Dear Patrons,
For this update, and to make up for my tardiness, I have provided a grace period to those who had canceled their DISCIPLE tier memberships late last month, so you should all be receiving this update. I will also announce that from next month forward, there won't be any more grace periods as I find myself spending a little too much time managing subscriptions instead of doing these drawings.
I will now only fulfil requests of up to one past newsletter prior to your subscriptions. I will also open the option for you to request a past newsletter they may have missed but for a small "donation" to make it worth my while and to avoid unreasonable multiple requests. I was thinking of of a small donation, perhaps $5 per NEWSLETTER UPDATE I think sounds reasonable. However, the longer you have been a loyal patron for multiple months, the more reasonable I will become with these requests. I'm always open to feedback. Just send requests to me via the contact form here with your account info. You may also email me or send me a message via Discord. I would love to know what you all think?
I hope this is reasonable as I need to find a way to mitigate the time spent fulfilling all these requests and also to promote uninterrupted continued memberships at the DISCIPLE level.
Once again, I will remind subscribers to check your spam folder if you haven't received anything. Some of you have heard this message I see as I've found some of my emails have been sent to your spam folders, so be sure to whitelist messages coming from my website.
September looms, and the temperatures shift from the heat from the literal climate, to the metaphorical heat of the socio-political discourse in the coming months, Forbidden Feast will always remain a safe harbor for those who'd like to escape the fire, and instead stoke your own flame on the hearth, warming a very unusual and unnerving piece of roast. Although, I must admit, this story may be slightly adjacent to that. But I will argue that it serves a much larger and timeless concept and not a narrow band that a lot of people seem to be focusing on right now. Remember, here, we delve into myths, legends, of histories that reach centuries and millennia into the past. And this tale is no different. I present to you a vignette from the project currently titled, HEADHUNTERS, pushed by a very valued subject who served as my muse for this project along with a generous sponsor, where the villains of the Old World devours our heroines of the New World.
Bon appétit!

I. THE PAINTED BIRD IN LOST CARCOSA (1 full color artworks for DISCIPLE members or higher and one of a variation of a similar scene for PUBLIC viewing)
-- Canticle of the Great Hunt of Carcosa led by her Master of Ceremonies --
Who is most delicious to the loyalists of Britannia? Who is most succulent to the King in Yellow and our God in Green?
A quarry strong in the chase, desiring freedom over all, relieved from all she held dear, flesh so infused with the essence of liberty, flesh who tastes so scrumptious. A daughter patriot of the New World.
Freedom bestowed. Freedom chased. Freedom conquered. Freedom a grand illusion to the Lady Liberty of the New World. Her domain, our dominion, re-designated into the Royal Game Preserve of Carcosa.
The King in Yellow. Our God in Green. Our Lady in Red White and Blue.
We hunt the strange meat, the wrong quarry, the sacred flesh, the divine trophy, we kill and dine, to spit at the face of the rebellion and their Gods. Where the Old World devours the New. Under the lengthening shadows in Carcosa.
All Hail Our King in Yellow. Our Queen in Red White and Blue. Song of her soul, her voice is dead, die thou, unsung, as tears unshed, shall dry and die in lost Carcosa.
As their World Above forgets. Our World Below remembers. We honour the sacrifice of the Hunt. We honour her endeavour for escape. We honour her beauty as our bounty. And we honour her death.
We Honour her Flesh of Red, White and Yellow.
All Hail to the Beast! All Hail to the Feast!
Hail! Hail! Hail to the Feast!
II. RELATED WORKS IN PROGRESS (2 x work-in-progress for DISCIPLE members or higher)

We revisit a scene from the past, the project called MAUSOLEUM. The second is of a yet untitled project, a butcher holding a slender haunch, while the third is of another old project that began as a commission, a dive into manga and a more animated style, called W.I.T.C.H. Hunt. More details of these and more can be found at the projects page.
IV. SKETCHES (2 sketches for DISCIPLE members or higher + 1 FREE to the public)
The first is a threesome scene from the DOOMED RAIDER storyline, of our fabled adventurer and her two lady companions. No men allowed here!
The second and third are of possible scenes from the upcoming THANKSGIVING IN THE CREMATORIUM project which is one project that will be coming soon, now that the festive season looms once again.
