Diving into 2026
As we find ourselves diving into 2026 and out of a chaotic 2025 year we need to make sure we go into this year with an open-mind, and preparedness. 2025 provided a lot of lessons on understanding: micro-plastics, toxic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, processed foods, over medication among other issues. I find it important in having compassion for all who suffer and keeping in mind that we all are going through this kind-of-crazy.
I created this illustration with the idea how everyone feels like their in a free-fall. My idea of how to approach these times is to treat the transition from 2025 to 2026 as skydiving instead of being in an out-of-control free-fall. As long as we have packed for the jump everything will work out; if not, a definite chaotic year will be ahead for us all.
I produce my artwork with Corel Painter on a Windows 10 system. I find using this software allows me to create in whatever style that I desire. If you would like to know about my studio setup you can read about it in My Studio article.
