Reflecting on life, fountain pens, coloring, and digital creative journeys.
So I had every intention of doing more with the March of Robots art challenge but as I started working on it, I found myself uninspired. Robots just don’t interest me. I was also running into a constant problem for me. I had big ideas and no real way to implement them. I had ideas … Continue reading March of Robots – Update
For this NinaJaneArt challenge the prompt list below was chosen randomly by her stream viewers. While she is using it to create individual tarot cards for each of the 6 prompts as part of a larger project to create her own deck, I went a different route. I chose to create a tableau using all … Continue reading Fate or Fortune Challenge Part 1
I decided to combines days 2 & 3 because I had an idea for a drawing that put them together. The drawing is very basic and not nearly as detailed as it was in my head but this is often the case for creative endeavors with me. Big ideas that are harder to execute. If … Continue reading March of Robots Days 2 & 3: Upgrade and Refresh
The first prompt of the March of Robots art challenge is robot head 01. The reason for the 01 is that there are 4 robot head prompts during this month long challenge. Drawing is hard for me. I can't do freehand. I mean I can but I hate how it looks. I obsess over the … Continue reading March of Robots Day 1: Robot Head 01

Today’s Xmas Magic prompt was “Wonderful.” Normally a prompt like this would leave me scratching my head or forcing some bad poetry, however in this particular case, I got an idea. As soon as I saw the word “Wonderful” the phrase “It’s the most wonderful time of the year” came to mind and I knew … Continue reading Wonderful
I am no stranger to snow. I am also no fan of snow. I moved to Florida in part to escape snow. That said snow is pretty when it’s falling and you can watch it out your window from the warmth of your home. Or when it is freshly fallen and undisturbed. I think I … Continue reading Snow
Today’s prompt for the Xmas Magic challenge is Santa. Growing up Jewish, Santa wasn’t really a thing but the motif has always been present. The first thing I thought of when I saw this prompt was the traditional Santa face. I thought I could glass etch that on to something maybe an ornament and that … Continue reading Santa

The challenge consists of 12 different prompts, words that the children of one of her friends and fellow streamers came up with when asked about Christmas and New Years. While Nina will be putting all of … Continue reading Nina Jane Art Xmas Magic Challenge
