Every time I get an influx of followers on here, it's safe to assume that twitter messed up again in one way or another 😂 Anyway, hello everyone! Right now I'm still taking a break from Social Media in general, but I really like this place, so I'm definitely going to use this account once I'm back
I still have so much old art I have never posted... So even if I don't get to draw much these days, one of my goals is to at least start posting old art somewhat regularly 🙈
Since I didn't finish my 2024 sketchbook, I'll just keep using it in 2025. I'm finally starting to find some time to sit down and draw, even if it's just small stuff 😭
Thank you! Now I can't wait to get my health back so I can do some drawing!
Thank you and all the best to you and your family! I was really worried I might have a hard time getting used to the baby but that bond really is a miracle!
Jaaa, endlich!! Jetzt kann ich mir wieder über andere Dinge Sorgen machen 🤪
THANK YOU!! Eigentlich wussts so gut wie niemand außer Eltern + paar Friends - hab sogar in real life versucht so zu tun, als wär ich nur fett geworden, weil ich zu viel McDonalds hatte 🙃 Zu viel Schiss, dass da wieder was schief geht und man das dann Leuten erzählen muss...
Making this little human was the most difficult thing I've done in my entire life - mentally and physically. They're still a very new part of our family but it feels like I've known them all my life ♥️
2024 was a year with very little art. I didn't finish my yearly sketchbook and at some point stopped doing personal art altogether. It's ok though, because I finished something much more important:

Did you make any New Year wishes? I hope they come true!

Almost lost to burnout this year. Next year I’m going in swinging
Panel 1: I may be scared of 2025.
A person clenches a ruined comic in their hands with tears streaming down their cheeks.

Panel 2: But 2025 should be scared of me too.
Same person looks determinedly into the camera, preparing to draw anyway.
Oooh, treasure ✨
The bear is not too happy about having to carry all of that though.
