Art and Comics
2023 already? I was just beginning to accept it was 2022. No resolutions this year. I am striving to live a healthier life in 2023 by eating better and exercising more. Looking to make some lifestyle changes. Hoping I can keep my sense of humor through it all.
I’ve started doing more one-panel comics. I don’t want to do them exclusively but love the challenge of setting up and delivering a joke in a limited space. The Far Side by Gary Larson is by far my biggest comic influence. The one-panel comic is just close to my heart so I want to create more and get better at it.
I’m so excited about this project! Each month I will offer a monthly calendar page that you can download by clicking on the image. Next year the goal will be to have all pages down at one time but this is a learning process so I’m hoping that by the time December rolls around that these calendar pages will be *chefs kiss* perfection!
Until then, I will do one at a time and tweak as I go.
2022 was definitely 365 days. At the end of 2021, I had big plans for 2022 but got off to a very slow start. Some personal issues kept me from starting the year off as I had hoped but by the time summer rolled around, I was back into a planning and futuristic mode.
By August I had finally started posting regularly with a new comic every Friday. I think this makes 2022 the year I have done the most comics! So yay for that!
For Comictober, I drew a comic for nearly every prompt which was exciting considering not only drawing a comic but coloring it in one day.
In December, I did a project I had been wanting to do for the past two years – an Advent alphabet countdown where all the words are related to the holiday. It was so nice to finish a project that I’m super motivated going into 2023 to do another project.
It’s nice to finally feel like I am seeing progress in my comic output and hoping to continue throughout 2023.
Zizz is my new favorite word. Look at that! Three Z’s! As a verb, Zizz can mean to doze or sleep which is perfect for Christmas day.
