welcome to this space! we’re so excited to be here.

giving you as much insight into our process as possible has always been important to us, but we’ve consistently felt that the platforms that have been available to us fell short of what we actually need — a singular, centralised space for us to share pieces of our journey, and all that’s brewing in the lab, in unconstrained form.

not all platforms are equal. some require you to have an account, others can be limiting in their format. we’ve given a few things a shot, but no single platform was a perfect fit for everything we’ve wanted to do.

so here we are. after some thinking, we decided to put up this space that allows a peek behind the curtains — what we’re working on, where we’re headed, and slowly transform it into a canvas for a hundred other exciting things. coleman and evgeniy are not just fantastic players but extremely talented artists in their own rights, and having a unified sandbox for all of that creation is such an exciting prospect.

practically speaking, for those who’ve sworn off social media sites and have relied on emails and dms to obtain drop information, this is also where you can find freshly-published release details.

our design journals will still reside on our projects page, but this space is for everything else.

(we’ve also enabled comments on this page, so if you’re already here, please do say hi — hearing from you always makes our day.)

the photo that likely led you to this post goes hand in hand with all of that.

we’re turning two in july, which is a crazy thought. companies in our little community spring up fast and fade as quickly; we’re just grateful to be here, and that’s largely because you’re still here.

we made a larger batch of prototypes of a design we’ve been working on to send a group of you who have just been incredibly kind and wonderful to us along the way. the list is long, and we’re working hard to make our way down the whole thing, but here’s a first tiny step in saying a big thank you. this is something we want to do more often from here on.

what is also thrilling to us is that we get to involve you in our design journey. we love to tinker, and every note you send us on what you’ve loved (and what you’ve not) has been so valuable to our process of iteration. this past week, we’ve just had an exchange on the forums about blasts and finishes, and we’re mulling on every individual response and thought to orient ourselves for future runs.

if you have feedback, a small thought, or something you’d like to see more from us, please give us a shout; here in the comments, our dms, our email, or through this form. we’re listening.

as we said at the beginning, we’re excited to be here. year two is coming to a close, and we can’t wait to share what lies beyond with you.
