Another big gap between posts. Academically, I'm millimetres away from finishing up 2 drafts of Digital Twin papers. But, in far more exciting news, I have started selling mugs!

I had a coffee-wind pun come to me and I thought I'd see it though. Another one came to me whilst digitally drawing the first one. These can be seen below.

I considered getting the mugs printed myself, but settled on using Redbubble instead. How it works is Redbubble takes care of the manufacturing, shipping, payments etc of a bit of work, and I get a commission, the percentage of which I get to set. Far less risky for me then ordering 20 mugs and not knowing if they'd sell or not!

I posted about them on LinkedIn and they seemed to get quite a good reaction. I've actually sold 24 mugs in total! This only equates to about ~£60. Considering it took me multiple weekends to do the designs, this is not really a money making scheme... But it's plenty enough to pay for the one I bought myself as well as some tins of coffee. #CircleOfLife

Note that the current "Wake me up" mug is slightly imporved compared to the one (my one) shown. The other 2 are renderings by Redbubble.
