so glad my hair is long enough now that, when it’s in two braids, I can tie them in a knot and they will very nearly stay secure
Here’s a taster of the project I’ve been wrapping my life around these last few years! You can find out the rest of this story by downloading the PDF from Gumroad. (It’s free!)
To enable the production of this comic, I’ve got a Patreon, where you can keep up to date with development of the project, as well as scans of my sketchbooks, and a range of other prizes.
I’ll be having an Open House on Patreon this weekend (May 5th & 6th) where I’ll unlock a lot of normally patrons-only posts so you can see what you get by subscribing. But if you subscribe today, you can download a PDF omnibus of two other comics, which won’t be available this weekend. Have a look at the currently public posts and see if you like it, then subscribe and see everything else!

follower poll! so I’ve been toying with starting a patreon after graduation, since I’ll have more time for art (FINALLY), so I have a few questions for y’all
- is this something you’d be interested in supporting?
- would you be interested in seeing my scientific art? fanart? original work (if it… exists…)? a mix?
- any interest in written content? about museum exhibit design? the sort of mildly amusing ecology/outdoorsmanship content I usually put here? that essay about survival situations for fiction writers I promised last fall but never posted because it got so absurdly long? other?
- or art livestreams? tutorials?
- what sort of rewards sound exciting? sketch requests? getting to see art [x] amount of time before the general public? exclusive art? ??
would there be interest in more journal-style humor comics about outdoorsmanship/ecology adventures? because that’s something I’ve also been considering for awhile (the fabled ‘original content’)
continuing adventures of non-rhotic accents and audiobooks: until I tried to google it, I was absolutely positive that one of Sir William Parry’s ships was named “The Heckler”
it was, in fact, “The Hecla”
the cause of death of basically all of british the arctic/antarctic explorers who died on their journeys was nationalism

OH BY THE BY I am now using discord on a semi-regular basis, rather than just having it and never opening the program, so if any of my mutuals are on discord and want….. well, more of my nonsense in your lives…. let me know!
I realize I’ve gotten a lot of new followers since the last time I blogged about a polar expedition book so uh. welcome folks, this is what you can expect here, icy death with a side of scurvy, and there will probably be discussion of survival cannibalism at some point.
……….enjoy.

@vimyvickers linked me to The Worst Object in the British National Maritime Museum’s collection, so I have to now share the pain.
