Always a giant source of inspiration and great ideas that leave me with more questions and thoughts.

LOVE Charlie Harper. I feel like he's one of those artist that has made such a huge ripple and can spot his influence everywhere. Also, his work always makes me wish I was more creative.

Your "Big Fat Caterpillar" animation and illustration is great. Just captures all the fun and energy.

This new badge looks great. I'm all for whatever makes you happy as far as the layout. I have no doubt that the designer in you would make it look great but I also love a messy creative process. I was just reading about Design Systems and one point that I liked was that design systems are good if they take care of the boring stuff, so you (the artist) can spend more time on the creative. So maybe a mix a both?

We also have a fiddle leaf and it has come to my attention that they are really fiddly but yours looks like it's doing well!

Thank you again for sharing all this wonderful work and inspiration!

Thanks, Matt! I like the idea of systems taking care of boring stuff and it makes a ton of sense. We actually have three fiddle leaf figs and all three of them were on death's doorstep this winter but luckily held on. They are indeed fiddly. Thanks for the feedback!

I do notice your layout as well as your content, and I am totally in favor of variety.

Some consistency in text throughout is desirable, but different headers and graphics make

my eye keep moving, instead of stalling out. It’s supposed to be fun, right? Thanks for

all you give us!
