Oh man, where do I begin with this year? Although your mileage may vary, mine was fabulous, with new and exciting things personally and professionally in the world of Two Gargoyles Comics!

Let’s begin with a summary:

Joining Substack was, I feel, one of the best decisions I made all year; the connection with other creatives has been nothing short of inspiring, and therefore invaluable!

Too, this year I connected with experienced creatives on a personal level as well as a professional one, and that has definitely expanded my horizons! I’m even working on a secret project with one of them (that I can’t talk about yet—this is my first “secret” project!) that excites me!

I travelled this year, to Chicago, New York, Santa Cruz and Denver, among others. Each trip resulted in learning, growth and expansion of what I had thought I was capable of to the discovery that there was more out there—that there is always more than we know!

I was invited to be a commentator on Wendy Pini’s most excellent Masque of the Red Death Blu-Ray. It’s a gothic romantic tale set in the future, a retelling of Poe’s short story with depth, heart, and horror. It’s exquisite and you should grab a copy or watch it on Amazon Prime Video!

Also, there was some company restructuring at the end of the year that consolidated my efforts and set me free to pursue bigger and better things in 2025, which lights a fire in my soul and makes me excited to look forward to the new year’s possibilities!

Happy 2025 to you all, may all the best and brightest in your world collide with the greater world out there, and benefit all thereby!
