August 2024 Patreon Sketches
Wednesday, October 9th, 2024
As usual, these were requested in August, sketched in September, and are being shared here a little after that! I still have my 100 Cats project to share with y’all, but I haven’t yet figured out what format I want to use for the posts (and how much Photoshopping it will require, sigh).
- Nick and Andria both wanted coziness, so the napping purrito and autumn opossum are for them.
- SaraBeth asked for two of my OCs, Andy and Horace. Andy is a weird shadow monster who is in full muppet mode here, lol. (sold)
- Jefferson wanted a Galaxy Cake, ironically not the cake I had for my birthday this year. (sold)
- Eric asked for egrets. No regrets, only egrets. (sold)
- Kelly asked for a phoenix and got this sparkly boyo. (sold)
- Amber wanted Calvin & Hobbes, which I am always happy to deliver. (sold)
- I got another new pack of cool pencils and experimented with them to draw weird fire.
- Amy B wanted a batcat for the season! (sold)

June 2024 Patron Sketches
Tuesday, July 30th, 2024
There was a bat in our basement! It appears to have left on its own, but man, what a random ending to the week. Before all that, I spent the day on sketch cards! Everything is watercolor this time around because reasons.
From the top left:
- Kelly asked for a rainbow kitty
- Amy B prompted “our big, loud pride in [their] shameful times”
- SaraBeth prompted “quiet pride”
- Eric asked for Gonzo
- Jeff asked for Fozzie Ramone
- Amber prompted “sidekick wanted!”
- Andria wanted a subtle bi owl
- Corinne referred to Goomy day by asking for “slime and rainbows”
- and Nick asked for a Mandragora from Final Fantasy
There’s actually a 10th card, but it’s a spoiler for the cover of A Flutter of Fae, which is now with my beta readers, with its plot all fixed and some fresh typos for their pleasure of discovery.

March 2024 Patreon Sketches
Monday, May 13th, 2024
I wrote a LOT of words last month (over 50K!) on the new Consulting Magic book, so these were a little late, but I got ’em done. Enjoy!
- Amber asked me to do “the artist in residence” (me) so I went a little ridiculous with it. (sold)
- Jefferson prompted “barcodes on the brain” and really I don’t know what else you could expect from me. (sold)
- Nick wanted a baby Chocobo.
- Amy B said “grumple” which I decided was “grumpy skrunkle” and there he is. (sold)
- Catherine asked for a Princess Fish.
- Deandra asked for the Queen Bees from To Hive and to Hold, and I did the more alien-looking one, only I’m just not great at translating them from my brain so you know, don’t take her as canon lol.
- Kelly wanted a cat + dragon, and gets this draconic kitty. (sold)
- Eric asked for Cloud Strife in a dress, and, welp, here he is! (sold)
I hope you guys have had a great April and don’t get rained on too much!

Still Death
Thursday, April 4th, 2024
Still Death, 6″x4″ watercolor on paper, $200.
It’s like a still life, but eerie! Little creepy doll fingers poke their shiny green flesh up out of the rust-streaked soil, while the cracked head is helpless to do anything but watch. Bats fly in the on the sulphur winds and
The whole tiny painting is the size of a postcard, perfect to hide in a bookshelf or niche for extra spook points.
