New Year 2026 (Patreon)

The year 2025 is ending and 2026 is coming.

This year has been... it's been very tough. Health issues, work, the environment, the political situation. Many things haven't turned out as I expected, financially, professionally, and in terms of my health. I don't want to complain too much, because I'm still relatively well, but 2025 wasn't the year I thought it would be.

This coming year brings many challenges. On the one hand, I have to catch up on a lot of backlogged work, and I'll try to make the most of January in that regard. On the other hand, I'm still dealing with my health challenges, which have only partially improved. Financially, I need to make some much-needed adjustments and some decisions as well.

I don't want to make too many resolutions regarding my artistic side because I made a lot of resolutions at the beginning of 2025 and I wasn't able to achieve almost any of them. This year I'll take things one step at a time and see how they develop. My desire to do more and better things remains intact.

Looking back, a million thanks to everyone who has supported me this year in one way or another, and I hope that at least this year's stories and drawings have brought you a little joy.

And to brighten things up, Gaby and Eri are joining us in their party dresses, ready to celebrate.
