I post a lot of stuff for free over on Patreon, and becoming a free member is a great way to see all of it. You can also get email updates and read new public posts in your inbox. Fun!

You can join my page as a free member and still see a lot of stuff. I do have exclusive things for paid members, however. This includes my patrons only Diary Comics. I just posted a new one yesterday, my first in months.

I’m still sorting out what I want to post there, but my goal is for it to be the main place I’m active.

Regarding video and livestreaming, well, I’m also figuring that out.

I’m sorta soft-rebooting my Twitch, etc as I dive back into video game streaming tomorrow night with Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I missed gaming on stream, and well streaming anything at all. It’s been a quiet few weeks. I still want to do art, but that may more of random thing.

Come hang out with me on stream tomorrow, May 6 at 7 PM ET for episode 1 of Linky Business! I’ve only ever played the first hour of Breath of the Wild, so this time I will play the whole game, DANG IT.

I’m going in without any tips or starting suggestions, so come watch me stumble and make bad jokes.

OTHER NEWS

I’m working on diary comics again. I have two done, so I’ll get them up here soon. They will remain for patrons only. I taught a journal comics workshop last Saturday, and it kinda of sparked me to get going again.

This will get its own post, but come see me at East Lansing Art Festival on May 16 – 17 in downtown East Lansing. I’m on M.A.C. Ave again!

Do you like using a fountain pen or what to try one out? Consider the TWSBI Eco Fountain pen.

It’s a fun and easy to use upgrade over entry level fountain pens, but isn’t a big investment like the fancier models.

If you are in Lansing, visit Odd Nodd Art Supply to learn more about fountain pens.

The Platinum Carbon Ink (black) I use in my fountain pens.

Certain links are affiliate links. I get a % of sales without a cost to you.

Buckle up for another around of Drawing Pokémon from Memory! I was close on a few this time, but WAY off on most. It’s OK, it’s all in good fun. Check out this playlist for more of Pokémon drawing nonsense.

Remember: I livestream on Sundays and Wednesdays (unless I can’t) on Twitch and YouTube at 7 PM ET (I’m danieljhogan on both). Swing by and hang out on either platform! My YouTube channel is my archive for everything, and has other stuff I don’t post on Twitch, like art supply reviews.
