GM it's a beautiful chilly day out. I tried that Nordic thing where they let babies sleep outside. Idk if it did anything, but I got a chance to be outside!

With that thought process Animal Farm is hilarious and for kids with no meaningful message.
I know Watership Down has traumatized many children who's parents mistakenly thought it was going to be a cute story
This guy must be a terrible journalist. Using animals to symbolize more complex thoughts and ideas is a very powerful tool in the writer's arsenal.

It has been a tough morning. Lots of crying. The baby also cried. Haha jk. But ultimately I think baby just wanted to be held. Don't we all?

**🎉 Final Post: #2026CalendarChallenge**
**Congratulations** on making it to the end of this creative journey together! We did it – twelve months, twelve visual expressions of our inner worlds.
I'm using this final week to go back through my calendar, making it feel a bit more cohesive and adding some final touches to earlier months. There's something special about letting each page rest for a while before coming back with fresh eyes.
I know this has been a tough challenge at times – showing up week after week to create something new when life gets busy or inspiration feels distant. That's why I'd love to hear from you even if you didn't finish or just followed the journey:
- What did you **like most** about the challenge?
- What aspects did you **struggle with**?
- Did you discover anything new about your creative process?
Your feedback helps me understand what worked and how to make future creative prompts even more meaningful.
As we turn the page (literally and figuratively), I hope this calendar project has helped light your creativity for the coming year. May the habit of playful exploration continue beyond these pages, carrying the spark of 2025 into whatever comes next.
Thank you for creating alongside me!
Here's my calendar:

For my last #2026CalendarChallenge I wanted something with a wolf. Then I was reminded of the Norse myth Sköll that chases the sun. Until Ragnarok where she catches up and eats it.
https://image.nostr.build/fcee2ea5951b62f8e45c1314fbe47a1e33221de6d46c40d5c285b07d219c8759.jpg
Despite the whole apocalypse bit, it's somewhat inspiring that she chases the sun everyday.
How will I carry my creative fire forward? By staying consistant like Sköll.

**🎄 2026 Calendar Challenge – Week 12 (December)**
**Core Principle** – Each week, create one visual representation of the month. Any medium. Collage, paint, digital, found objects… doesn't matter. Emphasis on process, not product.
This is our final week – Week 12, December!
Core Theme: Reflection & Light
Prompt: *“How will I carry this year's creative fire forward?”*
Examples to inspire your creation:
- Evergreen wreaths – resilience and continuity
- Candles – small flames illuminating the darkness
- Snowflakes – unique patterns in stillness
- Holiday lights – individual points creating collective beauty
**Optional Creative Exercise** – Design your final calendar spread. Include a small "artist's manifesto" and set intentions for 2026. What will you carry with you into the new year?
**Congratulations** for making it this far! Your commitment to showing up creatively each week is something to celebrate. These pages are more than just a calendar – they're a record of your creative journey, tangible proof of moving from "I want to be creative" to "I'm actually creating."
As we complete this 12-week cycle, remember that the habit of playful exploration doesn't have to end. The creative fire sparked through this challenge can continue to warm your creative path into the new year.
Here's to reflecting on the light of this year and carrying it forward into 2026!

**Core Principle** – Each week, create one visual representation of the month. Any medium. Collage, paint, digital, found objects… doesn't matter. Emphasis on process, not product.
November – Theme: Gratitude & Roots
Prompt: *“What foundations support my creativity?”*
Examples to inspire:
- Crimson maples, shedding to reveal strength
- Deep red cranberries, gathered in thanks
- Wild turkeys, grounded and purposeful
- Native American art patterns, honoring ancestral creativity
**Optional Creative Exercise** – Write a gratitude list of 30 items that nurture your creative spirit. Then illustrate one using ink and gold leaf (or similar materials that feel rich and grounding).
As we move toward year's end, we acknowledge what holds us up – the unseen foundations that let our creativity grow strong. Each page becomes a tangible reminder of what sustains us through creation and beyond.
Let's honor November's gift of reflection and give thanks to the roots that feed our creative work.

**🍂 2026 Calendar Challenge – Week 10 (October)**
**Core Principle** – Each week, create one visual representation of the month. Any medium. Collage, paint, digital, found objects… doesn't matter. Emphasis on process, not product. This journey is about digging up the creativity that's already inside you and giving it a visual voice.
October – Theme: Shadow & Mystery
Prompt: *“What hidden parts of me are ready to emerge?”*
Examples to spark your creativity:
- 🎃 Pumpkins – both carved and whole, full of hidden light
- 🌫️ Misty forests – where paths disappear and secrets linger
- 🐱 Black cats – mysterious companions at the edge of vision
- 💀 Dia de los Muertos skulls – honoring what's beneath the surface
**Optional Creative Exercise** – Draw a "masked self" and write a dialogue between the mask and the true self. What truths might emerge when they speak?
Every page becomes a little reminder of the spark you're creating, moving from "I want to be creative" to "I'm actually creating" – building a habit that sticks.
Let's embrace October's shadows and see what emerges.

**🌬️ 2026 Calendar Challenge – Week 9 (September)**
**Core Principle** – Each week, create one visual representation of the month. Any medium. The process matters, not the product. We're building a creative habit that lasts.
September – Theme: Transition
Prompt: *“What are you leaving behind? What are you stepping towards?”*
Examples to consider:
- Changing leaves – from green to gold, letting go gracefully
- Ripe harvests – gathering what was planted in spring
- Migrating birds – instinctively moving toward what’s next
**Optional Creative Exercise** – Explore transitional spaces. Focus on liminal imagery – doorways, horizons, twilight hours. Capture the feeling of being on the verge of something new.
Each page is a record of where you were and where you're heading – a visual anchor for the change in season and in yourself.
Let’s make September a turning point in more ways than one.

