I’m beyond grateful to all of you for your support with these projects. Making these things all by myself can be a lot of work— but oddly this past year has been one of most natural, fun states of creation I’ve ever found myself in, and I wouldn’t feel this way without y’all patting me on the head and blessin’ my heart every now and then.
