2014: Artist Challenge

Yup. That's right. 2014 is here and it's time to create a bunch of new year resolutions and goals that I will most likely never finish, but hey... it never hurts to try ;)
Besides the traditional goals, like losing weight, saving money, use less facebook...  ect, I have a bunch of art goals in mind. Below is my so called 52 week goals. I won't beat myself up if I miss a week here and there, as I tend to be busy with actual "work work" and all the stuff I want to do is a pretty tall order... but it's nice to have a target or something to remind me that I have a laundry list of unlocked goals I can do, rather than browse more baby pics on facebook or puppy videos on Youtube.
Feel free to join in if you're interested. :)
