Despite our recent radio silence, these last few weeks at the Darkvale facility
have been anything but quiet. Between movie props, set designs, book editing,
and keeping our Emporium inventory growing, the ink and sawdust have been flying
like inky, dusty, flying stuff. Sometimes our metaphor attempts fizzle; sorry
about that. Our in house staff of artists and adventurers has grown, and the
fruits of their efforts and talent will soon be available for perusal and
purchase in our lovely Emporium. Our actor automaton, Tank, continues to have
new features and new technology installed for his debut in an upcoming short
promotional feature for Chasing Photons, and our design office is undergoing
renovation and upgrade (translation: our art department no longer needs to draw
by candlelight and are now allowed 20 minute gruel and water breaks. Happy now,
OSHA?). Sketchpads are filling up, lumber is getting carved down, paint is
being slung, and mad dreams are noisily coming to life as Darkvale's production
facility gives birth to the adventurous dreams of tomorrow. Metaphor
nailed.
