Into the New Year
11 years ago
2013 was an interesting year, which is a polite way to say it wasn't terribly great. There were high points, low points, and arguably the latter tipped the balance scales. However, ever optimistic, I have faith 2014 will be better. At the very least, I hope it will be interesting.
In the (near) future:
2014 does have an auspicious beginning--New Years with good friends, followed almost immediately by flying to Melbourne, Australia for ConFurgence. I am incredibly honored, and excited (and still a little humbly baffled) they've invited me out as a guest! :]
(Twenty minutes after arrival, you will likely find me with a James Squire in each hand and on high-spider-alert.)
After my short stint down under--you'll find me at FurtherConfusion, San Jose, in the Dealer's Room, with stuff in the art show, yadda yadda, et cetera, et cetera.
In the present:
Room Party Game:
The project turned into something wholly more awesome than expected. There will be more news in the next couple of weeks on that.
You can, of course, stay tuned to the website or Twitter for info and updates!
In the (recent) past:
Some other stuff, namely Nordguard, is on hiatus for the moment. Life, responsibilities, bad luck, injury, poisonous snakes, vampires, miniature ponies with tiny hats...some of that sprang up and bit me and I need a little mental repair. It's a pretty overwhelming project on it's own, and when paired with an overwhelming year, it becomes the Everest of ambition. Needless to say, there's some base-camp acclimating to do, oxygen tanks to order, Sherpas to bribe, and maybe some miniature ponies with tiny hats to find.
Cheers,

Hope you have a safe trip to Australia! Don't let the extremely dangerous animals bite! 8D Hopefully they can be inspiring for future Australia-themed art :)
I've nearly became homeless :(
I hope everything goes well for you next year
btw have a safe and joyful New Year and see at the con ^^
I hope your 2014 brings good fortune your way!
Weird that it's somewhat left behind despite its success. And it's clearly the most beautiful work you've ever done.
