Thanks so much for a fantastic year everybody. As you know, I have so much planned for next year, and I can't wait to give back for all the support you've given me.
For now though, I wanna say thanks with a special sticker promo. Before the end of the year, I'm sending everyone in sticker tier 10 bonus stickers for al...

This month's issue stars Ivan, and follows a Day in his Job.
This is actually the first comic I've ever drawn! I've always wanted to make comics, but for some reason I've found the whole prospect too daunting to actually start. Thanks so much to you guys for making it possible, and I really hope you enjoy!
Next month we'll be back to A...
More from apple_toast this month, a gorgeous set of rectangular designs. These will go out to all sticker tier patrons, along with the RICO'S WISDOM sheet from last month!

An update on the October sticker sheet. The final will look more like this. Sorry for the delay, I had to head out of town last month, but this one's going out for print soon, and the November one will be revealed tomorrow as well!
All sticker tier patrons will receive both October and November in the same package this month.
New animated sketch where Rico goes to the doctor.
Thank you guys for encouraging me to animate this one! In the end it only took 1 week to animate, which is quicker than I thought. As always, this sketch was made possible by your patronage.

Had a crazy month, with a new comic and a new short coming out soon, but unfortunately the sticker fell behind as a result.
This month's sticker will arrive late, but here is its current incarnation. The final will come with funny speech bubble quotes to boot.

A discount theatre Halloween special!
Ivan tries to celebrate with a scary movie screening, but his night doesn't go as planned.
Sorry, no animation this time. It was cut to make time for the recent comic and upcoming sketch. Regardless, I hope you all like this special format. Should we do a scary movie every October? Let me ...

Introducing Day Job comics!
Been focusing lately on honing Day Job's visual style with the help of Apple_Toast. To keep the show's animation consistent with our vision, contracted artists will need a great deal of reference drawings and expression packs.
To that end, I figured the funnest way to build up a reference library for these...
2024-10-17 11:18:28 +0000 UTC View PostABC has finally announced the three winners of the 20-minute Fresh Blood pilots!
Granted, savvy viewers may have noticed that Day Job is not among them. But that's okay, because we'll have a little announcement of our own very soon...
And until then, fill the wait by watching this episode of Discount Theatre on constant loop. 2024-09-30 12:13:02 +0000 UTC View Post

2024-09-07 07:24:41 +0000 UTC View PostA new face this episode. Over the past couple months, Rowley's character has been fleshed out with the help of Donk-TK (Leo).
Leo's been on the animation crew since the Fresh Blood shorts, and often helps with additional animation for these patreon shorts too. Check him out on youtube if you haven't already, at 2024-09-02 11:21:10 +0000 UTC View Post

Everyone else including non-patrons can nab one from the patreon shop for $8 (free shipping).

I'm also considering making prints of this design. Please comme...
New improv cartoon, giving Hannah the spotlight!
This one took longer than I had hoped, but I wanna thank everyone so much for the support.
I've been 100% focused on making Day Job a reality, not only with shorts like this, but also with development work, and helping with the Animation+ marketing. I was recently given the chance to dire...
Everybody's looking for their soul mate. But they're also sitting idly on a couch so I don't think they'll get far.
Sorry for claiming this one would be longer than last one -- I decided to cut it down and retain some standard for entertainment value.

I love these!! This month's sticker sheet was made by guest artist Cafzka
Sticker-Tier patrons will receive this sheet, along with an extra Ivan 94 or Hannah 94.
Everyone else including non-patrons can purchase it from the patreon shop! All sales profits go to the artist.
Size A6 (14cm x 10cm.)

At 12 and a half minutes, today's episode is much longer than the last. So what this series may lack in animation quality, material, and comedic value, it makes up for in excruciating length. And the next one will be even...
2024-06-30 20:20:56 +0000 UTC View PostGreat news!
I know the "weekly" chronicle updates didn't last long, but the reason I had to stop was because I've been in secret talks with a TV network!

The patreon shop just got 2 new stickers: DAY JOB '95 (Hannah + Ivan)

These stickers are 4.5x4.5 cm, on a transparent square
UPDATE: The transparent square idea was an abject failure. They are now die...
Our first fully-animated sketch since launching the patreon.
You may notice a change in animation quality this time. We're still developing the style, and trying to get that perfect balance between appeal and scope. This one was animated entirely by me, with fully-traditional backgrounds by Apple_Toast, so we were able to make it match our...

Hope you're all enjoying this concept. The next ones will be much much longer, the type of video you can watch while doing chores, work or study.
Here's something that's been happening behind the scenes thanks to your patronage. It's too early to make an official announcement, but I thought it'd be good to give a sneak peek, and track the progress on patreon.

2024-05-25 05:09:45 +0000 UTC View PostFrom now on, you'll find every sticker available for purchase on the Patreon shop tab!
Since the shop isn't designed for physical orders, there's no way to charge separately for shipping. Instead, I've included the average global shipping cost in the price for each item.
Remember to inform me of your shipping address when purchasin...
Okay apparently it's not actually possible to list physical items on the patreon shop for whatever reason. Which means if you bought a sticker sheet, you were not asked for a shipping address, and I was not informed who made any purchases.
If you bought a sticker on the shop, please DM me with your postage address, along with confirmation...
Day Job art director Apple_Toast went crazy on this month's sticker reward! Damn.
