Today’s Patreon Update: For the first time ever, I'm taking a week off from the grind of every-weekday Patreon posting to A) get ahead on production of Empowered vol.12 and B) (re)build my buffer of prescheduled posts. Golly! My ginormous archive comprising two years' worth of everyday content (Empowered and Dirty Pair work, life drawings, vintage con sketches, Patron art requests & more) remains available for supporters' perusal, howeva.
