Yello friends,
Here's this week's Freddy, plus some sketchbook pages. I was sick for a couple days and I did a lot of drawing while I rewatched The Sopranos. I also did studies of some of Amanda Vähämäki's work. She's a Finnish cartoonist and maybe my favorite artist ever?
It felt really good to draw in my sketchbook, like, for fun. I don't really do that much anymore. I mean I guess it wasn't just for fun, because I have a new character in mind that I've been struggling to figure out how to draw. I keep landing on iterations I like, and then she changes again. It just hasn't really clicked yet. But I like where it's going. I also tested out drawing in pencil and then bitmapping it, and I kind of really like how that looks...I guess I'm sort of just waiting for her to show herself. I have a story in mind, but I feel like I need to get to know her character before I do anything.
Okay now for some business
-If you missed it, you can buy a pdf of some Freddy comics I collected on my Patreon store. Of course, as patrons, you can also just look at the collection and read them all!
-New tiers. The biggest change is that I am going to be sending out a little collection of Freddys every time I finish 24 of them, which is about every 6 months instead of every month like I used to do.
-all tiers will see the weekly Freddy and other posts
-$3 will get you pdfs of the Freddy collections as well as pdfs of any other comics I finish
-$5 will get you all that plus print copies of all of those comics in the mail
-$10 will get you all that plus a little drawing with your print comics
-$20 gets you all that and a yearly commission.
I hope this is okay with everyone! Please let me know if you have any problems with it.
Oh also PS!!! If you subscribe to Patreon through the Apple i0S app, DO NOT DO IT!! They charge you a 30% "processing fee"!! It's insane!! Greedy POS assholes.
Anyway, happy Wednesday, and Free Mahmoud.

I got it 10 times! Kind of a fun break from the usual single emails everybody else does.
