Fright Fall is a yearly month long drawing challenge hosted by the fine folks at Retro Supply Co. Every day is a new spooky prompt, and as I enjoy lettering, most of these have the words incorporated, so I did both an illustration and lettering. I drew every day for the entire month of October. It was a lot, but I’m really proud of the work and detail I accomplished in that time.

Day 25

This was a month long project where, as stated above, I drew something every day. I’m grateful for the time spent doing it, but the expectation that you can create something you’re proud of every day is unrealistic. Day 25 was the day I hit the wall. ‘Puzzlebox’ was the prompt and I just had nothing. I tried many ideas and just couldn’t see it through. So I wrote the word puzzle in a box and then vented about how I was frustrated in the post on Instagram. The interesting thing was the amount of support I got for being honest about my frustration. Rather than doing nothing I posted about it and people rallied and supported me. It felt good.
