2016 was a pretty turbulent year for me: my physical/mental health hit an all-time low and several of my relationships came completely undone. Without a doubt, it was a pretty Awful time, but I’m incredibly thankful for a lot of things that happened over the past couple of months. 

I’ve been able to meet so many incredible people through my work. This was my first year approaching pixel art seriously and it’s already opened so many doors for me. I just want to take the time to thank everyone for their incredible support throughout the year.

Special shoutouts to:

• @ArcadeHero-  for scouting me in the first place and being a great reference for pixel art.
• @bit & @totty,- for being my first patrons and for always going out of their way to encourage me.
• @ozoneorange - for always popping by my streams and drawing really great art and shaming me for my terrible quotes.
• @VicariousE- for being one of the first people to stop by my news posts and show me around Newgrounds.
• @Template88- for being a solid Art Friend and being part of my first big collab ever.
• @PhantomArcade3000 - for being the first NG-er I met in real life whoooo also an all around cool guy or whatever.
• @fushark- for just being a great person and an incredible source of inspiration. Just always available as support whenever I need him.
• @tomfulp - for making all of this possible in the first place.

It's a little silly, I know that the calendar is an abstract concept or whatever, but I'm really excited for the new year. I've got a lot of things in store for Pixel Day coming up (it's gonna be my day guys) and I've been working on some projects recently (including helping Phantom with his latest cartoon oooooooh). I might not be updating as often, but I plan on bringing more polished and ambitious works to the table.

Thanks to everyone who has stuck by me the past couple of months. Your support means the world to me.
