It's been such a treat and inspiration to see your progress and documented journey with comics. Your passion and care for the form really shows and I can't help but look forward to seeing more of it. The way you continuously tried to sneak comics into your illustration work cracked me up a bit.

So glad I've found your newsletter. In recent years I've been working on improving my illustration skills. You've made me want to continue doing so into the new year even if it's just a hobby.

I love your work!

Enjoyed this recap so much, especially a peek into your editorial sketches! Super fun and cool that you played with comic formats there. And I’m especially inspired by the mini panels within the larger illustration (like in your travel diary comic)—can’t wait to experiment with that idea!

I really love how you bring an editorial lens into your comic storytelling, so that each panel is full of intentional choice. Looking forward to seeing what 2024 brings for you, both in comics and in other forms ✨
