037: After the Party

☕️ I’ve been away from the studio for a week. Spending time with my family. It’s been a splendid time, and now I’m back in the studio. I’m kickstarting my return with a 12-hour deadline. Then I have another 10 days to hit another two deadlines, with a third trailing soon after. I’m wrapping up a very successful year. And at the moment what ‘successful’ means is having a lot of work. And that means working a lot.

Working outside the studio

I know I have a particular project that is due on Christmas Day. Because of the time difference, my Christmas Night is their Christmas Morning. So as I start spending a few hours working on this in the last hours of Christmas, I know I’ll be able to ship it on Christmas day.

I have been working on it in my head over the 5 days I’ve been on break. Moving it from a brief to an idea to a final concept that now just needs to be illustrated. I’ve done the hard part, now I get to do the fun part.

PS: I’ve given a number of my most engaged free readers over the last year a complimentary subscription for a month.

Merry Christmas!
