This has been a very busy year, even for the lockdown and all.
And I just recently realized it's been 2 years on patreon. Crazy. I hadn't realized it had been that long.

Well, this year we got into a journey via Little Maps, which I showed previously.

This is part 5.. oh wait, I never posted part 4. Ok.
Well, that actually works out ok, as part 4 figures into part 5.

Ok. Then first we need to visit the treehouse, before the island.
Though they are both islands. ;P

In April, I released the Treehouse. Thomas' daughter wanted to see a map with some flowers.
So I brought some flowers. And a treehouse.
And a house for the parents, so a little one wouldn't feel alone up in the treehouse.

I've gotten into doing variations and alternates lately, for patreon.
It seemed very challenging at first. It's definitely a bit more trouble when they are traditionally done pieces, as opposed to fully digital.

Then the next location was the larger island that the treehouse was part of.
That's May's project. Currently available are the daytime 4 seasons variants, with and without a 10' grid.
I tried a 5' grid, but it was way too small.

There are more variants to come. I have a number of them done, including weather and night variants.

Ganet is the badger fisher fellow who took us out in his boat from the beginning of the Journey series.
I hope everyone is doing well.
Stay safe and healthy, and have a great week. Cheers, J
