IWD 2025

Happy International Women’s Day! May you get all that you deserve, and more besides 🙂

Despite the state of the world, I know that we can all keep pushing forward.

Love you all!

A (corner)time to reflect

Since we are still in the birth throes of the New Year (may it be a good one), I have been reflecting on myself (scary!), on my art (fun!), and what I want to do with both this year.

While I have a lot of fun with drawing in general, I do tend to gravitate towards the same kind of bodies and poses time after time, so I would like to try and get some more variety in 2025. That means variety in size, skin-tones (when in colour, obviously), facial features, expressions, et cetera. There is a lot of comfort for me in simple otk scenes, but dynamism is also quite fun to think about, and while I tend to use quite exaggerated pin-up-like proportions, I also love drawing, celebrating (and spanking) all sorts of women, from curvy to toned, large to skinny, and anything in between. So let’s see more of that! I also hope that that way more people will see themselves in the drawings, and maybe enjoy them even more.

In passing, I also want to get my colouring and shading to the next level but 1) it’s hard, and 2) I’m lazy. However, I do like my style (hey, I’ve chosen it), and I think there is something fun in the minimalism of a restricted colour palette and what one can do with it. It is a nice way to have some bits stand out (you know the ones!), and it allows me to fit art in a generally busy life and schedule without having to spend weeks finishing a piece. So win-win, I guess? All that to say that I want to get my colouring better, but that I still intend to carry on with my usual style.

Finally, and this is reflected in this piece as well, the third chapter of my little game has been a shadow looming over me for the entirety of 2024, and it has caused me more anxiety than I’d like to admit, so getting some fantasy-style pieces done again is something I’m looking forward to, and finally finishing that cursed chapter!

Good things are coming! I know it.

Happy New Year

Well, another turn around the sun, hey?

Life has that wonderful way of going up and down, left and right, tipsy-turvying its merry way as we all pretty much make stuff up along the way.

Can’t say that my 2024 was a great one, but a new year is always a good point to reflect, renew, and start fresh! Lots of projects on the cards and exciting things to keep me going in 2025 (in my actual life as well as my online one!); I’m looking forward to it!

One of the most important realisations this year has been that if I don’t make time for myself, and for what I want to do, there is never going to be a time to do it. Waiting for the right moment is all well and good, but there are so many countless other things that can and do fill our time that that moment might never come if we don’t make it happen. And I’ve been probably guilty of deferring to that hypothetical “later” too often, to my own detriment, really. You live and you learn, even at my advanced, decrepit age (36 is a doozie, not sure I’d recommend it!).

But enough about little old me; however your 2024 did go, I hope your 2025 will be even better, and that all your hopes, projects, and dreams will bear fruit. You’ve got this! And if you need an ear, be it to celebrate or commiserate, I’m always happy to listen!

One of them says "So, what are your resolutions for the New Year?", the second says "Not get in trouble so often, maybe?", the third says "You both said that last year... and the year before... and the year before that... and..."

Happy Christmas Day!

Wishing you all a Happy Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, happy non-denominational time of year, and just a generally happy time with all the people you love!

Hopefully you found what you wanted under the tree (and hopefully some of you got what they deserved, hint-hint!).
