I have a huge backlog that's never been hosted on this site, but instead of spamming all of it at once, or even posting ALL of it here... I might as well just post my favorites and relevant art as well as TRY to post my newest drawings when I finish them.

If you want to see my current catalog of art, you can always subscribe to my Patreon or Subscribe Star, or check out my Pixiv for all my free posts.

This is less an advertisement and more "If you really want to see more of me, check out those sites!!!"

This is actually dumb as hell, and I just want to put something down to get the other blog post off my "Latest News Post," stand.


Basically on tumblr I had a porn alt blog called "Tasty Clean," yeah you can think about it as someone drinking cleaning fluid to clean themselves out. Kinda edgy but it was more tasteful since the idea wasn't you dying, just more feeling refreshed because.... Well I don't know, porn? Anyways it was a lot of fat women which has nothing to do with anything, but it was the alternate to my actual art account which, at the time, didn't have porn.


When I started drawing traditionally back in 2017 it was mostly a way to keep sane, and draw really plump pin ups. Yeah 6 years ago isn't a long time for most adult creators, but I was also 22 when I started. Late bloomer, what have you, but it was a way to keep sane. Back to "Tasty Clean," you can probably already figure the flaccid punchline here being the connection between Tasty Clean and Yummy Goods, the idea that a cleaning fluid isn't yummy or good, but it is a good as a product...


So as I started drawing safe things I needed a place to put them so people could see my progress and bang, Facebook- so I can get terrible comments from people I didn't give a shit about that I only added because we were in college and had the same job together. Discouragement aside, I still did this shit for me and I was insanely happy with my fast progress. I was posting on Tumblr with my safe art, and people enjoyed it at a whopping 5 notes a post. But- As soon as the porn ban happened on tumblr, I scraped all the names I had from there and redistributed them to what I was currently doing. Even though I wasn't drawing porn, I always looked at it because who the fuck doesn't?


Yummy Goods already had a logo thanks to me loving to create logos and the notion to start a subscription service under that followed. The first instance of me using Yummy Goods as a brand for myself was more for illustrations, and a test of what NFC (The things Amiibos have in them) business cards were like. But Yummy Goods as you know it today was an expansion, no pun intended, of my porn/pinup art being encapsulated under one banner.


Every single site I had had a different name, JarringMange, LatulaLover, hell I even just used aspexParsec once or twice. So I needed a banner because I was never going to get "YummyGoods" as a name on most platforms. Like not even this platform!! It's being parked right now by someone who isn't even fucking using it! Exaggerated aggression aside, Yummy Goods, my thing that already had a logo, was the perfect tie. Patreon had the username available, Subscribe Star years later did too--


And now here I am. After an amazingly designed logo, if I do say so myself, I'm Yummy Goods. From bleach drinking joke to artistic umbrella... I'd say I'm embarrassed about the origins being a bit edgy but this is Newgrounds, I think you don't need a mirror to understand how ironic that'd be. Well, I also told you this was going to be stupid and it was. A lot of rambling with pointless history thrown in just to hear myself talk. It's fun though, this is what blogging is all about.


Cat-cha later.

Not only is the the obligatory "My First Post," post, this is also a mixture of melancholy and wistful new beginnings.


It's hard to place my actual feelings when it comes to the death of Twitter. And yeah, that shit's in the morgue with a toe tag I called it way early. I know everyone is sick to death, especially within the last year, hearing about that website. I get it, I really do. But it was also an insanely easy way to go through new artists and then see people's shit. No need to tag anything, which made it incredibly lazy to just post and leave and then play the slots. The slots were addicting.


I'm not saying tagging is bad, don't get me wrong, I want to discover shit through tags I enjoy. The real pain in the ass with a new website or revisiting one after not using it for so long is the actual culture of discoverability is something I have to discover, funnily enough. Same shit with Tumblr, this website, etc etc. The real answer is to just carve your own path and hope to god someone finds you eventually if your entire goal is just to be scene. Thankfully my goal is just to get shit out there because I like it because I like my art and I love drawing.


The art I do is pretty much for me first when it comes to most of my free drawings. A lot of art I do for subscription services is a treat to those who pay me money, and it's not what I pour the most of my soul into. It's like the difference between a test and actually having your hands out to craft. Paid content, fan art, that's a test. How well do I draw, how well can I take apart something someone else designed, make it my own and have it be recognizable. Yeah it's all fetish art, you can boil it down to that and say offs to ya, but to those who genuinely don't give a shit, no matter what you're making it's going to be either a test, or your craft. I love doing art, that's all that matters to me, test or craft.


Why Newgrounds? That's a question I asked myself, not something that people proposed to me. I've been told that this site can get "toxic," or vile when it comes to the way people interact with others. Another response to that was "It's so easy to tell people to fuck off and they do," which made me laugh and just bite the bullet. I don't expect a warm welcome, especially since I'm treating this site like a safe haven from a nuclear bomb rather than coming here with open arms. That sort of invasion due to circumstance never is something people are happy to see in most cultures and most circumstances even in the real world.


I just hope people see what I do and know that I care about what I make, and that I don't really care too much about what others think. I do art people categorize as fetish art and I'm okay with that if it allows me the freedom of exaggeration, sexuality and expression. Even if my art is very sexual in nature, the intent behind it is such as well, I just don't care what people think as long as I'm free to enjoy my creations. Thank you everyone. Enjoy my art or not, thank you for having me here.


Sure a lot of this will probably read as rambling but, stream of conscious and that nature is a very free expression of speech and thank you for allowing me to do that. Cya around!
