    That was very cool.
    A little disturbing and very touching at the same time. I wonder if that was based on any personal experience?

    Wow… just wow. I haven’t seen you put something out like that in a long time. Really beautiful work, even moreso for the fact that it was written on the spot and done 24HCD-style.

    I know better than to ask whether it’s based on personal experience, but it rings of truth nonetheless. Nicely done.

    Lovely. Might be my favorite thing I’ve seen from you. Truly stellar.

    An earnest love poem, possibly more profound to it’s giver and recipient than a wider audience. These things can be rather generic when done in such general non-specific terms. Still, I like the execution quite a lot, the novel and free use of the tools. It looks like someone moving fast after dropping a lot of baggage.
    Well done.

    We don’t get to see you working in a simple style often enough. I hope you give it a shot more than one day a year, time and interest permitting.
