Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my grubby little heart. If you donated, please make sure to get me the receipt, and if you'd still like to, go for it! I will draw a winner Monday 3/18/24.
My friend Darby is a disabled artist in England. He's in immediate danger of losing his home, and I can't even begin to express how angry that makes me feel.
All I have is my art, and I'm damn well going to try and help.
Below is Darby's GoFundMe. Make a donation in any amount, and send the receipt to [email protected]. For every $5 donated, you earn 1 entry into a raffle, and the winner gets a custom sculpture, no limitations. It will be as big and amazing as I can make it, and ship for free. Entries will be accepted until the GoFundMe's goal is met.
This raffle is my own, and in no way associated with Tumblr. If it goes against any guidelines here I will gladly take this post down, but my heart is absolutely breaking for my friend and I HAVE to try.

I forgot I’d ordered this - thank you, past Nina, for the book surprise!
If you’re not already reading Tiger Tiger by @pepurika you should start, especially if you like sea voyages, hyper-specific scientific interests, evil non-binary gods, queer romance, and some of the funniest freaking facial expressions ever.
Every year I swear I will get better at sharing my art, and every year I fumble. When it hits the fan, social media is always my lowest priority.
Will it be different, this time around?
Absolutely not.
Look, the art, my family, my health - that stuff just has to come first, and I’m done apologizing for it.
If you’re here, I’m glad to have you, but it’s just gonna be sporadic.

This will be a little heavy and a tiny story time:
For years I've wanted to put out a full length comic. At one point I even did. A webcomic called Witchcraft (2016-2020). I have since removed it because I wish to improve the story and keep the characters. It was very much baby’s first comic and it taught me a lot. For that I am immensely grateful.
The last couple of years has been a constant grind and hustle to just stay afloat. Essentially it left me no time to work on private stuff beyond the occasional illustration. It also left no time to manage a myriad of socmed platforms, a patreon and my stream, without absolutely losing my mind.
I won’t get into it too much here, because I feel I’m already honest enough about this, but it made me very sick. Both mentally and physically. I also recently got confirmed I have endometriosis and it’s so bad it affects my ability to eat without issues. It also affects my endurance.
But I also just wrapped up the new script for my comic and I am very proud of it. The sad truth is that I still don’t have the means to sit down and simply focus on making it happen. And this is where I am very humbly asking:
If you wish to and can afford to support me, please consider checking out my Patreon. It has at least one monthly update with the possibility for more. If I do get enough supporters, I may be able to actually focus more on my own work and less on hustling online.
If you read this far, thank you so much for your time and have a beautiful day.

I am taking pre-orders for these new glow in the dark Patch Cats. I will remain open through Halloween or until I reach capacity, whichever comes first.
Hmmmm, been a while since I’ve done a fan art sculpture….
Elliwoods' 4K+ DTIYS <- <-
Seeming as theres interest, a DTIYS at last! Thanks again to everyone new, and those who have stuck with me for for all these months!!
Deadlines? None!
Prizes? I will love and cherish you forever, actually
I just want everyone to enjoy themselves! No pressure on my end at all. The only "prize" would be I might make your work my phone background for a long while! Other notes meanwhile:
- I encourage everyone to have fun with the outfits! I cannot stress this one enough! I want to see you get creative on what these boys can wear! You do not need to give them the same outfits I did! I think it would be awesome if every participant had a completely unique fit!
- You can change the poses and angle as much as you would like! Literally long as the two Leos are in the shot I am happy!
- Want to write instead? Something surrounding the scene! Where are they? What are they saying? Are they on a vacation in Tahiti? Are they in a 80's movie makeover montage?
- Tag me please and thank you! I want to see your gorgeous takes!
<3
