Welcome to 2023. I hope everyone had a nice holiday! It was a really tough one for me, obviously. I'm going through a lot of firsts without my dad. Thanksgiving, Christmas.... holidays won't ever be the same, frankly. Been struggling with my depression and anxiety a lot this year -- uh, last year, but that sh!t doesn't magically go away with a new year. Probably obvious that this has been affecting my art. I was so thankful for an art spree over the summer (always fun when inspiration hits) but holymoly am I tired of this funk I've been in. I have been coloring some older sketches and plan to post a few of those soon but new stuff has been scarce. Fan art, original art, you name it.

So, here's my first real sketch of the new year -- vent art in a way, I suppose. It was inspired by this song which really hit a nerve with me (and it has a pirate theme, sorta, so ha!). Music is always both healing and inspiring to me. I literally have an entire K&K "soundtrack" to pop on whenever I feel the ol' muse stirring. Yes my obsessions are that intense.

Anyways! Have a simple sketch of Socks, plan on seeing some finished works from last year soon-ish and here's to the new year, hopefully with more motivation.

PS: Yes he's wearing the air pirate logo, Kit's scarf and sleeve patch.... and while we're at it I'm just gonna say those are Karny's boots. I swear I didn't steal them.
