Is there any chance you could post your favorite panels/ drawings with Jack Horner in them? I like him way more then I should.
Great news; I just posted a bunch of concept art, including Jack Horner. I'm so glad you like him!!!!! He's an awful little man with a major chip on his shoulder because of his tragic past, and I REALLY enjoyed writing and drawing him. The good news is that if you like him, a LOT of my male characters have those traits, LOL. For example:
- Patrick from Saint for Rent
- Zephaniah from Aldric's Letter Brigade
- Gregoire from Saint for Rent
- Jun from Status Royale (he's Less tragic, it's entirely self-inflicted)

Aww, thank you! I'm so happy you've been enjoying it and my take on time travel! :D I miss the cast of SfR a lot, looking forward to starting the final arc when I have time to dedicate to it again!

What's the difference between the "standard" and "limited edition" versions of Saint For Rent V.2 in your store?
Hi there! :) Both versions are softcover books with French flaps. The difference is that the Limited Edition cover is printed on a holographic paper stock, and the book comes in a special gloss and foil stamped slipcase.
I posted a video of the Limited Edition Volume 1 on my instagram here!
For the very first time ever, the APPEAL! family silkscreen print is only $20! Only available until the 12th, while supplies last~ 🐺💖🦇
I'm still really happy with this design and the materials used~ The metallic silver ink sparkles on the thick red cardstock! It's so pretty in person! 🌟💫🤩

What’s up, tumblr, today I bring you tidings of a Kickstarter!
Well, it’s already here >> VOLUME 2 of SAINT FOR RENT!
Saint for Rent is my webcomic about a guy named Saint, who runs an Inn for Time Travelers. Friends and family drop by from different times in their lives for Saint to dote on. Unfortunately, he also seems to attract more… supernatural “guests,” too.
It’s been running for about 9 years (it’s the birthday month!!), and I successfully Kickstarted Volume 1 last year!
Intrigued? Let me tell you more! Come join us in making the next book in the series~ <3

Hello Ru!! I wanted to ask you about how you would feel about me possibly getting a sfr related tattoo (specifically thinking about armand's visa on his arm). Also if you had any references/drawings about the design of his visa, since the only images i have for reference I can find are various parts from sfr where the visa is visible and a few points in chapter 2 and if i did get this I'd like to give the person who does the tattoo a solid reference picture! Thank you!!!
Hi! Wow! First, I just want to say that it’s a huge honor that you’re considering my art for a tattoo, and I’m happy that you asked me first!
Regarding Armand’s Visa, wow, that takes me back to when I first designed it!
So, the circle design is a clock face. If you want, you can replace the black rectangle in the middle with a time or date that is significant to you. Similarly, the words that appear on Armand’s arm changes depending on where/when he Travels. Again, feel free to replace “Helen” with a name that holds meaning to you!
You can fudge the size and design however you’d like to make it look best to you.Time Travelers’ Visas are all fluid in design, and each is personalized to fit their Traveler as they go on their journeys across time.
Hope that helps! :)

HAPPY XMAS, RU!!
Since she got him safe in the mail today, I can show off the process of making this Saint doll for my buddy, ruem! He was sooo much fun to make!
Please check out Ru’s comic at http://saintforrent.com/ for more adorable, squishy, time traveling boys!
Thank you so much, he is adorable. I couldn’t believe it when I saw him in the package. 8v8)/ I love how generally content he looks about everything in life, such a little trooper! This wip is so cool to see! I’m glad he was surrounded by yummy food during his conception!
Also, it looks like you left out one of his most charming assets~
About 3 years ago, my friend made me a beautiful plush of the title character from my webcomic Saint for Rent! Every once in a while, people inquire about him and his well-being, so I thought I’d just reblog this from my SfR account for all to see~! :D He’s doing great and he has company~!
