My #Best9 of 2019! These are pieces that I either really enjoyed working on or some that turned out a lot better than I expected them to! SO many group photos!!!

2019 was kind of crazy for me; I opened a Patreon and I got my first big freelance job, and I juggled a lot of commissions in there too!! I can’t wait to see what 2020 is like!!! 

Thank you so much for your likes and your support 🙏 #bestnine2019 #best9of2019 #oldjapanesecars (at Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vuvG3KIns/?igshid=1dvchfncbdrjz

2019, that's a wrap! 🙌🏼🎉✨So many lessons have been learned this year, both good & bad. Without a doubt, a year I will never forget. It's been a tough one & I've been pushed to the limit in different ways 🤯 As you may know, I am quite private so I don't like to discuss every single detail of my personal life but I can say I have grown so much as a person & this year in particular I have learned so much about myself. A whirlwind year to say the least! Thank you to everyone who contributed to my journey this year, your kindness & love is very much appreciated & despite a lot of us just being cyber friends I feel your warm energy every single day! 🧡🥰 Sending cyber hugs to each & every one of you 🤗😘✨ You inspire me to keep going! . . . For those of you wondering ~ I don't do resolutions, but next year I aim to be kinder to myself & make more time for me, & me alone 😌🛁🔮 I rarely switch off & I give myself a hard time whenever I do. It's good to have goals but I also need to remember to slow down, relax & practice self-care from time to time. I also aim to be more creative both artistically & style-wise!!! I'm excited 🤩 I already have loads of ideas. So, these are my top 9 photos from 2019... 🇬🇧🎩☺️ Happy New Year you lovely lot! 🥳 Are you partying or chilling out? FYI I am very much a home-bird so I'm staying in. Have a smashing end to the year my friends 🥂✨🍾 2020 let's be having you! . . . PS ~ Sorry if I haven't responded to your messages on here, I've been so busy lately & I can't keep up so please don't take it personally. I'm more likely to see & reply to comments 🧡 xxx . . . PSS ~ Remember to keep your furry friends indoors tonight because of the fireworks 🧨👎🏼 . . . #CharlotteinEngland #top9 #top9of2019 #best9of2019 #tweed #smile #tweedjacket #brunette #womenintweed #country #countrygirl #countryclothing #countryside #countryblogger #countrystyle #style #vintageclothing #dapper #classy #legs #luxury #ootd #fashionblogger #countryclothing #luxurylifestyle #outfitoftheday #traditional #equestrian #equestrianstyle #britishstyle #england (at England) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vr7lZh16R/?igshid=zk76b34tmhpi

My #best9of2019 !✨🎉 My first year of tattooing has been amazing, and I'd like to say thanks to all my wonderful clients who trusted me and helped me grow as an artist. Which one is your favorite? https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vdGfEAmWX/?igshid=3scgxp0engfy

Lol.

As we near the end of the year and the decade, we collectively glance back at the recent past and make an assessment. Good and bad, pros and cons. We live in strange and uncertain times, indeed, but we’re not the first — nor will we be the last — to think this. There is always beauty in bleakness, and when we seem to be halted by an impasse, creativity shows us a new path around the blockage. I don’t ordinarily wax poetic like this, dear Internet, but it’s just been that sort of year for me, filled with triumphs and sadness, beginnings and endings. This year, I lost my mother. At almost 90 years old, she led a full life and died in her own place surrounded by family which, when you consider it, is the best that any of us could hope for. I am saddened by this, but this sadness doesn’t paralyze me. On the contrary, it propels me forward. It underscores the brevity of our short lives, and the urgency to leave nothing undone. Things will definitely be left undone, of course, but that doesn’t stop us trying. I’m under no such delusion that my creative output as an artist will last much past my lifetime, but it’s never really been about the end product. It’s always been about the joy of making. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

2019 was my best ever. @kathrynjosie and I became a party of 3 and I got to work with a lot of wonderful clients, students, and colleagues. I’ll show more of my work from this year in the next couple of months. Thank you, and wishing you all a wonderful 2020. #best9of2019 #bestnine2019 #happynewyear #2020 #ericnyquist #illustration #drawing https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vql5fBhrx/?igshid=10f5r5dpccj6i

Best 9 of 2019 : Life edition.

I had an amazing year, full of travel and adventures. I’m ending this year with the things that matter: friends & family, travel, good food, a bit of writing and a great book. May 2020 bring serenity and joy to us all.
