Happy Fat Tuesday/Paczki Day/Mardi Gras/Lunar New Year! Whatever you may or may not celebrate! I was delayed posting today due to needing to pick up my yearly pazcki from the local bakery. They're not 100% accurate to what they serve in Poland, but from talking to my Polish friend, I think due to the timeframe of when a lot of Polish immigrants came to the US (especially the Chicago area), a lot of traditional things diverged pretty hard. Like yeah, I could see that what's normal in the Polish diaspora around Chicago would not match what anyone in Poland today thinks is normal, because a lot of the people around here came over 50+ years ago. My dad's grandmother's family is Czech/Bohemian, and that wing of the family came to Chicago in the 1800s, so we don't retain much connection to Eastern Europe. But damn, I love a super fatty Polish donut.

Anyway, for anyone who's unfamiliar with Michigan, it's like, absolutely top tier for camping and outdoors activities. I really want to get up to the Upper Peninsula again, because I've driven through it, but I really missed out on the absolutely baller nature, especially off of Lake Superior. The Pictured Rocks lakeshore has gotten really popular due to Tiktok, I think, but there are some stunning views just about everywhere. There's a newish dark sky park that's only an hour and a half from where I live that I really want to visit when the weather is better, but they only open at night certain days, so it requires some planning.


In the meantime, please follow/support me on Patreon if you'd like to see art that I'm working on ahead of time, because that is mostly what I'm doing with my time off anyway. You can also download the Volume 1 ebook and the Kickstarter digital artbook, plus see whatever I'm working on ahead of time.

Tote bags, hoodies, tshirts, prints and mugs are all available in the Hivemill store! The hoodies are unisex sizing, but the tshirts run rather fitted, so I recommend sizing up! Book 1 is available in paperback and ebook format, as well as the merch from the Kickstarter :).
