 Good morning, everyone. Today I have decided that I am a baker. I bae... oh my god, that's much easier. I made this dough last night and then I put it in the fridge. And now I'm going to make some rolls out of it. Look at my bread, guys! It's looking... I don't know if it's cooked, but we're gonna find out! I'm probably gonna keep this pot up so I'm gonna keep streaming anyway and make a little video. So I'm just painting it in my new sketchbook. This is an MD Midori little sketchbook and I've been doing a lot of self-study stuff. So I've been doing a lot of like portraits from photos because I want to do maybe a autobiographic comic. I'm gonna do some painting in my little sketchbook here and hope that the sketchbook can handle what I put down, which it has done in the past, so it should be alright. It's like... there's so many bits of this painting that I really like, but then I keep looking and I'm like, oh no, that looks weird up there. Or like the clouds I'm not a fan of, so I'm gonna have to like do something about that, but like... It's one of those paintings where I feel like I could go on forever. Good job! Good job! I was trying to pull the colour over so you could see what I was mixing, but yikes! I used this whole situation and mess, but yesterday, or a few days ago, I got this book in the mail. This is by a good friend of mine, Sarah Milman, and it's called NPCT and it's about a tea shop in Cardiff, but there's sort of like demons and things all in it. Oh my god, I didn't even see this! Look how cool! This was a Kickstarter by her, so basically she's done loads of issues on this comic and now she's made like a... is it called a compendium? I think so. This is awesome. I love this bookmark. I actually need a bookmark. It's so awesome. And yeah, look how cool it is! It's beautiful. Super proud of her. She's been working on this for like a long, long time and yeah, it just arrived. So I can't wait to have a refresh and read all of these again. Really cool. So I will be using my bookmark in this book... this month's book read for our Patreon book club. At the moment we are reading Tomy by Junji Ito, but we're also reading Elatsue. I think it's how you say it, Elatsue, because we thought this was a bit of a short read. And some people didn't really fancy reading it, which is fair. But we have a voting system of what we're going to read. So this one won, so we're reading it. And I really like Junji Ito. He's a big inspiration for me. So it's really interesting so far. And if you want to know my thoughts, then join the book club! Okay, I am working on August's Patreon cards, postcards, prints, whatever you want to call them. This was a previous reward and I was thinking I want to try and get it to be this size maybe. I think that would look really cute to have like the same size so that people can put them side by side. So I'm going to start working on like maybe each print is this size. Yeah, so I'm just working on Photoshop now. I'm trying to get it to be this color because every time I scan it, it kind of comes out a little bit yellow-y, which I'm not really sure. I think it's probably my printer. But yeah, I'm trying to just fix that on the computer now and I'm going to do some tests and then print them out. So here are the test prints, but I'm not sure if it's too bright. It needs to be a little bit more pastel if we like compare the two. So I'm going to take the saturation down and then try printing them one more time. But yeah, I think this is very close to what I want. And yeah, they can go side by side if necessary, if people have them. Cute! Okay, I swear that I have been at this like all day long. I finally got the stickers finalized and the little cover for the stickers for the Sky Drop, the convenience store in the sky. And here are the stickers and a little receipt of the purchases, which I think is really cute. And this is the print, which is what the stickers are coming from, the convenience store in the sky. And I really like the way it is. Usually I go to a printer, a local printer, and I get them printed, but I really like the way that they turned out with me doing them because I kind of tested it. And I liked how I could control it as well because when I send it to the printers, locally sometimes they print it and I'm like, oh, not sure if I like that color. And then it's kind of too late to change it. But with this one it's like, okay, for instance, I've done loads of test prints and stuff, where I just tweaked the colors slightly and things like that. So here it's like, well, obviously it's printed over, but here are some of the stickers. And then what happened was I did some stuff in Photoshop and I think they turned out nicer with a little bit of different color and stuff. So they're much nicer. I am hand making all the stickers and laminating them myself and then cutting them out individually. Hopefully one day I will expedite this procedure, expedite it. What am I saying? I will get it done online. Hopefully maybe at the moment I'm just trying to save money a little bit and I think they still look really cute. So it just takes time basically and I've got the week off. I also made little thank you cards for my patrons that I want to add as well because I always felt like I was sending stuff off and not saying thank you. And then I've got thank you cards for my comics. I made these, which I think are quite a cute. And I will send those off with comic snap from now on. So I'm going to print a load more of those and cut those out, but I think they're cute. And I also have been trying to decorate the envelopes a little bit. And I think just that little stamp is really sweet. So I hope that all this stuff together will be really interesting for patrons to get. This is August's one and if you want to grab it, then you can. I do my patrons so you get charged the time that you sign up. So you will get that reward for that month. And yeah, I hope you guys check it out. I think I'm going to call it here for the vlog because I need to have this log up in a bit. So I'm just going to call it now and I hope you guys enjoyed it. Here is some mochi and kubu for your enjoyment.
