Illustrations of 2025

Illustrations of 2025

2025 was a good year for digital and traditional work, from redrawing of older images to developing my compositional and colour techniques.

By the end of the 2025, I noticed I had become extremely comfortable with analyzing art, both others' and my own, a skill that I've been working on since 2019. Training my eye and hand to work together is an effort of enormous proportions that will last me a lifetime. But for now, here are some top picks from the year.

Fun little Halloween mood board.

As usual, holidays are a great excuse to get out my pencils, inks, digital media and paint, and to make something.

The 2025 holiday season, I spent weeks creating "house portraits" for a variety of clients, including a cityscape scene (bottom right) for Krista Gallagher , my local Member of Legislature.

I mark my artistic progress with the New Year every year, noting the work that's been done – as well as the work still to come. Overall, 2025 was not a year of great strides, but small, technical steps. It's good to remember though that small, technical brushstrokes can be appealing.
