Happy New Year!

Up until recently I’ve felt like a Chicagoan living in Florida, but now after almost five years I feel like I’m turning into a Floridian, complete with Crocs and a perma tan.

This might be the year we go back north, but it’s hard to weigh the pros and cons because the two places are so different. All I can say for sure right now is I’ll be happy either way.

Also today I can say with total confidence that this will be the year I finish Space Pops and present a coherent and finished product to the world. I’m almost ready!

Here is to a safe and productive 2026. Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

Last year Seaside went all-out with their holiday decorations. I really liked the way they lit up the iconic Coleman Pavilion. They also had some holiday-themed murals which were very festive.

I love how quiet and peaceful Seaside is in the winter, it's a totally different vibe from the chaotic summer crowds.
