Not a question so much, but I sent you an ask on tumblr once over a decade ago to say thank you for making things, that a friend and I both loved poring over your work and talking about it together. So here's a follow-up! I've been doing a webcomic ever since then, clocking several hundred pages now, and your art has been one of the biggest single influences. I started out as a writer before I was an artist, until your and Muun's work on Sfeer Theory hit me over the head with how good the medium could be. For the last ten years, through all the different things you've worked on, you've been a regular reminder to up my game, to practice new things, and to trust I could learn what needed learning to tell the story I wanted to tell. Whenever I forget what it is I wanted my art to be when I started out, your work is one of the first places I go to remind myself. So, ten years later: thank you again.

I'm pretty overwhelmed reading this and not really sure how to respond, honestly... other than thank you for holding me in such high esteem and that my work is so meaningful and engaging for you and your partner, even a decade later... It's actually really lovely to know and hear that there are people who bond specifically over the art I make, that's really heartwarming.

Congratulations on your webcomic and passing such a high number of pages, that's not a small feat. It's flattering to know that I am credited with any part of helping inspiring your great work. I hope you keep making the art you want to make and it brings good things into your life.
