Marian Bantjes’ first font
Restraint is a font by Marian Bantjes, something I have wished for many times! So many obsessive, interlocking ornaments that it comes with instructions. (Restraint. Ha ha.)

About this new design
I feel like a bit of a wanker talking about My New Website Design since the point for me is to be self-explanatory (I already talked about this stuff by posting the design). But I do like talking about design in regular words too, so here goes.
- The monster’s name is Pearl. That takes some pressure off.

Sugar coloured
This is to celebrate the big monster face and the bright colours I made. Hello! I’m ready to stop hiding for awhile!
