2026-27: LAST YEAR OF LIFE
No, it’s probably not my last year of life. This is just a little more than a thought experiment and a little less than a real manifestation. After New Year’s Day, while most people were struggling with this year’s batch of resolutions, I asked myself a question; “What if this was your last year? Would you be satisfied with your artistic contribution?”
The answer was a resounding “no!”.
I have over the years, started many projects that were either, stalled, cancelled, put aside for other things, etc. Some are finished and not published, some are just started and others are out there right now! Well, they’re all going to be realized now. This year. My last year of life.
and by last year, I of course mean “year and 5 months”. Here they are listed and more details will be given as each starts to see the light of realization, we call publishing.
