Turning 23, and some musings
7 years ago
I've completed my 23rd revolution around the sun! Mandatory celebrations are ensuing.
You might've noticed that this account continues to be very quiet. I've been a little busy with my graduate work, but I've still had plenty of free time - so what gives?
Ultimately, I think I've decided that I'm just not cut out for general commission work right now. I have a few outstanding pieces (commissioned by very patient people!) that I've been prodding and poking at for quite some time now. I've found it simultaneously hard to work on that work, and hard to work on other work while paid commissions are left unfinished. The end result has been a completely unacceptable delay for my commissioners, as well as a general drought of content.
So, with that in mind, I'm going to suspend public commissioned work for the foreseeable future, and also offer refunds for anyone who I have outstanding work for, in full. If commissioners are still interested in my work, then I'll hang on to the in-progress drafts for when I eventually get back to work.
With that in mind, I'll also be devoting more attention to my pet projects. Stroll and Feast both need love, and I have a third browser game cooking somewhere in the background as well - more on that later. I'm also going to explore returning to audio work.
There's a lot that I want to do, and I'm hoping that sorting out this lingering mess I've made for myself will help me to bloody well do it. Stay tuned - if all goes well, there'll be some fresh content before long.

I still like Stroll a bunch, your changes to both your browser projects are fun to follow, and make suggestions for.
Is your birthday fun this time? It should be, if I could infect and control you for it I'd have you eat some nutty banana bread. Have a great celebration anyway.
