Hello — Hope life is going well for you! Life has been moving along here. I've almost gotten Becoming Visible: Frida completed. I've been tweaking on it here & there, and hope to reveal the completed piece soon.Those on my email list always get first looks & first dibs, so if you're not on it already, you can sign up here, and then keep an eye out for that. I'd like to say it will be by next Friday, the 25th (Which is also my birthday! Yes, it falls on Black Friday this year, but let's not read anything into that lol.) We...
