QUICK! Before This Decade Is Over!!
6 years ago

"Let me tell you a sad, sad story..."
Hey there.
It's been awhile ^^;
I hope the close of this decade finds all of y'all in good health and standing.
I currently have a cold, but everything else is mostly normal.
Things feel like they've been flying past like crazy. This was the first year that I did not create a Christmas sketch for MitM since its inception.
Kinda bums me out honestly.
I've spent most of this month relentlessly completing a Christmas project for some friends IRL.
At the end of November I had the "bright" idea to make custom mixtapes for several of my friends that share my strong passion for music. I was aware that a few of those people didn't actually have a tape deck (I mean, why would they?), so I came up with a plan. I would record music from my (fairly large) vinyl collection onto my laptop, mix the songs on my computer to be one continuous mix (songs blend seamlessly), plug my computer into my tape deck, record the (roughly 45 minute) MP3 onto one side of the tape, repeat process for side 2, create hand drawn artwork for the cassette J-card covers, upload the MP3s to a website I created for this project, AND write on the cassette the URL to visit to download each tape.
I wanted to do 12
I barely completed the 9th on Christmas Eve.
I may have been a tad too ambitious.
Anyways, y'all are more than welcome to give 'em a listen. The track listing is only on the back of each cassette, so you'll basically have to go in blind listening. Also all the tapes are basically eclectic as shit, so I don't really know if they're super approachable apart from who they were initially curated for. But by all means be my guest and tell me if you find any keepers though ^^

Why am I mentioning this here?
I don't know.
I guess I'm just kinda trying to prove that I have been doing stuff, just not much on FA. Also if something like this catches your fancy, give me a shout, some music ideas, and maybe you'll convince me to make ya one.
Oh. Also I posted a (huge) update post on the MitM blog.

It's more about my life over the last decade rather than specifically about MitM though.
I have missed FA. I have several graphic design practices that I've been stockpiling, so I'll make sure to post those soon.
Till then, have a good holiday.
Cheers to 2020

Yknow the usual lol
Hope your New Years is great though
I'll make sure to go check out your artwork that I've missed these last few months ^^
I had a really crappy New Years last year, but I think I'll just go get drinks with some friends, smoke some weeeeeeed, and just not worry too much about it :P
Just been drawing a lot of gore and whatnot
I've considered trying my hand at drawing some creepy stuff before, but I've never really gotten around to it :\
Doing something in the style of a classic horror movie poster might be fun, but I'll see if I can do some simpler sketches first
Thanks! And I hope you're having a good time this holiday season as well! ^^
