Happy May everyone, maaaaay I interest you in a newsletter? My newsletters have all my comic, art, and Patreon updates from the last month!

Latest Public Arts
I post public art every Friday! Everything is also crossposted to tumblr, mastodon, pillowfort, bluesky and jpawlik.com/blog and up over a month early for all Patrons and VIP members which also include sketches and thumbs with almost every piece.
I also made a SheezyArt and have been enjoying it so far, so my public art will also slowly accumulate there as well.
Webcomic Updates
The Curse Eater pilot chapter continues, we're nearing the end of this test chapter so be sure to read it for free! The Curse Eater updates every Tuesday.

THE CURTAIN FALLS HAS WRAPPED UP!
I started outlining and thumbnailing Curtains in 2020, then started the art for it in 2022 and now it's complete! I'm so very proud of it. It was very ambitious for me, because thumbnailing a car chase isn't quite the same as DRAWING the car chase.
The books have been paid for and are currently in production to be (hopefully) done in time for TCAF on June 7th-8th. Afterwards the PDF and book will be up and available in the Topaz Shop!

For Grab Bag folks I got hit with a bout of inspiration for some HRT Diary comics, so those will be going out every Tuesday for $1+ members for a bit before being available publicly starting in July.

May's Sketchbook
This month’s sketchbook is up for the Grab Bag tier on Patreon and my VIP Blog
May's sketchbook is here! Lots and lots of concept art this month, I've got two new comics in the brainstorming stage right now -- one that will be a long public webcomic written by me, the other will be a $10 Patreon exclusive nsfw comic written by Max so look out for that! And of course some great shoutouts this month, thank to you the Private Collectors for your support.
Cool Comic Recommendation
Pia & The Little Things by Clover
Pia & The Little Things is such a delightful webcomic with absolutely gorgeous artwork, beautiful illustrations in-between chapters of various bugs, moths, and other little critters, and I'm so excited to see what happens next! It's very light and slice-of-life with a bits of drama and intrigue sprinkled in.
I had Pia on the mind this month because Clover let me use it as an example in my RSS talk so I just want to sing its praises a bit. Please go read it (and add it to your RSS reader of choice~)
TCAF 2025
Max, Amiel, and I will be tabling under Topaz Comics @ TCAF in the Mattamy Athletic Centre on June 7-8Because it's in a new location this year (just a block of College Station) we don't have a map or booth numbers yet but we will be there selling everything we have available in the Topaz Shop AND MORE!

Nib & Ink Fest 2025
May 31st is the last day of the Cartoonist Coop's big month long online event!NIF has been so exciting and great to be a part of. I'm on the promo committee for it and spent a lot of this year writing up social media posts for the Coop's socials to post.
The PDF copy of Dead City is available in the NIF shop plus so many other cool comics! AND you can still watch my talk "RSS & You" I hope I can convince some folks to give RSS a shot. All the talks are available even after NIF is over on the youtube channel.
