Starting 2020 off right as a DayKnight

I'm debuting as a DayKnight and I'm PROUD of it!

What is a DayKnight? Individuals who are part of the Day[9] community are called DayKnights.

Who is Day[9]? I can pull up a quick blurb from Wikipedia: "["Day[9]" or Sean Plott] is an American esports commentator, player, event host, and game designer. Plott is best known for his contributions in the professional StarCraft scene, where he regularly appeared first as a player and later as a commentator and host at various tournaments for the game for many years." ...but for me, nothing can explain who Day[9] is better than  himself. Several years ago a good friend of mine showed me this video of Day[9] sharing his experiences growing up with StarCraft and to me this captures his identity. Also I will mention that the video is 2 hours long but it was one of the best 2 hours I've spent in my life. This man is a master of storytelling so you get to live his life vicariously - it's incredible how much I laughed, teared up, and learned how to be a better person in ONLY 2 hours.

Part of what inspired me to start following my passion for art again was Day[9], so as a tribute... between mid-January and mid-February, I will draw a series of cartoon-y illustrations/diagrams that show some lessons I learned from Day[9] over the years. This is my DayKnight 30-day Project Challenge starting January 24, 2020. (There, I said it! I need to commit now... XD) Here is the link to my project page.

In the 30 days (roughly 4 weeks), my minimum goal is to produce 4 diagrams (averages out to be 1 per week - although most of the production will likely happen in week 3). My maximum goal is to produce 6... or maybe 8 diagrams if I happen to be on a roll.

BTW: the 30-day project is a really good platform to practice project management and to build habits. (My 34 CliftonStrengths Themes project is loosely based on this framework as well, and I'm not too far from completion!)
