100 Reasons I Love Asheville, is a self-initiated illustration project, but created in tandem with a global creative movement called The 100 Day Project. For 100 days, I illustrated things that I loved about where I live: Asheville, North Carolina.

I loved creating daily, and posting my art as soon as I did it—it took the pressure off to make something perfect! Now that I've completed the 100 day project, I plan to go back through my work and make edits and color adjustments, and then create a book. Below, you'll find are most of the images—you can see the whole set (and follow along with my edits and book process) by following #100ReasonsILoveAsheville and @annieriker on Instagram.
