We are one week into our 30 Day Challenge for January. We’ve had a lot of fun looking at all the posts! Some were technically impressive, others highly creative, and some made us laugh. Here are a few of our favorites so far.
Day 1: Before & After
Self portrait on Jan 1 2020, vs Jan 1 2021
This endearing and relatable buttery submission was created by Jonah Connolly-Cruz. You’ll see more of Jonah’s creations in a bit.
Day 2: Panels
Assemble panels to form a larger composition
These two mountainscapes were assembled by Karen Bell. Karen got more than one choice fave in this week too!
Day 3: Submerge
Show something partially submerged by water
There were some clever and beautiful creations for this, but Jonah Connolly-Cruz got us with their unique style. The text gave us the giggles.

Day 4: Pathways
This challenge produced the best artworks by far, and there were a lot of them. I’ll be sharing these in a separate post.
Day 5: Dream
Recreate a dream
This challenge received a lot of great responses, too!

Day 6: Pringles
What does the Pringles man look like?
This challenge had so many creative and funny submissions, I’m going to put them in their own post, but first, I did want to share this fantastic gravity defying Pringle’s Ringle, from Eileen Sliwinski. Wow!
