The 100 Day Project: Days 11 - 20

In case you missed my last post, I started the 100 day project on April 7th.
Here are the latest bunch of party animals...
11/100: Sure, Dolores may not have technically *needed* a mask, but she was always a bit of an overachiever... and that definitely included masquerade ball accessorizing. 

12/100: Randy wondered if coming to the party might have been a mistake...

13/100: Phineas is ready to party, but transportation is turning out to be trickier than anticipated.


14/100: This party animal crashed last night's zoom meeting... 
(At least he brought toilet paper!)

15/100: A sketchy start inspired by Bulldogs Are Beautiful Day.

16/100: When Steve goes to a party, there's usually a lot of swatting and shooing. But an Earth Day Party?!? He's a VIP VIB!


17/100: Despite his glum appearance, Glenn was truly having the time of his life.

18, 19, and 20/100: A few feathered friends...

For more regular updates, you can find me on Instagram.

The 100 Day Project: Days 1 - 10


I've joined #The100DayChallenge! If you're on Instagram and would like daily updates, you can follow my progress @kristindudish. I also thought it would be fun to share the project in groups of 10 here on the blog. The theme I've chosen is #100DaysofPartyAnimals. 


1/100: Well, there is certainly no moosetaking that Clark is the life of the party!



2/100: Coco's pre-party preparations may have led to some overly enthusiastic color choices... The (possibly) good news? Her normal skunky aroma (off putting to some) has been overshadowed by the distinct smell of hair dye.




3/100: Laverne never shows up to a party empty handed, and her blue ribbon square pie is always a crowd pleaser.




4/100: Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water... This is the start of my next party animal. (Pool party, anyone?)



5/100: Pete was so excited to have actually been invited to a pool party, he may have gone a bit overboard in his preparations.



6/100: As an expert in a different holiday, Jerry was excited to be invited to a Halloween party. Unfortunately, his costume making skills were not nearly as advanced as his egg decorating talents.



7/100: A scribbly sketchy start of an idea.



8/100: Binkwee loves book birthday parties, and he is extra excited about ANTI/HERO written by the fabulous Kate Karyus Quinn and Demitria Lunetta with amazing art by Maca Gil! Happy Pub Day!




9/100: "Masquerade", acrylic on fabric (attached to an old cabinet door), 2011. One of the things I've been doing during quarantine is cleaning (and trying to organize) my studio. While going through a closet, I discovered this "party animal" that I painted in 2011... I'm thinking I may need to create an updated version for The 100 Day Challenge.




10/100: Playing with an idea inspired by yesterday's post...


Please be sure to let me know if you're doing the challenge too - I'd love to see what you've been creating for it!

Challenges


** UPDATED 6/4/2018 **
(I will continue to update this list as I find more challenges.)

I was recently looking to see if there were any new art challenges to try this summer, and stumbled upon the #kidlitsummers hashtag... It is a fun (but relaxed) challenge that "draws on" summertime memories from childhood.  It runs from June 1st - August 31st, but there aren't any strict deadlines or rules... It's perfect for my unpredictable summer schedule!

Since I thought you might be looking for a challenge too, and because I thought it would be handy to have all of the art challenges (that I know of) in one place, I have created the following list:

(created by Lily Williams)
This Instagram and Twitter based challenge only has 3 "rules":
1. Draw your favorite summer memories from being a kid.
2. Post them online with the hashtag #kidlitsummers
3. Share images any day from June 1st - August 31st.

(created by Daisy Yellow)
"A creative challenge, not a competition.  
Make something on an index card every day for 61 days. That's it."
This challenge runs from June 1st - July 31st.
(You can see some of my past index cards here.)

(created by Rhianna Wurman @ellolovey)
An Instagram based challenge with daily drawing prompts.
This challenge runs year round (prompts are updated each month).

(IllustrationFriday.com)

"Childhood Week is a 2 week event distributed in 2 separate weeks along the year: One for Summer, one for Winter.  The main goal is to remember and show each other our childhood with either paintings, photographs, anything fun!" 
(Click here for the official rules and prompt list.)

(created by Jake Parker)
"31 days, 31 drawings" (in INK)

(#mermay)
I'm not sure who was the first one to start this challenge... In May, artists devote the month to creating a new mermaid themed drawing each day (and labeling it with #mermay).  There are always many prompt lists if you're looking for ideas.

And last, but certainly not least...

The weekly challenge that I helped create 7 years ago...


(created by EVA and Me!)
Paint Party Friday is a relaxed weekly challenge for painters (of all types) to check-in, share works in progress, and/or finished paintings.

These are all of the art challenges (that I know of).
Please let me know if I've missed any!

Happy Creating!!!

Another Weekly Round-Up!


This week was busy... Between end of the school year activities for Tyler, a memorial service for Corky, and my wedding anniversary, I knew finding some studio time was going to be a challenge.  But, I was determined to stay on track with the index card a day(icad 2013) and doodle a day challenges.

So, armed with a stack of index cards and a couple of ballpoint pens (black and red), I created the following quickies on the fly...

But, wait!  Before you look at this week's doodles, I feel I should issue a warning of sorts.  Based on the frequency of Bob's eye-rolling and 
"oh boy"s as he looked at my cards, I feel I may have really pushed the limits of pun-making.

Okay, you've been warned...

icad #8 
doodle a day june: "activity" 
(baseball bat)

icad #9
doodle a day june: "city"
(traffic jam)

icad #10
doodle a day june: "garden"
(two-lips)

icad #11
doodle a day june: "your home"
(mushrooms)

icad #12
doodle a day june: "furniture"
(toad stool)

icad #13
doodle a day june: "era"
(the 80's - Mr. Tea)

icad #14
doodle a day june: "planet"
(Neptune)

Weekly Round-Up!


I have been having so much fun playing along with Daisy Yellow's Index Card A Day (icad 2013), and Ello Lovey's Doodle A Day June.

It seems that these prompts have brought out my silly side.  And, my dear friend Tracey has issued me another challenge of sorts... She says that if I'm able to complete 61 of these punny cards, I will truly be the "Queen of Puns".  Well, since I love puns, cliches, jokes, riddles, and basically all things ridiculous... And, since I have a hard time backing down from a dare... I say,
"Challenge Accepted!" (Get my crown ready, Tracey!)

In case you missed any of this past week's index cards, here is a "round-up":

(An elephant (with a trunk), wearing swim trunks, carrying... A trunk!)


If you want regular index card updates, please be sure to visit me on instagram or on facebook.  Daily blog updates are seeming more and more unlikely (especially since I'm planning on participating in The Summer of Color at the Twinkle Twinkle blog).

Please stop by Daisy Yellow's to see what other artists have been creating for Index Card A Day 2013.  And, to get the Doodle A Day June prompt list head over to Ello Lovey's blog.

Stay tuned - there's lots of summertime silliness in store!
