A Note from the Editor -
This community never ceases to amaze me.
We have been beyond fortunate to make the connections that we have, and as a result we have some awesome collaborations coming over the next year--more on those later.
What we can tease is that we have one hell of an end-of-year raffle planned with a killer prize package. Stay tuned for details on that!
As always:
Stay Sketchy.
