Hi, I know it's been a while, but I thought I'd give a short update on everything that's been going on since I last made a blog post.
In April, I released 'Birds of Prey', the first single from my forthcoming second album, which you can stream here and here. I initially intended for the video to be live-action, however after drawing the cover art, I had a splash of inspiration. Because of the high ambition behind this, I decided to use BOP as my final student project. I managed to finish most of the animation last week, but the video needs more finishing touches before I can release it to the public, but I'm aiming for a mid-June release at the earliest. Either way, it'll be on newgrounds before anywhere else.
I might have mentioned this before, but my second album (which I publicly refer to as Album2), is very personal, and is meant to be an open letter to several people in my past and present. I had a bit of trouble for a while putting these feelings into words, but I've finally come to a point where I've written 12 tracks (and even more, which can be used as b-sides), and I have finally nailed down the aesthetic and feel I want the album to have. There are hints to this aesthetic on the art for BOP. I've also had a lot of really shitty things happen in my personal life, which has strengthened my drive to finish the album.
Sorry for this update being so short, but just wanted to announce a few things to show I'm not dead!
