After 8 years of blogging here at Punk Projects, I have decided that it is time for a change of scenery and a rebrand, so I've moved my blog and you can now find me over at <a href="http://studiokatie.com/">StudioKatie.com</a><br /> <br /> This is something I've been working on for a few months now and I'm pretty excited about my new site, which has a blog, a portfolio, and I'm in the processes of reopening up my shop!<br /> <br /> I want to thank everyone who has supported me in my blogging journey all of these years. If you want to continue following my work, <b><a href="http://www.studiokatie.com/">please hop over to my new website and take a look around.</a></b><br /> <br /> <br />
