Hey everyone!

I hope you're all well and staying safe. It's been both stressful here, but weirdly productive despite it all. I just finished another issue of a Marvel project, and I'm hoping to share more on that soon.

Till then, I have a new book to hold you over! My auto-bio comic Happiness Will Follow hits comic shops this week!

This book is a big deal for me, and I hope you're all check it out. The reviews have been excellent!

I'd prefer you get your copy from a comic shop, since they can use your support now more than ever, but if that doesn't work for you then try this link for several ordering options-

I’m incredibly excited to report that we hit a membership landmark over on my Patreon! We got to 50 members! With that goal met, I’m adding a monthly art live stream. It's gonna be awesome!

You can get in on the action for less than the price of a comic. This past week I added several Patron exclusive posts, including a new Q&A Podcast!

Marvel has been celebrating essential worker as part of their “Real Hero” initiative, you may recall I got to do a piece of art celebrating essential workers.   Well, I got to do a new piece in honor of my friend, Dr. Hyasmine Charles. Hyasmine is a front-line doctor and an amazing person!

Check out the process video here-

I salute ALL essential workers, thank you for keeping the country running during this scary time.

I love this Gumroad store and newsletter integration, but I confess it’s limiting what I can share and do.

I haven’t started publishing it yet, but I am planning a newsletter over on Substack what will allow more flexibility to share art, videos, etc.

So, keep an eye out for that...- https://mikehawthorneart.substack.com/p/coming-soon

As you know, I’ve added the new Drawing Cheat Codes to the mix over on my Gumroad store, but I wanted to remind everyone that I’ve kept the “No-frills” version too.

I know times are tough and that some folks have to live on a restricted budget. I don’t want that to be an impediment to learning to draw, so the “No-Frills” versions are set to pay-what-you-can.  

They may not be as pretty and have less material than the expanded version, but it can still help you progress in your art studies.

Oh, and just a reminder there is free domestic US shipping on my new sticker set! https://gumroad.com/l/dwVfF

Best,

Mike
