I will be making combined post for 2018 in november and for 2019 at the beginning of december. Just as a teaser to get you in the mood of this fun party.

Since I first joined in 2012, I now have a big stack of pages with creations inspired by this Top2000.

Because of the limited time in 2017 I decided to make small pages in a little art journal.

My entries for 2017:
