Happy New Year 2026 to everyone! 🥳

May it bring you health, serenity and happiness!

How is it going for you? I hope that on a personal level, you have more joy and satisfaction than on worldwide level… 😵

For me, this year is off to a pretty good start artistically:

I received a tabletop easel for Christmas.

It will be much more practical than my drawing table, which can only be tilted with the help of a second person.

I am really delighted to have regained a good posture for drawing!

Not only will this relieve my neck and back, but it will also relieve my right shoulder.
To achieve a smooth line, good shoulder range of motion is important.

To celebrate, I resumed a project I started in November 2023.
This illustration was supposed to be the monthly reward for my Patreon subscribers.
Unfortunately, my second case of adhesive capsulitis flared up at that time.

Since then, as you know, my artistic and professional life has been at a standstill. It has been monopolised by rehabilitation and caring for my sick grandmother.

So it’s time to take advantage of the energy of January and make a real fresh start!
