It's December
I write this at 4am, unable to sleep, after being read by my monthly horoscope:
Virgo
I want you to pick one creative project and finish it in December. Stop dawdling around and pretending that you are organizing your craft supplies instead of just doing the thing. Finish a poem, a scarf, or a table painting project. Pick only one. Once you have finished, I want you to get rid of the tools that allowed you to finish the project because you don't need them anymore.
I want you to look through your art supplies with the intention of using them instead of saving them. If you are committed to using any of them, actually use them and finish them. If you cannot see yourself finishing a tube of paint or an old ball of yarn, get rid of it.
So this is me finishing a project: sending a newsletter with some updates.
Ending Patreon
The patreon is ending. I have really enjoyed the monthly grind of coming up with a print and shipping them out. But it's become kind of a grind. I might bring it back in the future in some form but for now I want to focus that energy somewhere else.
Patreon Print Archive:
- Generative Print: Every Frame a Plot
- Generative Print: Voronoi's Monsters
- Generative Print: Infinite Arches
- Generative Print: Wavy Circles
- July Prints
- June Prints
- May Prints
- April Prints
- March Prints
New Mediums
I'm thinking about working in new mediums: wood blocks, image manipulation and gifs.
Bi-Weekly Newsletter
I'm shifting this newsletter to bi-weekly. Similar to the Patreon I want to loosen the frequency with which I work. Coming up with 2 newsletters a month is a lot easier than 4.
Short and sweet. Thanks for reading along folks!

P.S - I am writing you at 11pm a few days later once this has been edited and actually finished.
P.P.S. - I discovered this concept of an algorithmic ancestor. Could you imagine if @goodgraphicsxyz continues tweeting until my Great Grand Niblings find it?
