A new style... and Twitch is live!
Hello!Josh has been having playing with drawing in a different style on his iPad (he usually draws everything the traditional way, using a pen and watercolour). I thought those drafts were really cool - they're so different from his usual style, yet somehow retain his "touch"! See for yo...

Out for a walk
Last week when I went out to get bread, I was practically tripping over birds! In the space of about 20 minutes I saw ELEVEN (!!) species of birds! (!!!) Most of them winter in the area and none of them are particularly rare, but I was sort of floored by the biodiversity that can exist within a city...
Finished Bunny Comic
Took me a while to be satisfied with the way this one looked, but here it is! :)- Joshua
A bunny update. Plus, how do you feel about streams?
I said you could look forward to a bunny comic this past weekend, but it's taking longer to paint the bunny than expected! Josh spent all day on it today (and a bunch during the weekend too) and I think he's just really enjoying painting a million different little lines. He drew this one big...

Hourly Comic Day(s)
This past weekend, it was February 1st. Like every year, this meant that it was Hourly Comic Day! And like every year, Josh had forgotten about it until the morning of. Haha!He hasn't always followed it (it can be hard to clear out a whole day to just improv-draw when you haven't planned to)...

New year, new tools

🚨 Changes to giveaway 🚨
So, someone brought to our attention that doing giveaways and raffles are actually against Patreon's terms of service. Because of the nature of a raffle, it's essentially a lottery, which promotes gambling, and is therefore not permitted here. BUT! We still want to give away fun prizes at th...

Inktober prompts #22-31
The final Inktober prompts are here, and they're great! I'm really proud of Josh because he hasn't fallen behind or dropped the challenge this year, despite setting a really high bar for himself (he can be a bit of a perfectionist, and those lines are time-consuming). It's exciting t...

We're halfway through October, which means the trees are putting on a magnificent colour show here in Southern Ontario, and that Josh is almost halfway done with Inktober! It's taking a lot of time (~3h each day) but he says it's really good practice for black and white paintings, and th...

Vote for the next False Knees T Shirts!
Hi Patrons!It's been a hectic few weeks here at False Knees Corp. I got really sick with a stomach bug for a week, and Josh has been suffering from tendonitis in his wrist for the past month, which is really scary for an artist! I think it's mostly due to the Apple mouse he's been using,...
Plein air paintings and Beaver sketches
Hello Patrons!! ❤️Last week, Josh was out on a fishing trip in Northern Ontario with some of his family. As you might have guessed from his comics, he is quite the animal lover, so he didn't fish much - but he made tons of paintings while he was on the boat! To make these he went straight to...
