Fishwick Papers: the "Topless Nick Cave Riding A Horse" edition

Good Friday, Papettes!This has been a rather pleasant week. A few things I've been working on have wrapped up, and my inbox is on the empty end. A few ideas that I've been thinking about are turning into realities, which is very exciting. I've been working on an article that I'm very proud of, and can't wait to share with you when it comes out next week. Its topic probably won't surprise you.I've set aside this weekend for tax time (hurrah!) to sort through the financial aftermath of my former life as a freelance artist. One thing I'll say about a full-time job: not as many receipts. I could get used to this.Finally, if you're in Melbourne, and are free next Wednesday, I'm helping indie game developers The Voxel Agents test their upcoming game The Gardens Between. It's gorgeous, gentle, and intriguing. If you want to get a sneak peek, (or know someone who would) you can sign up for a session here.
