This is my week 9 September #2026CalendarChallenge image I meant to post it yesterday. I actually did finish it on time. I decided to try more graphic imagery. Thought the redtailed hawk would be fun. And it is holding the harvest moon because I think that happens in September. #grownostr #artstr #art #design
**🍂 2026 Calendar Challenge – Week 10 (October)** **Core Principle** – Each week, create one visual representation of the month. Any medium. Collage, paint, digital, found objects… doesn't matter. Emphasis on process, not product. This journey is about digging up the creativity that's already inside you and giving it a visual voice. October – Theme: Shadow & Mystery Prompt: *“What hidden parts of me are ready to emerge?”* Examples to spark your creativity: - 🎃 Pumpkins – both carved and whole, full of hidden light - 🌫️ Misty forests – where paths disappear and secrets linger - 🐱 Black cats – mysterious companions at the edge of vision - 💀 Dia de los Muertos skulls – honoring what's beneath the surface **Optional Creative Exercise** – Draw a "masked self" and write a dialogue between the mask and the true self. What truths might emerge when they speak? Every page becomes a little reminder of the spark you're creating, moving from "I want to be creative" to "I'm actually creating" – building a habit that sticks. Let's embrace October's shadows and see what emerges. #2026CalendarChallenge #CreativeHabit #ShadowAndMystery #OctoberPrompt #artstr #grownostr
It is crazy to me that these giant beasts just let us lead them around, and even sit on them! Horses are pretty neat. #dailydrawing #artstr #sketchstr #art #sketch #horse image
GM it's a tough life being a dog. I think it's cute when dogs look so serious. What are you thinking so hard about doggo?? image #artstr #sketchstr #art #sketch #dailydrawing #dogstr #dog #goodboy I imagine they are thinking something like this:
I am a few days late with finishing August Week 8 of the #2026CalendarChallenge But the point is to keep going! August was a hard month for me to figure out. image I don't really have anything strongly associated with August except the seasons kind of start changing. I think this is the time when Farmer's start getting ready for the harvest too. #artstr #art #grownostr #calendar
**🌬️ 2026 Calendar Challenge – Week 9 (September)** **Core Principle** – Each week, create one visual representation of the month. Any medium. The process matters, not the product. We're building a creative habit that lasts. September – Theme: Transition Prompt: *“What are you leaving behind? What are you stepping towards?”* Examples to consider: - Changing leaves – from green to gold, letting go gracefully - Ripe harvests – gathering what was planted in spring - Migrating birds – instinctively moving toward what’s next **Optional Creative Exercise** – Explore transitional spaces. Focus on liminal imagery – doorways, horizons, twilight hours. Capture the feeling of being on the verge of something new. Each page is a record of where you were and where you're heading – a visual anchor for the change in season and in yourself. Let’s make September a turning point in more ways than one. #2026CalendarChallenge #grownostr #artstr #art #Calendar #CreativeHabit #Transition #LiminalSpaces
Happy Halloween! I grabbed my sketchbook to doodle a calming scene during a stressful week. #dailydrawing #artstr #sketchstr #art #sketch image
**🌾 2026 Calendar Challenge – Week 8 (August)** **Core Principle** – One visual per week, any medium. The journey matters more than the result. This isn’t about perfect art – it’s about finding your creative rhythm. **August – Theme: Harvest of Light** Prompt: *“What abundance am I gathering?”* - 🌽 Golden corn swaying in fields - 🍅 Sun‑ripe tomatoes heavy on the vine - 🦋 Butterflies dancing in warm air - 🎒 Back‑to‑School motifs – fresh starts, new possibilities **Optional Creative Exercise** – Pick three objects that scream abundance. Sketch each as a tiny icon in just 1 minute. Then give each a one‑word metaphor. This is your weekly tap into creativity. Each page becomes a keepsake of what sparked in *you* during 2026. ✨ Move from “I should create” to “I *am* creating.” Let’s make August glow. #2026CalendarChallenge #grownostr #artstr #art #HarvestOfLight #NostrArt
July's #2026CalendarChallenge "What does freedom look like for me?" I always associated the wild west with the rawest form of freedom. It's rough and unforgiving. But you absolutely can do whatever you want especially if you can avoid the authorities. Also, July is SO HOT. A desert seemed appropriate. image #artstr #art #calendar #challenge
Its hard to do observational drawings when you're having lunch with someone who's not an artist 😂 I didn't want to seem rude, so this page is not filled up. #dailydrawing #artstr #sketchstr #art #sketch image
**2026 Calendar Challenge – Week 7 (July)** **Core Principle** – Each week you make ONE visual for the month. Any medium, any style. The process is the prize, not the polish. **July – Theme: Freedom** Prompt: *“What does freedom look like for me?”* - 💥 Fireworks exploding in night‑sky - 🇺🇸 Red‑white‑blue ribbons fluttering - 🍉 Juicy watermelon slices, bright and open - 🕊️ Birds soaring beyond the horizon **Optional Creative Exercise** – Write a short story about a liberated version of yourself and illustrate a key scene. **Why it matters** – You’re shifting from “I want to be creative” to “I’m actually creating.” These 12 weeks plant a habit of playful exploration that lives long after the calendar is filled. Share your July piece with #2026CalendarChallenge and tag @existingsprinkles so the community can celebrate your spark! #Nostr #CreativeHabit #artstr #art #grownostr #challenge
This week's #2026CalendarChallenge for June is "where does my joy shine brightest?" I definitely find myself happiest when it is sunny outside, so I drew the sun! image #artstr #art #grownostr
FREEDOM visited today. #dailydrawing #artstr #sketchstr #art #sketch image Saw a bald eagle! It was eating either a rabbit or a duck. Little crows were harassing it trying to get some food. Very exciting stuff. That must be a good omen right?
