AQUA JANUARY AT THE ARTISTIC SHEPHERD

Dog-inspired, faith-rooted, water-themed artwork to begin the year. Welcome to Aqua January, an annual art challenge created by Kick in the Creatives, centered on movement, reflection, and aquatic inspiration. Throughout the month, new artwork explores water-themed scenes through expressive color, flowing forms, and thoughtful storytelling across both traditional and digital mediums. Whether you’re here to browse artwork, follow along with the creative process, or simply enjoy a moment of quiet inspiration, I’m glad you’re here.

*Aqua January is an art challenge created by Kick in the Creatives.*

An Aqua January Message from Justyn

Hi, I’m Justyn—the artist behind The Artistic Shepherd. January is a quieter, more focused creative season for me, and Aqua January is how I begin the year with intention. During this time, much of my artwork is centered around visual development and atmosphere-building for Barker’s of Ruin, exploring water-themed environments, mood, and visual storytelling within that world. This process is about experimentation and reveals—testing color, motion, and tone while letting ideas take shape naturally. Art has a way of creating space to slow down and reflect, and Aqua January is meant to capture that feeling. Thank you for supporting my work and being part of this creative journey.
