Thats all folks! Cracking year once again. Thank you all very much friends and customers new and old for their continued support this year. It really is appreciated. Certainly a lot of change in the industry and in the field, to the extent we cant even show what we work on without AI flagging the content and limiting our ability to use the platforms.
I expect the turkey coma will take a week or two to wear off! Aiming to be back in the workshop ready for the new year and its challenges on the 13th of January!

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you all.
