Yet Another Belated Birthday Journal

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to leave a big ol' thank you to everyone who took the time to wish me a happy birthday this year.  I haven't been keeping up with people here all that well (or much of anywhere lately, for that matter), but I do read every single one of the messages you send my way, and I really do appreciate all of them!

As for an update on my end, things have actually been going much better for me this year compared to last year.  I've been getting back into the swing of things, finding more work, and I even finished and published my first game this year!
Actually, I should just put a link to the game here while I'm at it: www.newgrounds.com/portal/view…
The game could certainly be better, but after experimenting with prototypes all these years, it really does feel great to show that I've actually got a finished game under my belt.

I think it's also safe to say that I've been rather dead around here lately.  I haven't been good at updating much of my social media stuff either, but if you're interested in keeping up with whatever I do manage to post, I've got a few other places I've been trying to keep up with as well:

Tumblr: nkalmar.tumblr.com/
Second account for reblogs, but I dunno why you'd ever wanna follow this one: piggybankstomfoolery.tumblr.co…

Instagram: www.instagram.com/kalmar.nick/
(actually had this account for years, but decided to give it another try this year and have been really enjoying using it!  Great for posting loose sketches without feeling like I need to be too formal with them.)

Twitter: twitter.com/MarkandFlops
(made this one just a couple months ago. I originally avoided twitter for years, but it is nice being able to keep up with friends and folk on there more easily.  I guess it's kinda obvious, but Twitter and Instagram also have a ton of awesome artists you don't currently find here on dA!)

YouTube: youtube.com/markandflops
(haven't updated this one in years, but just like with my Instagram account, there's always a desire to swing by it again.  I've never really stopped kicking around ideas for how to bring this back.  Those videos I made before going quiet are just a real tough act to follow. )

Vimeo: vimeo.com/nickkalmar
(also a rather young and slim channel, but Vimeo makes for a good place for me to host videos that I felt wouldn't fit in with the audience MarkandFlops has on YouTube. In other words, mostly original content and demo reels.)

Thanks again for your support!  I say it a lot, but it really has meant the world to me, especially with how rough things have been for me in the past couple years.  I'm really excited for what's coming next!

Here's to the future!
