For the first time since starting my little art journey, I haven't made enough art to show for a proper art summary. However, I shan't let the tradition die just yet, and so I will write my silly text post at least one more time.

Unlike last year, when I still managed to create a handful of pieces, 2025 unfortunately saw no such thing. A lack of motivation has played a small part, of course, but for the most part, I simply haven't had the time or resources to give it the attention I've wanted. Energy has been low for a while, but that's okay!

I did have the opportunity to toy around with making some prints of my art this year, namely my drawing of Emmrich (x) and my pieces of Raphael (x)(x), and was very excited by the results. I got to show and have the latter signed by Andrew Wincott, who was very sweet and kind, and showed them off to his manager (!). So, as with last year, I leave 2025 with optimism and hope to both print and create more in 2026!

As per usual, thank you so, so much to everyone who’s followed and supported me this year, especially in the love you've shown to my older art!

Like last year, this year was slow. I was so busy with university and work that I barely had any time to draw, and what little time I did have was usually spent on doing something else entirely or (sadly) being less than kind to myself. Even so, I did manage to produce some drawings that I am incredibly proud of this year.

Art is a journey, and it’s not always easy, but I feel like throughout 2024, I’ve finally gained some clarity in where I want that journey to lead and thus been able to take charge of where that journey is headed.

A long-time struggle has been making art that I personally like the look of—art that I would reblog or interact with—so my goal has always been to change that. I want to make art for me, art that I like. I've spent a lot of time experimenting with different approaches and methods, and I’ve been very happy with the results so far. And so, I will leave 2024 with optimism! I’m very excited to see what next year brings.

Thank you so, so much to everyone who’s followed and supported me this year. It means a lot to me, you’re amazing, and I love you!

very excited about my new and old blorbos
