Some months feel like the work flows steady. Others — it’s job after job, call after call, no time to even put the hammer down.

March was that second kind.

A few big projects landed out of nowhere. Sky Girls Zed reached out — a project I’ve worked with before — needing design help after their in-house creative stepped away. It’s a brand doing good things — trying to build positive influence for young women in this part of the world. Happy to jump in and help.

Deadlines were tight — one-night turnarounds, 1-minute animations built in under 8 hours (with a little help from the AI toolbox). It’s good work — but the waiting game on payments is never fun. It’s part of the trade — fast hands, slow banks.

On the brighter side — a very big client reached out. Could be a game-changer. Feels like the kind of project that shifts the weight of things. We’ll see.

Somehow even managed to squeeze in a podcast with another creative — talking about the ups and downs of working in this world. The late nights, the good clients, the bad invoices, and why we keep showing up anyway.

The whiteboard’s full. The calendar’s packed. But that’s the way I like it.

The Forge stays hot.
