Every year in October, I take part in the global phenomenon where artists draw every day. Unlike the majority, for copyright issues, I no longer call this by the name the movement started out with, and out of an excess of caution, I also don't use the prompts lest there be an IP issue with them as well. Besides which, it's really fun to ask my fans for help in generating prompts! What I usually do is ask for one or two word prompts. I then put these in two columns, randomize one of them, and then do a little *coffcoff* selective sorting. This way I don't wind up with impossible prompts.
The result? Looks like 2022 will be as much fun as 2021 and 2020 were!
If you'd like to use my prompts, go right ahead! You can copy and paste the list, or grab the image below. If you do that, I'd love to see what you create from them!

I'll be posting these in the art groups, or on Instagram. I'll likely do a weekly post on the blog with that week's work, so I'm not pushing out art all the time.
If, on the other hand, you want to be able to hold them all in your hand at the end? I will be releasing a sketchbook in November with the entire collection of the last two years of output.
