This post is long overdue, I guess I should have done this shortly after the actual launch night but December turned out to be just as busy and stressful as the preceding months and I ended up pretty much sleeping for the entire 10 days I had off over Christmas.
So anyway, the last 12 months have been a truly amazing, eye opening, challenging, unrelenting set of long nights full with self discovery, smiles, frowns, ideas, creativity, drinks and madness. I couldn’t have asked for more, and I couldn’t have received more support from the people that were involved. A true journey into the world of independent publishing and collaborative media.
So to kick off Thank You To Everyone Involved!

Next step is letting as many people know about the project as possible which is getting underway as we speak. All in all it’s been an amazing experience, and I plan on doing a lot more like this in the future, I’ve set up Rawstone Media Industries now which will hopefully allow me to do that. Thanks again to everyone involved!
