Big year, stressful year. I wish I had been more productive and made more new work, four of my best nine are older favorites. With the book done and out it's time to close the chapter on what has defined me so far, refocus and push into new territory. Thank you all so much for your support! It's meant so much to me, I hope to delight and horrify in the year to come
