This cutie makes me remind how we deeply miss Funk_King. I had at last news from him. He does well. He wanted an extended break from FS to develop other activities and pulled his fonts out cause he thought it was time. He does not exclude a future return as FS designer. This is also true for myself. For now we need some isolation, but we don't forget how you were, and are, important to us !

@ne: I am very happy to hear from you and that you tell us about fk! Both you two people are appreciated for me and many others. I love knowing that your things will be better every day. Warm greetings, friend (and also greets fk, please).

I've heard the news about a missing Funk_King several times ago. I'm happy to hear that Funk_King is well. But, why he unshared, or even deleted all his fonts he made here??

@cablecomputer: funk_king did not take the radical approach of burning all his work on the pyre of self-transformation. He made them all private.

How do I know? Check his user page. Click the little plus icon. Bask in the radiance of hundreds and hundreds of tags for his now-private FontStructions.

Why would he do this? Only he can say. Surely a very complex motivation. Perhaps he felt that opening up his virtual workshop (where he surely dedicated 100s if not 1000s of hours of his life) to the random element and in such a public way was not healthy anymore for him as an artist and individual. All I know is that he delisted his work immediately after the judging of the Illustration Competition.

There is a sense I have garnered from many FontStructors that may illuminate our shared artistic journey. It is one of redemption. We feel affirmed to create – some who never could point out their creations to others and say “I am an artist.” FontStruct gives us such a tool.

Art, invention, creation – these are not inherently redemptive human actions. How does our art feed the human and other-than-human world? I say it is the “good works” that make us “good worker”. So, my question is: What makes our work good?

Congratulations! FontStruct Staff have deemed your FontStruction worthy of special mention. “DivakarsConky” is now a Top Pick.
