Quick newsletter as I just finished up moving (it sucks but we're getting close) and still need to get all my things into place. This post is picture less as I type on my gaming pc and not my mac workstation with all my stuff on it. I apologize for missing out on last month's update! But, I have results from the latest art poll and it is Faith from Mirror's Edge! Thank you all who have participated!

I will be focusing on a freelance gig and the #hardcover illustration (due in a few days) before I jump back into VS and new illustrations. I also got into Anime NYC's Artist Alley this year for the first time! I have a lot of new improvements and plans for my setup/table, taking what I learned from ECCC and applying it there; more color prints (who knew colors do well, haha), a new banner/table-runner, portfolio binder for originals. I got some ideas brewing for a Severance print, GitS, and something for Otoboke Beaver. I have a strong feeling something Half-Life is coming out later this year so I want to jump on an illustration idea I've had for a few years now. A more time-consuming but def needed goal is a physical artbook.

I also plan to restock the Gordon Freeman keychains in my shop and I think it's about time Barney gets a new design/sticker/keychain as well as get a jump on TF2 merch. I'm worried about the tariffs on keychain production so we shall see.

There's so many projects/goals I want to accomplish this year. It's a little overwhelming, but I'm more excited for it!

Thanks for reading and the support!
