KIRBY AND ME
I just received my copy of the Kirby and Me book. It’s a massive project. 320 page. 215 creators involved.

“WE WANT IT NOW!”: How I ended up producing a magazine from scratch, almost all by myself, in 15 days
I have a strong customer satisfaction culture. Always had. I rarely say no to a project. Even on a shoe-string budget, I try to create the best possible product.
