lackadaisy

Recent reward art.  It sort of turned into an experiment to see how fast I could do a semi-decent painting job using some new brushes.  (Not fast enough.)

Volume 2 Pre-Orders Open

The Volume 2 Hardcover book is now available for pre-order. Books should begin shipping in late July.

If you're a $5+ Patron, you also should have received a message from me cont...

A mini-comic to address a couple of related reader questions - one from a Patron, one from tumblr. 

Volume 2 Proof

Welp...it'll be a more effective bludgeoning instrument than Volume 1, at least.

This is just the proof.  The cover colors won't look so dull, and will have some spot UV shine in the final product.  I've also adjusted the tones and sent the modified version off to the printer to de-p...

Next Livestream will be Wednesday, June 8th at 7:00pm CST at my Twitch channel.

I'll be working on some art, like usual - probably something related to a Patron-submitted question.  If you fe...

Recent reward art - this one for Chanie, who did an amazing job voicing Serafine for Elson Wong's Lackadaisy Audio Contemplation .

Rakusaru asked

"Can we see the Lackadaisy cast as dogs? I've always been curious what they would look like."

I did a lot of these in the last Patron livestream - many of the breed choices were the result of suggestio...

Anthrocon/Lackadaisy T-Shirt

Proposed t-shirt design for Anthrocon.  They caught wind of this image of Zib and asked for something with a similar theme.  The shirt will be a spot color dealy, though, so I had to take a different appro...

I've been invited to be a guest at Anthrocon this year, mostly because they're doing a 1920's theme for their 20th anniversary.  The arrangement involved doing the cover art for the conbook, of course.  

It's a wrap-around, so the front cover is the right half of the image and the back i...

This is how the Volume 2 cover is looking.  I figured I'd give Patrons the first look at it.  I left the title art out for display here since, well, you know what the title of the thing is.  If anyone's interested in wallpapers, I'll happily make those available.

Also, thank you...

Above is a little bit of recent reward art.  

Posting with an ulterior motive, however....

Lackadaisy Volume 2 PDF

Hey, guys!  Here's what's up with Volume 2 - you should see it as a downloadable attachment here. (Warning - it's about 100MB, so you might not want to download it to a phone.  It should be nice and big and easy to read on a monitor, though).

This is close to going off to prin...

A little bit of extra art for the last interior page of the Volume 2 book.   Volume 1 closes out with Rocky and a conflagration of his own making, so I figured I'd follow suit with a similarly themed Viktor for this book.

Rocky as the Joker.  This was one of the sketch requests from the last livestream.  I did most of the coloring during the stream, but it was a fun little reprieve from some of the other things I've been working on, so I figured I'd polish it up a little and post it here.  Thanks to wh...

Some thumbnail sheets from Volume 2.  I was originally going to post these as a sort of kitten update because Maya has chewed holes in every single one of these pieces of paper, but the scanner did a remarkably good job of lighting the sheets such that the holes are barely discernible.  Oh...

Many thanks to my best friend, Candy Janney, for helping me get this wallpaper together while I'm working on  book layout!

Layout, Layout, Layout

I've been spending a lot of time this month reformatting all of Volume 2 into book-shape.  A lot of what's on the web site will end up rearranged for print, so I thought I'd share a little bit of what I'm doing.  Above are some sample page spreads. 

I've also attached a d...

Reward art I had started in last month's livestream.  I hadn't picked a plane at that time, but someone in the chat suggested the Red Baron's Fokker Dreidecker, so I thought, why not?  That'd be fun to paint.

I don't recall who made the suggestion, but thank you!
