A final batch of the best 2023 drawings. Most are in the 8″ x 8″ journal; this size has helped redefine the art journal for me. The redefinition is basically to think of each page as abstract art, as a soul exploration, and not just as a diary of daily doodles. With one exception, all 2023 journal art has been abstract, but this certainly won’t always be the case.
