This is the visual story of how I created an artwork every day of 2020.
Challenging myself to try new mediums and subject matter, I drew everything from my hands and face, my houseplants, poems, comics, imaginary animals and, once we were allowed back outside, scenes of my favourite city: Cape Town.
