As I organize my archives, I’ve been rewatching some of my process videos recently. You’d think that, as the person who did the drawings, they’d be kinda perfunctory for me … but the truth is that I find them quite entertaining and even a little revelatory about some of my artistic and stylistic habits. And they’re just fun.

Thankfully, Procreate—the app I use for most of my drawing these days (no sponsorship or endorsement deals)—automatically generates these videos for EVERY piece I create using it. I’ve committed that the ones based on my drawings for this show will be exclusives for paid subscribers … but I’m thinking that maybe I should go back and get a few others and prepare them for posting on my YouTube channel.

What do you think?

Subscribers to this newsletter got to see this drawing early, whereas the general public are only just getting their first glimpses of it today. But there’s still something left that’s JUST for the paid subscribers—a process video showing the step-by-step creation of this cartoon homage. (If you’re currently a free subscriber, now would be a great time to upgrade.)
