My art summary for 2023 🎉 Overall a very good year, I drew something every month (even if November was a bit scant). Looking forward to 2024!

Here are my Top9 posts from 2023.

2023 was a weird year where Instagram desperately wanted to become Tiktok, Tiktok still did Tiktok best and now also is the better platform for artists to post image albums on. Twitter died and Tumblr continued its resurgence. If not for Tumblr doing so well I'd feel pretty bad about the year social media-wise. Art-wise though I'm very happy since I managed to significantly upgrade many of my old favorite designs (to use for merch and finally my own site) but also was able to push forward on new illustrations and test out many new series ideas. My goal for 2024 is to keep the momentum going, since there are a few other longterm plans I want to do. Thanks for following!

This year I drew a lot of Splatoon and played a lot of Zelda. There's a lot going on in the world and I hid from it all. I'm going to have to face it soon. Thanks for looking.

And another year has come and gone

Recurring Graves' ruined my lines for the better half of the year but the bright side is I got to spend a lot of time in 3dsmax clicking away at backgrounds and geometry, which felt like little fun getaways :)

Thank you all for staying with me for another round ❤️

Wow this year has flown by. I can't believe it's nearly 2024 already! But you know what end of the year means: my 2023 summary of art! This doesn't include anything from November-December because most of the stuff I was working on was either for work or 2024 projects so I can't show them yet...

But still!! My goal for this year was to draw more than I did last year, and I think I reached that goal so I'm pretty satisfied with my progress overall! Here's to hoping that I can draw more and keep improving next year!

Anyway, thanks to everyone who follows my Tumblr here, I really appreciate all the support and the various tags you guys leave on my posts. Thank you! I hope you all have a lovely new year and that 2024 will be filled with happiness and good health for everyone!

Here's my 2023 Art Year in Review!

Oof. Yeah, not a great year for output. As you can tell by my having to put in some photos I took for May and October, since I didn't have any drawn art for those months. What I used for January and Sept. is definitely fudging things (in a "hmm close enough" way.)

So, here's the damage: 15 pieces total (all but one full background and color); 54 individuals.

BUT.

I'm not going to be super hard on myself, because this year is when I organized a big fan project that I'd been wanting to see get done for years and years -- the "Trouble" multi-artist lyric comic. (Art here, video version here by the amazing @stariousfalls.) As I've said before, absolutely awesome seeing 72 people step up wanting to do a big GF fan project in 2024! I was truly blown away by what a spectacular job everyone did.

And while I'm noting some of the stuff I can feel good about, I was happy to finish the Stan Twins meet the Jersey Devil comic that I'd also been meaning to finish for years.

So, not a great year personally, but some things to feel satisfied about.

Saying it here: my new year's resolution is just to DRAW SOMETHING in every month. Even just one thing!
