We’re knee deep in the holiday season. I’m also knee deep in a half dozen projects. The first is making the second difficult.
But it would be a sin to complain.
One of my favorite movies is Return to Me. Carol O’connor plays one of the main character’s uncle and he says this line that I always loved.
“I’m blessed with work.”
Look, I draw for a living and I’m fully aware of how rare and special that is. This job is stressful, and the business is unforgiving at times, but I’m always grateful for this life I get to live.
Thanks to all of you.
I got the new All City sketch zine and stickers in from the printers and they look awesome!
As a token of my appreciation to my Patreon’s VIPs, I’m personalizing the zines with a sketch.
They’re signed, numbered, sketched shipping out to all VIP Patrons this month.
Sticker Club Patrons will get the stickers, a temporary tattoo and some mystery stickers!
Just a reminder, Life Studied episode 17 is now free to watch!
The show is supported by the Blackwing pencil company, which make absolutely awesome pencils!
You can also get Blackwing pencils like the ones I use at my link: https://blackwing602.com/mikehawthorne
The new Hysteria comic is now available!
My kid’s Substack is fantastic and she just dropped her newest one.
It’s…crazy… makes me sound crazy, but worth a read!
Thanks everyone!
Best,
Mike
Wishing you and yours a very OMG Christmas!
