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!
Happy 2025 and a look back at 2024

Secret Raccoon Forest
Ah! Finally I got around to finishing this illustration!Here are a bunch of raccoons doing their secret raccoon things. 🦝If you're familiar with my art, you might know that I love working with a limited colour palette and I started this image with the idea of turning it into a riso print.It's incredible how many possibilities you can get by playing with three colours and different transparencies! I look forward to seeing the riso print result once I get it made!And something that I learned about myself is that I love drawing quickly! One of the downsides of working digitally is loosing the freshness of the initial sketch. That's why I try to be loose when I proceed with the digital inking and colour. I want those happy accidents to happen!And also, I get bored of things quite easily ahahI'd love to make a collection of images like this one.I hope you like it!And maybe we can turn this into a blanket? 🦝
