First of all, thank you to everyone who supported me this year. Thank you to everyone who sent kind and encouraging messages/comments, you have no idea how much it means to me and my complete lack of art training. (I had art class in high school if that counts? It was a loooong time ago lol)

Thank you to the artists who inspire me and the writers who take me to other worlds. When I say 'writers' I mean those of published and fan fiction alike, because there are some phenomenal writers out there giving us fan fiction for FREE! Like, can you believe that?!

Because I'm a chaotic personage who refuses to make decisions, I made collages of some of my fave pieces from the year, starting with:

Archerons, Nessian, Panoramic Scenes, Valkyries

Breakout stars Andy and Vincent:

My beloveds: BB and the shadowbabies

Canon moments and this-should-be-canon moments

Gowns (because drawing pretty dresses is my happy place, the casts of cats, and my crafting foolery

2024 had some highs (Japan!) and some lows (fractured foot), so I’m excited to see what 2025 throws at me.  I want to get back into writing in 2024, as it's something I used to love doing. I was a marketing copy writer for years (even with dyslexia I was good! I won some awards!) and long story short; writing social media copy in the 'voice' of others destroyed my ability to write narratively and in my own voice. I'm sure this doesn't happen to everyone, but I guess I couldn't compartmentalize enough? It's been a journey to accept and make peace with it. Anyway, my career thankfully took me elsewhere and I've been meaning to attempt to reclaim my voice.
