Aw buddy I am sorry the going is rough. It’s rough out here.
Yes, smugness is a stepping stone along the way to real security sometimes for me. 😅 To stop hating my autistic traits, I may need to embrace a bit of pettiness in resisting all the negative messaging about the way I am.

My heart goes out to you in this time of loss. I know that many of you may still be reeling from grief over previous breakups with Zapfino and *shudder* Papyrus. Try to have a happy solstice season and a merry Christmas, even amidst the wreckage.

Sure. I did fix it with Squarekicker for now. If you can spot what was causing it between the banner section and section 2, do tell! Some clients’ packages don’t include all that custom stuff with a dedicated seat in SK, but I still want them to look good. Link: www.cleversquirrelcreative.com/blog

Also, my new Squarespace design biz is cooler than the one we co-owned. 😆

I originally wanted to buy a house with my ex, but he kept saying he didn’t feel responsible enough. So now I see the real reason: he always had one foot out the door. He quit on us shortly after my cancer treatment. So I am glad I still have a roof over my head and housing security for my daughter!

Um I’d like to request a Real Monsters phone stand (the character with the eyeballs in the hands?) and a slot on top of its head 😜

Oh, my little art business venture that resulted in a bunch of fancy illustrative lettering was called Quill & Anvil Designs back in the day. There are a whole bunch, but not an entire alphabet. Here are a couple more.

Into it. Your content is always helpful even if I already know how to do what you’re explaining.

Bahaha yessss. Thank you, it was the client’s sortof weirder idea out of several possibilities, and I couldn’t even imagine it working myself until I started drawing. It took a lot of versions to get the right curves etc to read while working with that typeface. Creative clients ftw

Concept #1 is brilliant. All are solid but that one sings.

gods, I feel this prescription in my …liver. or something. I had to set aside admin and only do logo work for a few days to detox from the overwhelming tedium of almost everything else about life and business

Honestly compared to Meta’s blatantly discriminatory moderation practices, I’d also just take…not banning people for speaking social justice truths.

Happy to consult about whether Squarespace could meet your needs. I build ‘em. 😄
