2024, was a difficult year for me overall. To the point art-related goals ended up taking a backseat in favor of personal works and other interests. There were a lot less full illustrations compared to 2023 and 2022, and I ended up needing to break from larger projects. I've also had to do some personal thinking on how I want to proceed with art, especially with the wider art world being on fire, and wanting to balance it with other things going forward.
