We'd like to extend out heartfelt gratitude to all our clients, artists and colleagues for making this year truly remarkable. Your creativity, trust and collaboration have shaped an unforgettable 2025, and we're excited for the incredible work we'll continue to create together in the year ahead.

A special thank-you to Donough O’Malley for crafting this magical festive illustration, and to all our talented illustrators whose imagination and artistry light up our projects all year round.

With your ongoing support, we’re proud to share that we’ve helped plant more than 2.25 million trees in Zambia and Ethiopia since launching our campaign in December 2012. Our long-standing partnerships with WeForest and 1% for the Planet ensure that 1% of every commission goes directly toward this meaningful environmental effort. Thanks to the amazing projects entrusted to our illustrators and animators, new trees are planted every single day.

Looking ahead, we’re thrilled to announce our new long-term goal: 10 million trees - a milestone we’re committed to reaching together. (Learn more about the campaign here.)
