The last 30 day creative challenge was so delightful, I thought it might be time to do another. Today I launch the October Creative Challenge!
WANNA DRAW?
You can challenge yourself to do all 30 challenges, 5 a week, or whatever floats your boat. I know sitting down to make even the silliest of doodles can be a big deal for a busy brain, so use this challenge as an excuse to make something whenever you’re able. Short on time? Set a timer for 15 minutes. Try it. You’ll feel better, or your money back. (It’s free.)
I’M IN. HOW DO I JOIN THE CHALLENGE?
If you want to receive the daily creative prompts, make sure you’re on the daily-ish V. Notes email list. If you’re not sure you’re on this list, or if you don’t get an email tomorrow at 7:00am, click here to register.

WHAT IF I WANT OUT?
We’ll miss you, but feel free to unsubscribe at any time.
The drawing above is a finished work by Richard Tuttle. Isn’t it cute? For this challenge, pretend you are sitting at a table with Mr. Tuttle, and he has just handed you this drawing, requesting that you finish his unfinished idea. You can redraw it, print it out, rotate the paper, but please don’t change the placement of his marks on the page. He put them where he meant to. Feel free to use any media, not just drawing. He is known to use string….
SHARING IS CARING
Please please oh please share your drawings on the inkerwebs. We’re on Facebook. If you tag us I’ll get to see them too. #seattleartistleague #inktober

Take a class with SAL – anywhere! Previously, I posted funerary art from the 3rd through the 6th centuries. This post veers far out of that time range, but the unfinished Atlas Slave came up in discussion during today’s figure sculpture class. I got excited to share, so here they are. In 1505, Michelangelo was …

Hey there. Some of you might be wondering why I haven’t sent out a V. Note in a while. I love writing V. Notes, and I am still not at a loss for subject matter. I have a file where I keep artists and ideas I’d like to talk about, and it has hundreds (I …
