I wish I had a good excuse for not posting in so long. The truth is I simply felt the need to hide away from the world for a little while while I let things brew. I wish I could say that I have been super productive in my absence but it has been a slow process of reevaluating what I want to make and why I want to make it. So far I don't have any enlightening moments to share. Well that is not entirely true. They occur, and then as time passes life's distractions (work, family, friends, etc) make the certainty of those revelations seem unstable or unlikely. So here is what I have decided: life changes to quickly to try and define who I am, what I make, and how I want to be perceived. Therefore my new goal is to simply live in the moment and pursue whatever passions strike. Lucky for you that means I am ready to share what has been going on the studio and would greatly appreciate any feed back or critique. Thanks for indulging me.
