New Year's Resolution
Been a while since I posted about this, but my top new years resolution is to promote this more, try to get some attention on it, and hopefully start selling some prints.
Remember the art I was sharing months ago in the generative art thread? I've been working on getting prints up on Etsy and the site that I created for it. Was hoping to have had it up before Christmas but so many things are time consuming: mockups, print configs, etc. There are hundreds and hundreds of hours in this by now, and 18+ months of slowly getting to this point. I didn't even have my eyes on selling prints until this past May, and all of this has been one of the most fun things I've ever taken on.
https://www.shapeandplace.com
https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShapeA…Kind of soft-launching it right now, adding new prints, trying to get up to 15-20 on Etsy. I'm printing with a company called Artelo in Kentucky, and they're AMAZING. All the print tests I've gotten have looked fantastic, and I landed on Epson Somerset Velvet, which is close enough to Hahnemuhle German Etching paper I loved the most. It's just too expensive. The Epson paper is great, has a nice texture, and really brings out the paper textures I'm using in the images.
Go have a browse, give me a follow. If anyone wants to buy anything, I'll do a 10% off QBN friends coupon, since many of you were so encouraging of what I've been up to.
I'm excited to see where this goes and do even more with it. I'm planning on adding canvas prints next, and if I start getting traction in 2026, adding other products like fabrics if it makes sense.
- i like how you show a variety of what the print would look like in different environments. those are AI, right?pr2
- Very cool.mort_
- Now a book and online course on how to get rich from your side hustle and cha ching!mort_
- Thanks everyone!mg33
- Pr2. Nope - mockup packs with smart objects in PS, and a site called Canvy. They might make stuff with AI but it's all a manual process for me.mg33
- It's the most time consuming part of it all to be honest.mg33

New Year's Resolution
I'm going to stop being such a fuckin' pussy, starting with tonight.
Got invited to a NYE party in Culiacan.Despite all my common sense + the locals telling me not to go even go near the capital city of a current ongoing drug war in Mexico especially in the truck that I drive, I'm driving up there alone as soon as my laundry is done.
I'm not telling anyone I know because they're only going to try and talk me out of it.
- u only have to move faster than the bullets if things get intense....its not that difficult.neverscared
- In Sinaloa nonetheless. Good luck.NBQ00
- Alive?jagara
- I survived and had a great NYE, best decision ever!YakuZoku
- I like this.brothernoah

My longest/best friend passed away over the weekend, it's the first close death I'm experiencing in my adult life and though he had been sick these past few years and had a few hospital stays, we were waiting for the new miracle treatment he was going to be given next year that would solve everything.
He had spent most of his life taking care of others, and i was looking forward to him feeling better soon and starting a new chapter that would be a bit more about himself and his own wants and needs.We msged the day before after I had called and msged a few times during the week with no reply. The holidays are a stressful time for us and I knew he was traveling and not alone so I didn't think much of it. He was very tired and not feeling well enough to talk. Told me he was trying not to end up in the hospital for NYE. I thought it was another episode and that he knew what was best for him, that I should let him get some rest as he would always recover from those, and that I really hoped all would be solved next year. I don't know if he knew what was happening.
Despite being an atheist myself, I still hope we remain connected somehow, for him to be able to enjoy sights, experiences or thoughts I would usually share that I knew he'd enjoy, and hope that when I'll think of him it will reach him in a way.

My family and I were up in New Hampshire the past few days for a snowboarding trip to Loon Mountain. On Sunday I took my two boys (13 &11) out on a cold but beautiful sunny day. My younger son was having a hard time last season going heel to toe on his board - which is really the core of snowboarding. Once you have that skill mastered, your learning progression is much faster. Happy to report he was heel toeing like a pro from the first run on. We even found ourselves on some classic East Coast steep and icy runs. Loon is nothing like the big mountains out West, but for the East coast, it's legit and I'm so happy for my boys to have crossed the hurdle into the next stage of riding.
The weather (sleet) was awful yesterday so we ended our trip a day early and made the 6+ hour slog home on icy interstate highways.