I think it is a tad bit more complex than lack of discipline. Yea, sure they don't have any. But that's because kids are growing up neglected and ignored. Not because they are coddled. Although, I can agree with a lack of culture/community.
The iPad/iPhone and the school system/government is the parent replacement. Genuine communication and family dynamic does not exist anymore.
You could link it back to broken money/broken system if you want. I don't know if I can only blame parents that have 2 to 3 jobs each to make ends meet. It is tough times, with bad options and no community to fall back on. Sure some of the blame is on the parents. They made their choices. But the choices they were given often are "which one is the lesser evil?"

**🌾 2026 Calendar Challenge – Week 8 (August)**
**Core Principle** – One visual per week, any medium. The journey matters more than the result. This isn’t about perfect art – it’s about finding your creative rhythm.
**August – Theme: Harvest of Light**
Prompt: *“What abundance am I gathering?”*
- 🌽 Golden corn swaying in fields
- 🍅 Sun‑ripe tomatoes heavy on the vine
- 🦋 Butterflies dancing in warm air
- 🎒 Back‑to‑School motifs – fresh starts, new possibilities
**Optional Creative Exercise** – Pick three objects that scream abundance. Sketch each as a tiny icon in just 1 minute. Then give each a one‑word metaphor.
This is your weekly tap into creativity. Each page becomes a keepsake of what sparked in *you* during 2026.
✨ Move from “I should create” to “I *am* creating.” Let’s make August glow.

July's #2026CalendarChallenge "What does freedom look like for me?" I always associated the wild west with the rawest form of freedom. It's rough and unforgiving. But you absolutely can do whatever you want especially if you can avoid the authorities. Also, July is SO HOT. A desert seemed appropriate.

**2026 Calendar Challenge – Week 7 (July)**
**Core Principle** – Each week you make ONE visual for the month. Any medium, any style. The process is the prize, not the polish.
**July – Theme: Freedom**
Prompt: *“What does freedom look like for me?”*
- 💥 Fireworks exploding in night‑sky
- 🇺🇸 Red‑white‑blue ribbons fluttering
- 🍉 Juicy watermelon slices, bright and open
- 🕊️ Birds soaring beyond the horizon
**Optional Creative Exercise** – Write a short story about a liberated version of yourself and illustrate a key scene.
**Why it matters** – You’re shifting from “I want to be creative” to “I’m actually creating.” These 12 weeks plant a habit of playful exploration that lives long after the calendar is filled.

GM cafe's are great to hang at while in between appointments. Usually I try to do things back to back, but sometimes that doesn't work out. I also got a cinimon roll donut. What will they think of next???

GM! Get ready for Week 6 of the **2026 Calendar Challenge**
It’s not about perfect art; it’s about moving from “I want to be creative” to “I’m actually creating.”
Pick any medium – collage, paint, digital, found objects – and let the process guide you. After 12 weeks you’ll have a mini‑gallery that sparks the same energy you lit in 2025.
---
**This week’s focus: June – Golden Reverie**
- **Core Theme:** Golden Reverie
- **Prompt:** “Where does my joy shine brightest?”
- **Ideas to explore:** sunflowers, beach shells, lavender, Summer Solstice, any source of light and warmth that makes you glow.
- **Optional creative exercise:** Play with light and shadow, dive into feelings of joy, warmth, and indulgence, then capture that glow in your chosen medium.
Share your June piece with #2026CalendarChallenge and tag @npub1f5k…vk2u so the community can celebrate your spark!

Yea, it seems like a natural progression. But it is still stupid and I don't have to be a part of it. So that's a positive I guess 😅

GM! This week has been a whirlwind 🫠 and the rest of the month looks just as hectic (if not more). Sorry in advance, I'll still aim for a weekly sketch and try to finish the #2026CalendarChallenge
I’m proud of my consistency, but life’s demands have left little room for creativity 😅
May’s theme “What is overwhelming you right now?” feels spot‑on. My take: a wizard frog overwhelmed by lush foliage.

* Where is the poor frog headed?
* What was it trying to achieve?
* Does it even remember anymore?

Saw a group if Royal Terns and this one guy had A LOT to say/yell. None of the other birds seemed to care 😂

I painted it this way and then turned it 😂
That's the beauty of abstract paintings everyone sees something else.

Oops I forgot to post what I made for April in the #2026CalendarChallenge 😅
This month was about renewal. I tried to do it in a softer and somewhat different style.

We’re kicking off Week 5 in the #2026CalendarChallenge
Quick Refresher: Each week you’ll create a visual snapshot of the month that’s breathing through you. Any medium works: collage, paint, digital, found objects… the process matters more than the polished product.
**The Core Principle**
- One visual piece per week, representing the *feel* of that month.
- Embrace experimentation, not perfection.
- Turn “I want to be creative” into “I’m actually creating.”
**Week 5 – May**
- **Core Theme:** *Sensory Overload*
- **Prompt:** *“What is overwhelming me right now?”*
- **Ideas:** bursting blossoms, buzzing bees, Mother’s Day ribbons, city noise, a packed inbox… whatever floods your senses.
**Optional Creative Exercise**
Capture the abundance of the senses. Try collage, mixed media, or abstract forms that let texture, sound, scent and color collide on the page.
