What a great visual practice of list making and manifesting. It's also cool to see them throughout the years. Funny how heart ache can bottom out your life, but make you truly reflect on what it is you want. Very inspiring.. i might just do this with my partner as we are making future plans. (What happened in 2013?)

Hi Vanessa, Thank you so much for your feedback. I'm glad that these drawings are interesting to you. 2013 was the year that we did our enormous Killjoy's Kastle: A Lesbian Feminist Haunted House project. It didn't open until October that year but the pre planning and organizing and making had me very very ovewhelmed so it shows in my life plan. All I could do was.....nothing!

I attened your haunted house project! I was very inspired by it as I was also doing a Halloween arts event at the time called Ghost Hole. 2013 was a great year for spooky art!
