Happy 2025 and a look back at 2024

 have been debating whether I should make one of those fancy posts/reels with a recap of 2024.
But the more effort I put into my posts -especially reels- the less engagement I get 😂
So, duck it, here's a chunky capybara.

Happy 2025, folks!!

2024 was incredible and fun, and you were all a part of it ❤️

While I didn’t create as much art as I hoped, I got the chance to travel the world, meet so many new people, and I learned to delegate (hello, fulfilment center!). I also dove into studio photography, and now I don’t hate taking product photos as much as I used to 📸
I also allowed myself to "downsize" and move to a (not-so-pretty) storage unit because it made the most sense for me.
2024 was also the year I let my "inner child" shine and introduced fan art into my business. Drawing One Piece raccoons makes me so happy, and I love interacting with the OP community! ☠️
I even ran my first Kickstarter, which turned out to be a great success 🎉

I’m so grateful for all the lovely interactions and comments, both online and in-person. I’m forever thankful for all your support, which allows me to call this my job. I don’t take any of it for granted!

As I mentioned earlier, the downside is that I didn’t create as many illustrations as I’d hoped - only introduced two new prints, lol.
In 2025, with the help of a new assistant, I hope to find the time to create more art and work on the projects I’ve had on the back burner.

I’m so excited for the new year!
