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.

This was a week of taking power back, although it's not without loss as well. Just know that this essay gets to end in a positive note, unlike the last one. To recap, the local queer bar that is like a second home to me was threatened by a local man who is a self-proclaimed fascist as well as a pedophile. He was kicke
