Earlier this year I dusted off this blog and in the process came across some holiday illustrations from almost a decade ago! It was so cool to look back and see artwork from such a different time in my life.

I was just starting to develop my style as an illustrator and had endless inspiration from my two young nieces. I also had no problem staying up late into the night at my drawing table (a habit I have long since dropped). I’m hoping to glean some magic art dust from these long forgotten illustrations and get inspired by the younger, more energetic version of myself for going into 2026.

In the meantime, I hope you have a very cosy Christmas eve and a merry Christmas!
