This year I discovered a real joy working in a more sketchy form — lots of monochrome pieces. Of course I also made a number of paintings, several of which I am quite proud of. I completed the #kimo7 challenge in March. And I did a whole mess of gesture drawing.

A big collage of my paintings and drawings from 2025. The top-left quadrant comprises various monochrome works, including a few portraits and several figure drawings. The top-right shows off paintings, including portraits of my wife, my muse, a few celebrities, and a handful of animals.
