2011 summary of art

Art-wise, 2011 has had a lot of ups and downs. Mostly downs. I don't know if that's very different from any other year, but overall, 2011 has been one long suck-fest, which has doubtless affected my artistic output. I've had a couple creative bursts followed by some major dry spells. Looking for pics to fill out this meme template, there were a few months where I had barely any art to choose from at all; I almost had to leave a couple spots blank. Since the latter half of November, I've been having more fun with my art again, so hopefully that might continue despite my pattern up to this point indicating that it's only matter of time before I lapse into another slump.
