There is nothing better lately than bright skies and Santa Anas blowing in March. Does it mean that maybe there might be an El Niño year? Totally, but I will say I have been soaking it up lately.
Soaking up some time too. I have been in the throws of planning some Oakley events and finishing out some collections for 2026. Meanwhile, last week, I was summoned to a layoff meeting, and found out my position was terminated, starting at the end of the month. C'est la vie!
I have been diligently working to pay off my schooling and whatnot, during these periods of Corporate Creativity, and Kaleb is turning 17 this year, so I have decided to take some time and freelance for the year! Of course, if things come down to it, I would look for something more permanent. But for now, I feel excited and ready to take on some freelance again, and spend some energy working on projects more related to my own art.
I am thrilled to say the least, so keep an eye out for some of my projects I decide to roll out. I will be listing pattern licenses, some print at home pieces, and new art as much as I can!
