Since I was little my dad and I have traded daily calendars. Usually The Far Sde, but sometimes others like Argyle Sweater. We skipped a few years but now we’re back on it!

It starts off with an off one fire sure, but aren’t they all?!

I saw the creator of this course sharing it on LinkedIn and figured others might want to give it a shot! I've had very good experience with Udemy courses in the past, they are extremely comprehensive and well made.

I've been working on a neat little tool to create background textures/patterns in SVG. It has some presets, but also gives you full manual control of the settings. You can then copy the generated code output for use on your project.
