Friends, I don't know how this is going to happen, but we don't have a choice. I have officially accepted orders for three events happening on the same day, and another one a week after, meaning I'm working simultaneously on four big orders right now. I get very excited when this happens, and it's not …
Oh. Em. Gee. you guys! I just found the deepest YouTube black hole I'm about to fall into head first, and possibly never come out of. Most people don't know this about me, but I spend a good amount of time on YouTube, half as a hobby, and half as work/research. Since I work in …
