After an awesome three-year run, edseldopefan.org is retiring as an active fan project.
When I put EDF on hiatus in May, I thought the answer to my growing creative burnout was a redesign. I thought I needed to rebuild it, refresh it, and bring it back in a new way.
After some time away, I realized the project had simply reached its natural conclusion.
Nothing dramatic happened. I still like and respect Edsel, I still listen to Dope, and I’m grateful for everything that inspired EDF in the first place. My energy has just moved elsewhere.
Retired doesn’t mean erased. I’m proud of my work, and I want it to remain available. The old posts on our Instagram will not be deleted, and I plan to preserve the photo galleries by moving them to a subdomain on undevoted.org. I might also make the occasional graphic or archival update if inspiration strikes.
Thank you to everyone who followed, supported, shared, linked, or visited EDF over the last three years. It gave me something to build, something to focus on, and something to be proud of.
I’m glad it existed.
I’m proud of what it became.
Thank you for being part of it.
