1000 Followers!

1000 -

That's a big number. I guess I have an expectation of myself to celebrate every progressive bigger, round number. I'll take a shot for the lot of us.

I'm excited to continue growing and making what I make, life is chaos for many right now, including me. Doing this gives me a feeling of zen, I can drift away between writing and datasets, often working on these until the early hours of the morning. Checking the site at work to find out I've got messages from people who see value in what I do is a great feeling, thank you all.

I think even more impressively, we've hit 100 thousands generations. That's a crazily-big number. To think that for every person that follows me, 100 images have been made with the tools that I give out is wild.

I'm rambling already, I'm not one to feel too sappy, but thank you all for the opportunity to finally give back. I hope that you can all find value in what I give out, and I hope that I can lower the bar of entry far enough to where everyone can create what they want, completely for free and entirely at their own discretion.

A few mentions to some people who helped me get here-

Shoutouts to:

• Aetius91, for being an all around great person and a constant source of innovation and joy. One of my earliest followers and now one of my favorite friends through here.

• RedTvpe, you were able to successfully beat how to train into my head- all of this is your fault and I hope you're happy. Always great to talk to you.

• Razira, for inadvertently helping me to strive for more out of my work, seeing your work and catching up after years of not speaking was eye-opening.

• RegenKonig, you know exactly why.

See you tonight, or tomorrow, or whenever I release the next one.

Your favorite pirate and art democratizer,
