Happy New Year!
I wanted to start 2026 by talking directly to you, because if you’re reading this, you’re part of why 3GI is still here.
2025 was an epic af year. A lot of things moved slower than I wanted, but a lot of things also solidified. Shrek 2 Retold grew into something much bigger than a movie. The Zine stopped being an idea and became a real object. Patreon stopped being a vague “support button” and started feeling like an actual space.
2026 is about follow-through.
I’m focusing less on chasing momentum and more on finishing things properly, making work that feels permanent, and building projects that I can stand behind years from now. That includes Shrek 2 Retold, legacy Super Smash Tournament work, original experiments, and continuing to make the Zine something special and physical.
FYI: If you’ve been thinking about becoming a Disciple, January 5 is the cutoff to receive the latest Zine. No pressure!
Mostly, I just want to say thank you. This place works best when it feels human, honest, and intentional, and that’s what I’m carrying into the new year.
Here’s to 2026 <3
