...well that didn't last very long....

Not even a week into this challenge and I'm already unmotivated. I know that getting into a habit takes effort and pushing through those times you don't want to do it but here's the thing.  The underlining reason I was doing this challenge was to get myself into the habit of drawing everyday. As I started drawing from the prompts I found I kept asking myself "is this helping me get to where I want to go?" No was my daily response. Yes it was helping me sketch everyday but my biggest pressing project is the Zion residency coming up in March 2015. 

That got me thinking that maybe I should switch gears and focus on drawing my images for that project instead of just random sketches. So now here is my new challenge to myself, 30 drawings in 30 days for my Zion residency. Each day (hopefully) I will post a new drawing for my project, jump-starting me into the carving phase sooner, so that hopefully I can reach my goal of having all my prints printed before January 2015. That gives me 3 months! 

So here I go! I got up this morning and cut all of my Sintra for my prints so that I had the boards all ready to go. And here they are...


10- 8x10
10- 11x14
5- 16x20
5- 18x24
A total of 30 images for my residency show. So let the 30 day Zion residency challenge begin! 

Oh p.s. If your following me or happen to see what I'm working on, leave a comment or share this with others. I like to think that you all are enjoying what I'm doing but it's nice to get some interaction. It will also hold me more accountable if I knew others were watching me and expecting me to get a drawing done everyday. Thanks!
