Last weekend, Karin and I treated our "inner child" to a magic arts festival:

We visited the #NerdShowBologna, a two-day convention with #comics, #games, #cosplay, and many small stands featuring #indieartists

I especially enjoyed the classic arcade machines and the vintage computers with their legendary games I grew up with.

The highlight for us, of course, was seeing James Masters, aka "Spike" from Buffy the vampire slayer, up close-practically within bite distance.

I wish you all a healthy, successful and creative year 2026 ๐ŸŽ‰.

Today is my first work day in the new year, and so it's time to write my traditional review of my projects 2025 and, of course, a preview of 2026.

You will find my thoughts on my (free) Patreon:

The world needs more real (indie) artists and art than ever ๐ŸŽจ.

I'm looking forward to meeting many of you in real life again this year.

Ci vediamo,

Helge
