You will be holding in your hands a piece of my heart. Say hello to GROWING IN 2025, the 2025 illustrated calendars from NESSART16. 
 
Now, Growing is more than just a calendar; it’s an invitation for you to reconnect with the part of ourselves that has always been there, but sometimes gets overshadowed in the rush of growing up. 2024 for me was filled with love and reflection, and more importantly, connecting to my inner child. And that’s what I wanted to bring into the new edition of the calendars. 
 
Each month, you'll discover an illustration inspired by a piece of my own childhood art, lovingly recreated with the perspective and skill I've developed since then. Revisiting these images allowed me to tap into the wonder, playfulness, and the simplicity I felt as a child, and my hope is that these images help you do the same.
 
Growing is for anyone who wants to remember the childlike fun and wonder of life, a tiny bit in everyday, to honour the little moments, and to find ways to hold joy in both hands. Through each month, let this calendar be a companion, reminding you to play, to explore, and cherish the small joys. May these images and messages bring you closer to your own inner child and remind you that growing up doesn’t mean leaving behind the beauty and magic of being young.
 
Here’s to 2025!
