Thank you for all the birthday wishes. I really appreciate the sentiment! Thank you especially to long-time watchers who drop by year after year for birthday greetings. You are wonderful! Welcome to new watchers, too. I hope I can continue to entertain.
I still have requests on my mind. I ran short of time in April with the household getting sick and then birthdays hitting. I'm carrying a big commission project right now and addressing other little ones that filter in over time. I also have a big project on which I really should get some work done before my conventions this year sneak back up on me ^^
I haven't really celebrated my birthday yet. I concentrated on my daughter's which is two days before mine. I think I'm going to roll my celebrate in to my wedding anniversary which is at the end of this month. SyzygySynergy and I have been together more than half of our lives now! I wouldn't have it any other way. He's truly my best friend. To celebrate, we're going to meet a group of friends at a local arcade and pretend it's the 80's :3 I wonder how strange it will be since we won't be plunking quarters. It's a pay per hour/free play sort of set-up. I hope they have Joust and Spy Hunter!
Everything here is in full bloom. The second wave of flowers is starting to fall and make ready for the berries and vegetable flowers. I planted blackberries and tomatoes in my back yard this year. I'm so excited to show my daughters how to enjoy the earth's bounty. Maybe one day we'll live in a place we can have chickens and goats, too! (so stinky!)

Re-introducing Patreon!
Still rolling with my New Year's Resolutions, I managed up re-work my Patreon! I've streamlined the number of tiers. Now we have sketch requests, commission discounts, and an exclusive character poll for a Patreon-only drawing every month! I'll be active with first look WIPs, sketches, videos, Q&A, and other surprises. If you enjoy my art, please help support my mission to keep it accessible for everyone.
NINJA MONKEY STUDIOS ON PATREON
Also, as I mentioned in my last journal entry, a children's book I've illustrated recently hit the market. It's available on both Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I hope you'll have a look! It was an absol
Our book is live!
I mentioned before in my journal that I've been working on a series of children's book illustrations, right? Well, now it's live on Amazon! How exciting!
DAISY GETS A BROTHER
The book is available for pre-order currently and releases February 1st. Thank you to everyone who supported me through the illustration process and to the author Fred who approached me with such enthusiasm for the project! This book memorializes his dog Daisy who passed last year and also celebrates their adoption of Daisy's younger brother Cody. The illustrations are cute and lively. I hope you will enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed creating it and collaborating w
Updates and Celebrates!
Next month will mark my 15th year on DA! Wow! And there are some of you have have been with me almost the entire ride. Thanks for hanging so long, guys! I really appreciate it!
So, the end of 2018 was fantastic for me. I got to strike another item off my bucket list and I illustrated a children's book. I'll be sure to post more info about that when it's available for sale, but it was a cute pet adoption story involving beagles. It was an absolute pleasure to illustrate!
I'm changing gears this year and backing off the comic a bit. I'm really going to try and retool things so I can sell physical copies at comic conventions, though the comic
