• The FOMO around AI
• Government taxation starting January 1, 2026
• Rising food and housing costs
• Graduates without jobs

Reflecting on these realities,
I carefully developed this cartoon to show how many of us are already imagining 2026.
The truth is, we don’t control reality, but our perception shapes how we respond to it.

My message is simple:
let’s face the challenges of 2026 with clarity, responsibility, and the right actions.

*Headshot Illustration of Rob Hodes*

In July, I began working on a digital headshot illustration of Rob Hodes. An illustration project that quickly became one of the most meaningful pieces I’ve ever created. I wanted to do more than just illustrate his image; I wanted to capture his essence, the calm confidence in his eyes, the strength in his presence, and the quiet brilliance that defines him.

I used Adobe Illustrator, spending hours refining every line and tone. The precision of his suit, the balance of shadows and light on his suit, and the detailed illustration of his glasses were all carefully designed to reflect his character.
He is focused, intelligent, and refined.

I revisited the work multiple times throughout July and August, using different layers of color until details.
I finally completed this masterpiece in the month of August.

Looking at the finished masterpiece Rob in his blue suit and red tie, looking poised and self-assured.
I felt a deep sense of fulfillment.

It wasn’t just a portrait; it was a reflection of strength, vision, and authenticity.

Throughout this project, Rob was incredibly supportive and professional.
He responded promptly, shared thoughtful feedback, and showed a level of trust that made collaboration seamless.

In addition, I want to appreciate Elizabeth (My Godmother) for connecting me with Rob.
She contributed a lot to the success of this project.
Her encouragement and insight didn’t just shape this artwork (masterpiece). She helped me grow as an artist and as a person.

Working on this project reminded me why I create: to tell stories through art, to honor character, and to celebrate the unique gifts that make each of us extraordinary.

Yours sincerely,
