Mosaic of Life #1 – Doodling & The Analog Stage Of Artsy
I seriously started my Artsy project in mid-2023. For a few months, it was almost exclusively freehand doodling.

Even before I heard this it was in my heart. One of the foundations of RJsCorner is that I try to get people to think outside their boxes to other possibilities.
