As I move through the second half of my life, I find myself more and more driven to get all of the ideas out of my head. I have more books I want to write, more games to design, more art to create, more places to photograph than ever before. I am filled with a purpose I didn’t have as a younger creator and designer, and I think my best work is ahead of me.
