I bought this *vintage* cherry murakami speedy a couple months ago, had the pic sitting on my desktop forever. I can't wait to use it this summer.

I recently had my first mochi donut. Can you believe that? I even took a picture of them and made this little blend to truly capture the memory.
With the introduction of my Captain's log, I no longer need an updates page. Plus, I was really bad about putting my updates in here. From this day forward, updates page will now be microblog. I feel like there's less pressure to post in the microblog. I've been going through my folder of incomplete pixel art trying to finish things that have been sitting in there for a while. One of my goals this year is to finish all the unfinished art that I started in 2022/2023. There's a lot to get through but I'm making progress. This ramune bottle with seahorses was actually supposed to be part of a layout that I started last summer. I lost steam on it and then ended up going in a different direction months later
I'm also working on a Hollow Knight fan site called Hello Nest. It's not really close to being done in terms of content but I might go ahead and launch it anyway. Build the plane as it's flying.
I got a new job a couple of months ago which has lead to the lack of updates on this site. I've also been spending a lot of my free time working on my etsy shop. I won't spam you with the link again as it's linked in the post below. I have a couple icon packs for phones and some twitch badges up right now. I'd like to get back to posting more specific content on here. I do miss it. Here are a couple new things:
I forgot to include this in my last update but I started an etsy and currently have a cute pixel iOS/Android icon pack for sale. I'm very proud to say that I've already sold 5 of them! here's a link to my etsy store in case you are interested!
I've been busy with life stuff so I haven't been as dilligent about putting my updates in here. I've been re-working a lot of my old pixel art. Here are some before and afters of some isometric re-dos that I've done lately:

I also made this vegas style wedding chapel:
I've been lacking inspiration lately, but at least these little buildings have been so satisfying to make! Hopefully, I'll break out of this block and make some non-isometric art soon!
Not me slacking on the updates again *eyes emoji*. Here's what we've got since the last update
I'm still working on the HTML and CSS tutorials. Hopefully I will be able to finish those some time in the next few weeks.
I cleaned up some word salads that I had thrown together when I first opened the site. I like making art much more than I like writing and don't spend as much time as I should on text content. I also combined some redundant pages and added a little bit of pixel art. My favorite thing from this update is this little castle I made based on a toy I had as a kid.
I'm really bad at updates so a lot has changed since October and now. I have added many pages of content, made a new layout over the weekend, which I will need to re-code for mobile but we will cross that bridge when we get there. I do want to show the progress I've made over the last 3 months with my pixel art.
It's really motivating for me to see that I'm making visible progress in my artwork and I hadn't really noticed until I was clearing out some folders today. Anywway, here are some clubs that I've joined in the last couple of months
Here's what I'm currently working on:
I'm also going to make it a goal to update at least weekly from now on if I'm actively working on the website.
I haven't been adding my updates to the log at all recently but there have been too many updates to name, I've separated sections of the site, added new artwork, links etc. I will leave you with a cute kitty I recently made for a halloween contest at Pixel Garden MB
I finally wrote my about page, also added some new pixel art, a couple buttons and added some things on my link page.
