Welcome to day 2 of our 30 Day Creative Challenge! This year is so darned special, there are two simultaneous challenges. The primary challenge is to respond to the creative prompts in these posts, and see what happens. The alternative challenge is to make a comic based on the year 2020. You choose what you’re up for today. Today’s prompt will be applicable to both.

30SAL Challenge: Panels
Gather old drawings, abandoned paintings, magazines, catalogues, newspapers, fabric, wrappers, labels, whatever you have around you.

They’re called Window Collages. The titles are poetic/scientific documentations: night …

Still Lifes I haven’t had much time to write but I’m seeing V. Note inspirations everywhere, so even though I can’t type a long and thoughtful post, I wanted to send you these still lifes by Lucy MacGillis, because I like them and they get me thinking about my own work, and upcoming classes for …
