Joyce Ann (InkGizmo) Martin 2013 Summary!

| December 1, 2013 | 0 Comments

If thumbnails aren’t your thing, you can check out the blog post archive of my entire run of 30 Characters in 30 Days 2013 here.

                             

I am happy to have succeeded in my first year as a challenger! I used 2013 as a month of no-pressure discovery by exploring subjects that I like while experimenting with my method. Along the way I ended up developing some good time-management habits for sure! It also left me anxious to start storytelling again, which was an interesting and encouraging feeling. It’ll be fun to look back on this set next year!

If you liked my work, more of my illustrations and visual musings can be found on my blog: http://blog.inkgizmo.com
You can connect with me on Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook.

Cheers and congratulations to all participants!

She was always up for mischief, even when dressed in her Sunday best.
