2023: Reflections, Goals, Well-Wishes, etc.

General
Happy new year everyone! I hope all of you had a wonderful December.
I'm not big on hippy-dippy goals on new year, but I have some general ones I'd be striving towards regardless of it being a new year or not. I have a premonition that 2023 will be a good year.
2022 was a hard year for me. I felt disconnected from my art. Various anxiety presented in my life in new and exciting ways. That peaked very strongly this fall. While it was a challenge to deal with in the moment it did lead me into taking some big, serious steps in managing said anxiety. I've learned a whole lot. As of now, my confidence in feeling happy, in-control and at ease is great. In a way that I'm honestly not used to at all.
I have been really busy all December, but when I have sat down to draw I have been genuinely enjoying it. Something that evaded me essentially all of 2022. I had a soft goal of finishing off commissions before the new year. Which(obviously) isn't going to happen, but within the first few months of 2023 is very feasible. I think I've mentioned this already, but I do not intend on accepting commissions again afterward. Not in a foreseeable period of time. And in the farther future keeping it small and/or private(as in no public advertising or queues. Just negotiated individually). Or not at all. Depends on what my lifestyle can support in the unknown time ahead.
Other 2023 things Im going to do:
•Travel(more alone than I've travelled before)
•Maybe do some art trades when I'm done commissions(this involves chatting with artists I like haha)
•Keep up my extremely moderate, gentle home work outs(original, I know)
•Mystery??
But yeah I think that's all. Nothing particularly novel or important. I wish you all the best <3

I am intrigued, lol.
Happy new year!
Happy new year <3
But the most important thing I could have praised in almost every piece is the atmosphere. Complemented by the earthy palette, the scenes your drawings observe are always breathing the air of simple pleasures, honesty, appreciation of hard work, and the hardships of life; an air of kindness, and mutual understanding, and reciprocated desire without judgment or pretense. It may be a dreamlike vision of the world, but it never fails to lift my spirits, whether it is a reference sheet, an erotic scene or a sweet personal piece.
Thank you for giving your audience these experiences, and that sense of rugged, world-weary, but hopeful and persistent emotional harmony.
May this year be kind to you, and grant you all the travelling opportunities and control over your creativity you'd wish at the start of it!
Wanted to suggest a few artists whose styles and scene direction reminded me of yours: Mulefoot, Seyorrol, Glopossum, niochem, Danji-Isthmus, CarnalCervidae, volkenfox, dramamine, ritts, moult -- but I took a scroll stroll through your Favorites, and there they all were! Compliments on your taste in art and awareness of your kindred creators!
