HEYYYYY 2020!

Hello beautiful Patrons and welcome to a new decade! I have had an amazing 2019 with all of you and I cannot wait to see what we get up to in 2020.

To kick it off, enjoy these screen savers and wallpapers with a little New Years sass. As always if you need another size or something to fit a special device, send me a not...

When you havta MAKE the Christmas Drama

Hello beautiful friends. Early look at this little comic that will go up on socials. I wanted to share it here first. We actually did decide to paint a wall in our house a hot second before we had a ton of people over and I really felt like we were setting ourselves up for a sitcom moment. That said, our last minute impulses ...

HOLIDAY DECLARATION

Hello you wonderful patrons. Putting this comic up on socials later today but wanted to give you a little early look and have you be the first to receive OFFICIAL PERMISSION from Feetie-Pyjama Brenda to DECIDE TO NOT.

Sometimes the holidays are an extra-difficult time to decide to not. I declare that you can. I, Feetie-...

Recipe sites: you are the worst.

Look, I don't KNOW things about cooking like time to put something in and how hot to make the ovenmachine. So I innocently think that I can search these things on the internet which is how everyone my age solves all their problems. Usually this is a perfectly acceptable solution and I can even misspell words or use incorrect ...

COMIC SNEAK PEEK! HEY SHOE COMPANIES

Helloooo Patrons! A little early look at the comic that’s going up later today about how SOMETIMES THINGS ARE CALLED BOOTS THAT ARE NOT BOOTS AND IF YOU ARE NOT EVEN WATERPROOF YOU DON’T GET TO BE BOOTS.

*huff*

Okay but in other news, your perk packs all went out last week and I cannot wait for you to get them...

I am emotionally hostage to Baby Yoda.

Early look for YOU patrons before this goes to the socials later today.

There is nothing cuter in the media right now than Baby Yoda. I said it. I stand by it. I drew it and I love it. This is my way of processing the fact that I am not emotionally equipped to handle how cute Baby Yoda is and when I saw the colours in t...

Early peek at tomorrow’s comic!

This will hit socials tomorrow but wanted to give you an early look. The only part of this that’s exaggeration is that my underwear match.

FACTS.

Happy outfitting!

My neighbourhood is the coolest.

This year, our neighbourhood is having a window painting contest and naturally, we took to one of our favourite canvases of all. Diane is the owner of The Hair Committee and she's just about the most passionate supporter of the arts I've ever known. She always gives us creative free reign and lets our imaginations run wild.&n...

Because adulting is hard.

It’s the holiday season coming up so if...

DON’T RUSH ME I’M TUCKING MY LONG UNDERWEAR INTO MY SOCKS

It isn’t even *that* cold in Ottawa yet but as soon as the snow starts flying my whole body just decides to drop by ten degrees for four months. The only way to combat my perpetual chilliness is to layer like an angry little matryoshka doll WHICH TAKES TIME.

So. If I am running late during the winter months, I blame t...

Updated Tshirts and Totes!

Hello friends! First off, THANK YOU for all the lovely words of encouragement on finishing Inktober. This challenge really would not have been possible without your support and it's so awesome to have the Patreon fam cheering me on. Makes crazy projects like this so much sweeter.

November Sketchbox!

Hey beautiful Patrons! In the midst of packing and posting you perks I took a little break with the November Sketchbox. This month's supplies were all about GOUACHE which is a) one of my current favourite materials to use and b) amoung the most fun words to say. Try it. Gouuuuachhe.

The brands in this box were awesome a...

It is November and I am freezing.

Yes, yes I am cold all the time. I'm still buzzing from crossing the Inktober finish line BUT as soon as that adrenaline wears off I will almost certainly be cold. The November phone and desktop wallpapers are an homage to my perpetual chilliness and desire for hot drinks and large blankets. 

As always if you need ...

Inktober week THREE gallery!

Oooo we are DOING this Inktober thing! I’m feeling pretty good about the progress so far and I definitely think the designs this week turned out fun. This was the first round that I had one design that was just navy line work on grey and I really dig the look of that style. So often less is more and sometimes I forget just...

HALFWAY THERE!! Inktober updates

Woooo!! Halfway there folks! Okay so painting on tshirts and tote bags is DEFINITELY more challenging than paper but that was the whole point of this challenge. Right? Right. 

Here's a little update on how Inktober is going so far, plus some info about how the folks in the SuperNova and HyperNova tiers can claim th...

What does an idea feel like?

I wanted to use the Patreon-exclusive comic to think about brainstorming. Inktober was a great example of what it feels like when I’m pondering projects. There’s always the first few ideas that come to mind and they’re usually the safest, easiest to execute - the sure fire kind of ideas. Those definitely have their plac...

PIZZA IS A VEGETABLE

Hey beautiful patrons! Little surprise comic today about how soooooometimes I let my eating habits slide. When I’m absorbed in what I’m doing I occasionally find it REALLY difficult to stop and like...acknowledge my body and y’know...do things to keep it functioning.

This is my long suffering and very loving frien...

My laptop and my external hard drive have communication issues.

I love my laptop. It’s served me extremely well for YEARS and has lived well beyond the life expectancy. BUT it is also approaching the age where things don’t update and you can HEAR the gears grinding when it fires up. So I’ve been trying to be diligent about running back ups because some day, in the not too distant fu...

Inktober week one is DONE!

Ohhh patrons what have I gotten myself in to.

OKAY okay okay. SO week one of Inktober is complete. If you didn't catch my previous post, quick recap: Inktober is an annual challenge that artists all over the work participate in. There's a prompt list put out by the creator and the idea is that you create a drawing each ...

Sick naps.

Look. Full disclosure: I basically need to be unconscious to rest. I’m not saying this is a good thing, it’s just that being awake means feeling compelled to DO ALL THE THINGS. So I may rely to heavily on the powerful knock out of Neocitran when I just need to sleep. Great plan right? Until I wake up from my drug-induced ...

October Sketchbox: Night time Jackalope

A little early look at the piece from this month's Sketchbox which was full of lovely ink and drawing thinks.  All those moody colours made for a mysterious Jackalope that likes to travel by night. I think the Jackalope likely knows how to swim so can live on a very strange island and be surrounded by stars. Jackalopes a...

Part of my process.

I’m actually pretty good with time management and deadlines (kinda haveta be) BUT for some reason, a mandatory part of all of my timelines is spending some time freaking out about the deadline approaching. Like...JUST freaking about it. No action, just...freakin’ out.

I’m not sure what exactly my brain...
