Thank you 😊

Thank you ☺️

I still have so much old art I have never posted... So even if I don't get to draw much these days, one of my goals is to at least start posting old art somewhat regularly 🙈

Since I didn't finish my 2024 sketchbook, I'll just keep using it in 2025. I'm finally starting to find some time to sit down and draw, even if it's just small stuff 😭

Thank you 😊

Thank you!

Thank you! Now I can't wait to get my health back so I can do some drawing!

Thank you and all the best to you and your family! I was really worried I might have a hard time getting used to the baby but that bond really is a miracle!

Jaaa, endlich!! Jetzt kann ich mir wieder über andere Dinge Sorgen machen 🤪

Thank you 😭❤️

Thank you ♥️

THANK YOU!! Eigentlich wussts so gut wie niemand außer Eltern + paar Friends - hab sogar in real life versucht so zu tun, als wär ich nur fett geworden, weil ich zu viel McDonalds hatte 🙃 Zu viel Schiss, dass da wieder was schief geht und man das dann Leuten erzählen muss...

Dankeschön!!!

Making this little human was the most difficult thing I've done in my entire life - mentally and physically. They're still a very new part of our family but it feels like I've known them all my life ♥️

2024 was a year with very little art. I didn't finish my yearly sketchbook and at some point stopped doing personal art altogether. It's ok though, because I finished something much more important:

illustration of a polar bear with a falling star. the illustration looks like a quilt, with folk art patterning along the border.

Did you make any New Year wishes? I hope they come true!

Panel 1: I may be scared of 2025. A person clenches a ruined comic in their hands with tears streaming down their cheeks. Panel 2: But 2025 should be scared of me too. Same person looks determinedly into the camera, preparing to draw anyway.

Almost lost to burnout this year. Next year I’m going in swinging

Oooh, treasure ✨
The bear is not too happy about having to carry all of that though.

I guess it's like when people enjoy watching bad movies because they're unintentionally funny because of how bad they are, right?

Yep, I very respectfully mentioned it to her. Hopefully we can have a talk next time she wants to buy a card for a relative or friend and I can give her some pointers on how to avoid the most obvious AI stuff despite her bad vision. (I'm like, no grandma of mine is spending money on AI stuff!!!)

I'm definitely keeping the card because I value grandma's effort and good intentions. At my age I'm blessed to have a grandma who still sends me cards ♥️ I also very respectfully mentioned the situation to her, so maybe we can have a talk next time she wants to buy a card for a relative or friend.

At least those were funny-bad, the AI ones are just bad 🙈
