Description The annual art summary - now with a new layout to accomodate the more Instagram-friendly formats

So, it continues to not be... great. It's the second year in a row I have nothing at all for one of the months and May barely counts because the only thing I have to show for it is an abandoned WIP :C On the other hand, even though I haven't been very prolific this year either there are a good few pieces here that I still am genuinely proud of, which is encouraging. It's not much to the world, but I mainly want to find my way back to the joy of creating again. 2-year art blocks are tough, man. There are a few themes here I hope to expand on in the coming year(s), so we'll see how that goes!

Last year I said I looked forward to reviewing my 2016... and it turned out to be a year that failed to live up to expectations. Every expectation. And here I thought 2015 was rough :'D This year has been nothing but heartbreak upon heartbreak and here at the end I find myself questioning my very identity. For two months this year, I genuinely was happy. Soaring. Then for the remaining ten, I have slipped further and further, down and down and down. Can we do the opposite next year, please 2017?

I hope your year turns out wonderful. Feeling the identity crisis and loss of art joy, too. It sucks so bad. Wishing you some inspiration and sending good vibes, Kanu!!

Of course! Happy to send some virtual hugs

Thanks, and I'm trying to spend more time finding ways to refill my inspiration banks. Listening to music seems to help, and reading more. And trying to get back into some sort of community, though that still takes a lot of introvert energy I don't always have.
