcast. For some reason this always sends me looking for brighter, warmer, sweeter inspiration and I went down a rabbit hole of Highland Cows as a result...
