Ok, no excuses. I legitimately thought I shared this month’s member exclusive already, but nope; I never hit the publish button. Without any further delay, I present Plastered Volume 1. Will there be a Volume 2. Maybe; time will tell, but I have plans to do a day in Los Angeles, which always brings good material opportunities.This update comes from a fu… Read more

I overhauled the front page of my website yet again. That’s three times just this year, but the last version felt off. My mom actually told me she really liked the way it looked, but there was a big problem with it that she couldn’t see because it was hiding behind my giant melon.My brain was getting in the way, only because I couldn’t find the focus of what I was trying to share with visitors.

It’s nothing more than personal turmoil, I promise I’ll be alright, but circumstances kept me from making much of anything and I’m tired of running around for the sake of others (more to that story that you’re just going to have to infer on your own).
