When I don't have time to do a polished comic or if I'm just too tired, I often do a comic spontaneously. That means, without carefully planning, thumbnails, scripting and rough pencilling. Straight from my head to ink on paper. You'll find me doing this approach in The Ollie Comics when I had little time to do comics (You'll understand if you've had a kid.) The result is sometimes surprising and oftentimes fresher. The lines are more alive. It's like speaking from the heart, unrehearsed. Doing it the careful polished way has it's own merits. But this spontaneous way is what I fall back on when the choice comes down to do it quickly now, or there is no time to do it.
If you'd like to see how I did this comic from scratch to finish, I've done a video and post on this comic in my "secret" Patreon page . Yes, I'm finally announcing it here. I was keeping it low-key because I wasn't sure if I could commit posting a post every month, on top of create videos for youtube, a blog, work and kids. And also keeping art enjoyable for myself on top of it all! I don't want to burn out. So far, I've been able to slowly build it up month by month and have at least one post a month.

This Patreon page focuses mainly on comics and stories. In it, I'm posting work that requires more time and effort to produce, unpublished comics, together with videos that cover tips and techniques about comics and art in more detail. Most of the posts will be available to members only. If you'd like to join for month or so and then un-join, that's totally OK too. I often do that when I join an artist's Patreon page! My main hope and aim is that you learn lots and find the page worth visiting:)
