Project Update: Knowledge Asymmetry: Update 2
Welcome to the second Knowledge Asymmetry Status report!
The Tax Man
January was unexpectedly a business month for Knowledge Asymmetry. I’ve never had a proper “business” before and discovering all the little steps that needed to be taken with local government in Chicago, the state, and at the federal level has been an entirely new process for me. I registered the business name, got an EIN so I can provide 1099-NEC’s to folks I commission, and have a few more steps yet to go before everything is above board. The highlight of this process was taking the elevated line downtown to the City Clerk’s office of Vital Records in order to register an “Assumed Business Name.” The last time I visited 50 W. Washington in Chicago was to drop off my marriage license a few years ago. It’s an oddly up-beat place to stand quietly in line with 50 strangers waiting to navigate a maze of bureaucratic red tape...
Production Continues
In the meantime Jettila Lewis continues work on illustrations for the faction’s criminal dossiers, and logos are final for 4 of the 5 factions. The ship maps are nearly completed! Art for the Salvage Freighter's Utility Pods is complete, but I'd like to try something different for the my next illustration. In February I'm setting a goal of making one full booklet illustration in the 3d software program Blender. I've been playing it safe with how I make my share of the art, but have always been interested in trying 3d rendering, and if not now, when?
Delving fully into layout is the next step after this and I can’t wait to have more spreads and start hammering out placement of ships, factions, and quests. Jettila and I continue to meet regularly and talk shop about dying in space and getting production sorted. If you don't already, follow Jettila Lewis on instagram!
No art tease this month, but I plan on having something to share with the next update. This is a shorter update but in this case no news is good news:-) That's the status report for this month- we'll prepare another Backer transmission at the end of February!
