The October Wall

Nov. 14 2026

I’ve been working pretty exclusively in my sketchbooks for the last few years (?!), so throughout October, anytime I would have gone for my sketchbook I just went for…well, anything else to draw on I’ve had lying around (hi hello, I tend to be one of those art supply “collectors”, to put it the nicest way possible) to end up with a body of more finished-looking pieces. Then I taped them up to an empty space on one of my walls to create a little gallery of work. Here’s where I landed by the end of the month:

I was not expecting 1) how instantly gratifying it was to see the work building up in front of me in real time and 2) how much it motivated me to keep making more work to add to the wall. Like, I wanted this wall to be 100% covered in art by the end of the month. I didn’t come close to doing that THIS time - so, I’ve decided to make this a monthly thing to keep challenging myself! 


So this is my October Wall. Here’s to a bigger November Wall.

I get a nice little view from my desk while working on other things!
