English translation: Keep up the kick-ass work

Russian term or phrase: мастерейте дальше
Очень свежо написано, и идея оригинальная.
В общем - мастерейте дальше, ведь пределов нет, правильно?

(Из читательского отзыва, адресованного автору.)

Здесь намеренно употреблена этакая шутливо-неправильная форма для создания некоей дружественной атмосферы, что ли... Объединены два значения: "мастер" и "матереть", т.е. становиться "матерым".

Можно ли передать нечто подобное в английском? Только чтобы не выглядело слишком искусственным.
Спасибо.

Explanation:
Чтобы не выглядело искусственным, предлагаю "шутливо-неправильную форму" не переводить эквивалентом, а переделать в просто неформальную.

neutral  Mikhail Kropotov: звучит как пожелание тому, у кого еще всё спереди, точнее, всё впереди, а пока уровень низковат. к тому же, master глагол только переходной, после него нужно прямое дополнение (master smth)
