Here comes a huge, sappy wall of text, beware, haha. I can't keep these things short, ever :"D and I've got so many thoughts on my mind for a while now.

This has been a very lifechanging year for me and even though most of these changes started a year or a few years ago really, I think this is the one when they finally really took a shape.

I'm so happy I started going to cons in 2023. I've met so many wonderful people and got so many lovely friends since. I've found such wonderful communities between Polish comic artists and convention vendors. Exchanged so many thoughts, ideas, got so much inspiration and new energy from all of you. I'm so very thankful for all of this, for all the afterparties, meetings, travels. I've always been quiet, and it's still a big part of me, but man, life is just so much more fun with you guys around. ❤️

I've also been so, so positively overwhelmed with all of the interactions I've gotten since going to conventions and opening my shop. I'd never dared to assume I could inspire anyone else to create or that I could influence anyone in the way they do what you love. Yet I got to hear it a few times this year and every moment like this meant so, so much to me. I'm shocked every time I recognize the same faces visiting me in new cities, I'm so happy I can catch up with you guys when we get to see each other and chat a bit during these events. My face hurt so often from smiling and my voice has died over and over again from talking so much to you throughout this year, and gosh, what a genuinely wonderful feeling this is. It's given me so much new evergy to live and create. 🙏

I feel like, despite working as an artist for over 10 years, I've rediscovered art for myself this year, found so many new ways to enjoy it. And I'm just bursting from all of the ideas and things I want to create! To the point I just don't have time for all of it :"D but I'm gonna be patient - and so will you, I hope! - and I will make all of it happen, one project after another. There will time for all of this eventually. ❤️

I feel like I've done more art exchanges and I've bought more art commissions than ever this year, and God, I can't find words to say how happy I am about it. My walls are filled with all the amazing prints and stickers and it's genuinely just a beginning. There's still so much art I need to find space for! But since I have...some plans for the near future, I feel like new prints and frames should better wait for some new spaces to be filled.
So yeah, if you don't see the prints we exchanged this year here...they're waiting for their time, somewhere. 👀 and they will soon find their purpose, hehe.

But yeah, this is where I am now, and I'm so thankful for sll of these new experiences and opportunities, the past and the upcoming ones. Every day I wake up and look at all of the wonderful art surrounding me, and I get so many new ideas.

Huge thanks, to all of you, every single of you. For the meetings, the discussions, the art, the ideas. The commissions, the patreon, the chance to follow my dreams and work the way I always wanted, but didn't dare to consider possible back when I was a kid...
Thank you.

This could go on and on for a few more pages, since I have SO MANY thoughts on my mind right now, but I don't want to bore you all to death. So here we are. <3

I wish a wonderful 2025 to all of you. <3 I'm so excited for it, as I plan so many things for it! We'll see where it all ends up a year away from now, haha.
Thank you all. ❤️
