Happy birthday, Fight The Nothing. I may just have to stay up late and submit a birthday present.

It has been a crazy year. I got a big promotion, Adam got a great job and moved to Chicago. I regret the absence of art for almost 6 months of that year, and I don't think we'll see as much this year as we did last year. Without penalties and strict deadlines, it looks like about one new piece per week will be the new norm. Our intention is to make higher quality art with more time on hand. We still have the old habits of waiting until the last minute, but hopefully soon we'll be posting more developed submissions that make up for the lack of quantity.

I think I can speak for both of us when I say that we truly appreciate those who check up on us from time to time or subscribe to the blog. It really wasn't necessary to us to have an audience beyond ourselves, but I think it helps us strive to be better artists knowing there are people watching.

Thank you, and here's to another year of fighting the absence of creativity and art in our lives!
