GM! Get ready for Week 6 of the **2026 Calendar Challenge** It’s not about perfect art; it’s about moving from “I want to be creative” to “I’m actually creating.” Pick any medium – collage, paint, digital, found objects – and let the process guide you. After 12 weeks you’ll have a mini‑gallery that sparks the same energy you lit in 2025. --- **This week’s focus: June – Golden Reverie** - **Core Theme:** Golden Reverie - **Prompt:** “Where does my joy shine brightest?” - **Ideas to explore:** sunflowers, beach shells, lavender, Summer Solstice, any source of light and warmth that makes you glow. - **Optional creative exercise:** Play with light and shadow, dive into feelings of joy, warmth, and indulgence, then capture that glow in your chosen medium. Share your June piece with #2026CalendarChallenge and tag nostr:npub1f5kc2agn63ecv2ua4909z9ahgmr2x9263na36jh6r908ql0926jq3nvk2u so the community can celebrate your spark! #Nostr #CreativeHabit #artstr #art #grownostr #challenge

GM! This week has been a whirlwind 🫠 and the rest of the month looks just as hectic (if not more). Sorry in advance, I'll still aim for a weekly sketch and try to finish the #2026CalendarChallenge I’m proud of my consistency, but life’s demands have left little room for creativity 😅 May’s theme “What is overwhelming you right now?” feels spot‑on. My take: a wizard frog overwhelmed by lush foliage. * Where is the poor frog headed? * What was it trying to achieve? * Does it even remember anymore? #artstr #grownostr #art #frogstr #may #calendar

Saw a group if Royal Terns and this one guy had A LOT to say/yell. None of the other birds seemed to care 😂 #dailydrawing #artstr #sketchstr #art #birdstr #art #sketch

Idk why but making and looking at abstract art gives me joy. #artstr #painting #art #abstract

Oops I forgot to post what I made for April in the #2026CalendarChallenge 😅 This month was about renewal. I tried to do it in a softer and somewhat different style. #artstr #art #butterfly #cherryblossoms

We’re kicking off Week 5 in the #2026CalendarChallenge Quick Refresher: Each week you’ll create a visual snapshot of the month that’s breathing through you. Any medium works: collage, paint, digital, found objects… the process matters more than the polished product. **The Core Principle** - One visual piece per week, representing the *feel* of that month. - Embrace experimentation, not perfection. - Turn “I want to be creative” into “I’m actually creating.” **Week 5 – May** - **Core Theme:** *Sensory Overload* - **Prompt:** *“What is overwhelming me right now?”* - **Ideas:** bursting blossoms, buzzing bees, Mother’s Day ribbons, city noise, a packed inbox… whatever floods your senses. **Optional Creative Exercise** Capture the abundance of the senses. Try collage, mixed media, or abstract forms that let texture, sound, scent and color collide on the page. --- Are you in? Drop a reply with a quick “I’m joining” or share a sneak‑peek of what you’ll be working on this week. Let’s light up 2026 together, one week at a time. Share what you've done with #2026CalendarChallenge so we can celebrate the New Year together! #grownostr #artstr #art

I did it! I finished the October Choose Your Own Adventure! It is only 15 pages long, but I had fun putting this together. As I was printing it I thought this might be a fun gift for kids. You can color things in. Although I think I used too many big words 😅 Let me know what you guys think! I uploaded it as a pdf here: https://drive.proton.me/urls/1SRE5YK2NR#0nrc1sarJuQ4 I tried making the page numbers hyperlink to eachother, but idk if it is working. Let me know what you think! #zine #adventure #artstr #art #writing

Trying so hard to wrap up this Choose Your Own Adventure zine! I still have to do 16 simple illustrations. I want it to be done for October's Zine. I've never done anything like this before! #zine #indie #adventure #artstr #art

🌟 **2026 Calendar Challenge – Week 4** 🌟 GM! We’re not just making a calendar; we’re giving the creativity already inside you a visual voice for the year. Every week we **soak up the vibe of a month**, then turn that feeling into a page‑long reminder of the spark you lit in 2025. **Core Principle** - Create **one visual representation of the month** each week. - Any medium works: collage, paint, digital, found objects… - Focus on **process, not product** – the act of making is the reward. --- ### This Week: April – Core Theme **Renewal** **Prompt:** “How do I refresh my creative spirit?” *Think tulips, baby birds, Earth‑Day symbols, fresh rain.* Example: **Optional Creative Exercise** 1. Pick three watercolor hues that feel like April (e.g., soft green, pastel pink, sky blue). 2. Paint a quick **2 × 2 inch swatch** of each. 3. In **5 minutes**, sketch a single blooming flower or leaf over the colors. Share your April page with #2026CalendarChallenge so we can celebrate the renewal together! #grownostr #artstr #art

Today is the end of the Third Week of the #2026CalendarChallenge March! The prompt was: What is stirring beneath the surface? This one I had a pretty clear vision, and was really easy to put down on paper. Here's what I ended up with: For some reason Marching Hare pops up in my mind, and having it run through a field was a fun visual for me. So that's what I did. I feel like I might tweak the scale of some things, and maybe add more texture. But I will reserve that for when I have all my months done. #March #hare #bunny #spring #calendar #artstr #art #grownostr
