Hi, everyone, I have some cool news for you today! The cover of Status Royale Volume 2 was announced! 🥳 

» The game's not over yet. Vell is still behind in the chase to defeat Jun as he joins one of the top pro teams in the nation, the NYC Dollars. Can Vell and Team Guillotine level up in time for their next showdown, or has Jun become unstoppable?

Physical book release: February 11th, 2025

I’ll be tabling at Small Press Expo (Sept 14-15th) with my indie books and zines! I’m talking Saint for Rent, APPEAL!, and Aldric’s Letter Brigade! 😄 Be sure to stop by if you’re in Maryland that weekend for a smorgasbord of comics!

As always, if you’ve been curious about the process of making Status Royale, I keep a work journal on my Patreon and Ko-fi!

Patreon and Ko-fi are also where you can find my 2024 Summer Sketchbook in the Outlaw King tiers. 

We’ve got a lot of Status Royale concept art and illustration process this update, plus some fanart I drew while I was playing Honkai Star Rail!

Are you from Brazil? 🇧🇷 Did you ever sign up for Bluesky? 🦋 Or maybe you just want to check out all Ru’s socials? 📳 Well, when I’m not on twitter, I’m on there!

That’s all for this newsletter! Until next time! 👋
