The production of the shirts has finally started. I'm predicting this may take 2-3 weeks to fulfill.

In these last 2 years, the time I spent in between work sessions involved contemplating what my next steps would be after completion. I never imagined there would be this many delays, and candidly, some of that was caused by necessary lifestyle changes - but also, my inability to adapt to them. "Blood/Stone God" was certainly a casualty of that, but I want it to be the last of its kind (in other words "do better"). For that reason and many others, I believe the end of this project will mark the end of this era of my business as I transition into a new one. I am going to retire block printed shirts, and this will likely be the last design I create.

Arriving at this conclusion gives this project more meaning for me as an artist, but it also gave way to self-induced pressure and perfectionism. I'm curbing that as I bring this to a close. I have to remind myself that it's just a shirt. But it's your shirt - one that you bought a long time ago.

I value my customers. I value all the people I've interacted with in the process, and I want to send you something of quality that shows it.

But it's also a shirt. So, time to work.
