Blog and Newsletter
It's basically like Patreon or Substack, but it's all mine and I don't have to worry about their rules or how many Nazis they have on their platform. To subscribe to the paid posts, check out the plans here. I'll be posting various essays, behind the scenes works in progress, things I find nifty. In turn, your support makes it possible for me to keep making art.

Cruel Muse Chapter Two
There had been rumors about the mansion and its surrounding estate for as long as Val had been alive. Some said the tall manor set atop a hill just outside of town was haunted, or demonic, or owned by a powerful witch who sat at the left hand of Satan himself. Older folks claimed that the house hadn’t even been there fifty years ago, that it wasn’t real, couldn’t be real.
