Welcome back to us, welcome back to you (is it too late to say Happy New Year?), and welcome back to our newsletter, where we're saying a big welcome to a New Artist (trust us, this one's worth the bandwidth)!

We're also taking a (is it too early to say nostalgic?) look back at all the things we did in 2025\. And there's some Dear Jacky goodness and BTS thrown in too. You're welcome!

## New Artist: Rich Wells

New year, new artist! We are beyond excited to have [@richwells](https://www.instagram.com/richwells/?ref=news.jackywinter.com) join the Jacky Winter roster!

Maker of moving collages, Rich remixes place and memory with photos, video, paper and sounds to create 3D, dream-like worlds. Growing up in the ’90s, he loved taking photos but was always disappointed when the prints came back flat, distant and boring. Then one day he opened an art book and discovered David Hockney’s Pearblossom Highway. His mind was blown! He’s been making his own photo-joiners ever since.

Rich’s current tool of choice is a pair of Sheffield-made Earnest Wright scissors and his favourite antidote for doom-scrolling is drawing trees. Check out his full folio and bio via: [rich.jackywinter.com](https://www.jackywinter.com/artists/rich-wells?ref=news.jackywinter.com) 🌳

## A New Year's resolution that's also an AI-antidote

In our first Dear Jacky post for the year, Jacky Winter founder Jeremy Wortsman writes about the magic, mess and meaning of commissioning original artwork and discusses how commissioning a piece of art (from an actual human artist) is a great antidote for AI slop in 2026.

Jeremy also offers some ideas on things you can commission for yourself (or your loved ones) and provides some handy pointers on how to approach the process of commissioning an artist for a personal piece.

Read the full article [here](https://www.jackywinter.com/dear-jacky/what-is-your-new-year-s-resolution-for-2026?ref=news.jackywinter.com), and watch a reel of Jeremy chatting about the inspiration behind his post [here](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTrm8vqDC%5Fy/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fweb%5Fcopy%5Flink&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==)!

## Jerry-Lee's art goes under the microscope

[@jerbosmans](https://www.instagram.com/jerbosmans/?ref=news.jackywinter.com) teamed up with Rick Barry to get up close and personal with lipids, blood and iron cells, reimagining what’s under the microscope to create these dynamic visuals for health testing platform Prescient. Bloop! 🧬

## Team JW: December 2025 BTS Recap

Here’s a quick look back at what we got up to at the end of last year, featuring some wholesome EOY group hangs, as well as some actual footage of us riding into the new year / what happens when you try to go bike riding in your thirties (bump bump bump) 🚴‍♂️
