As another year comes to a close, it’s once again time for the customary recaps, rewinds, and retrospectives, and here’s mine. I can say that of all the years, 2024 has been one of them. It’s actually been a pretty good, if very busy, year for me personally, but creatively it’s a bit more complicated.… Read more »
I can hardly believe it’s almost 2024! I thought this would be a short recap, but once I started going through it I realized there’s actually quite a bit to go through, so let’s dive in.

This is the end of the line for Project Katana. Though I announced it in April, I’ve actually been working on it on and off for almost two years now. Finally, I’ve decided to drop it entirely. There’s a few reasons I’ve decided to call it quits. I’ve never been able to nail down what… Read more »
