Yeah! Personally I'd wanted to return to doing more traditional work for a couple of years but it's definitely been an additional factor to spur me on.

06.01.2026 18:13 β π 22 π 5 π¬ 0 π 0I've never been firmly in either camp when it comes to digital vs. traditional, both of them are great for different reasons. But I think right now it may be more important than ever to connect with art in a physical form. I'm also trying to be less shy about sharing my process, gradually.
06.01.2026 15:48 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0These are not concrete goals, but this year I really want to improve my art and to make more traditional work, the two of which go hand-in-hand, I think. I'm a little out of practice but I really have the drive at the moment to experiment with different media so I'm following that!

Here's my #artsummary for 2025!
Despite everything, I seem to have ended the year in a pretty good place. I'm taking some time to rest for now but I'm feeling more positive about my direction than I did a few months ago.
Wishing you all the best for the new year too.
Amazing work as always!!
