People posted hundreds of drawings for our 30 day January challenge, in which artists are invited to respond to a daily prompt posted on our V. Notes blog. Unlike other drawing challenges, these prompts are wildly varied, open to non-typical materials around us, and are designed to feed a broad spectrum of creative skills at all levels of art making.
Those who hadn’t fallen off the wagon really seemed to hit a stride on week 3. It was very difficult to narrow it down! Below are a few of our favorites.

Jess Ray, A New Humanoid
GMusland, Planta Cauda Motus Looks like a furry house plant, wags like a happy dog.

Eileen S. Canum Clavus Avis Circumdatos Scientists have discovered a new species belonging to the Aves phylum. Canum Clavus Avis Circumdatos appears to maintain a symbiotic relationship with Canus Lupus Familiarus in which it will groom their paws in trade for a safe drawer in which to live. There appears to also be a smaller branch of the family that interacts with Felis Catus in a similar manner.
Mimi Boothby, Striped donkey camel thrives on a diet of plastic
Emma Nadolny, Feather-tailed Chickenmouse, Plumosacauda Pullummus. Lives in fields, forests, and sometimes barns. It’s unsure what it likes best. You may sometimes find it perched on a telephone wire, admiring the sunrise loudly.
