Happy new year everyone!!!!!!
As I type these words it's 8.30am on January 1st and I am staying on top of my to-do list and making sure all of my site members (and Patreons) can go download the January 2025 calendar page and start this year with a bang.
If you are following me on Patreon you will recognize this floral polar bear illustration as it was the theme for all the tiers rewards for January 2024.
Drawing everything ahead of time is my secret to stay on top of things and juggle multiple hats in my business, so as the year goes, my Patreons get first dib on all the illustrations that will go on illustrated the printable calendar for the next year. If you are curious, the theme for the rewards this year and the 2026 calendar will be to redraw all the Art Nouveau portraits I did in 2018 but digitally instead of with Copic markers.
As far as goals go for 2025, I plan on being a bit more active on YouTube and work on pitching potential clients for licensing deals as I feel I need to expand beyond just print on demand at this point. I've always been one to make goals rather than resolution come January, because goals can be broken in actionable steps while resolutions are just wishful thinking that most people abandon after 2-3 weeks.
The only resolution I make year after year is to keep on being awesome and that one hasn't let me down so far, it's my fuel to get cracking on all the goals I set each year. So stay tune for more updates and blog posts about what's new with Home Cyn Home as we embark on the 2025 season. Cheers!
