hi! my annual video countdown of the year's best movies will be up on monday, january 13.

on the advice of "No Other Land" director Basel Adra, the annual fundraiser i launch along with it is in support of The Palestine Red Crescent Society, and the fundraiser is now live:

Toolbar icons for the Windows version of poedit.net I worked on earlier this year.
Having the chance to add a tiny splash of color to them was a nice change from the all the monochrome glyphs I'm drawing every day.

Wrapping up a set of just over 1200 icons to finish the year. Will I ever tire of drawing them?

Found rest and joy in reading again this year after a bit of a break. Some highlights of these past 12 months:

- Headshot by Rita Bullwinkel
- I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara
- Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse
- Strong Female Character by Fern Brady
- The Wager by David Grann

…and why not start with this simple app icon for winsparkle.org – an open-source software updater for Windows.
We wanted the icon to be inconspicuous enough so people don't mistake it for an actual app they didn't know they had installed, but that doesn't mean it had to be any less pleasant.

Decided to use the novel opportunity of having a nice social network and share a selection of icons I've been working on recently. Keep your eyes peeled if you're into that sort of thing.
