Just reflecting on the last 2 years with my small business, we have met the most amazing artists, customers and fans of various shows filmed in our area. There have been highs and lows but we remain firm in only supporting businesses with the highest level of ethics and morals, and despite what it may or may not do to our little business we call out those who do not treat others with all the dignity and respect all humans deserve. Hopefully the next year is full of more amazing people and fruitful (see what I did there) collaborations.

The amount of science, especially chemistry and engineering that goes into a crazy high quality colored pencil is mesmerizing.
