Drawing A Day 2011 Project

This project began out of frustration with myself. I was stuck. So on a whim on January 1, 2011 I made a resolution (which I never make): I'd do at least one drawing per day. I gave myself rules: I had 30 minutes or less to complete the drawing. Once that 30 minute mark was hit the drawing was done. In addition, to keep myself honest, I would post the drawings on my Facebook page, Inventing Trees within a couple of days of creation (if not that day). The drawing did not have to be good...I just had to do it. I did not create perimeters around media.


The result is that I have created a daily habit. I feel weird now if I haven't done a drawing. My family also has accepted that this is part of my routine. I have done the drawings while travelling, regardless of sickness and despite overwhelming other demands on my time. I have created at least one drawing everyday over the course of the year.


Now, some of the drawings suck. Drawings that I enjoyed, others seemed to dislike. And thing that I thought were worthless, others loved. I believe my voice has shone throughout the year and that my line has gotten stronger. I have gotten some excellent ideas for larger paintings and prints and indeed, dolls.


Most importantly, I feel good about this project. I would love to share this experience with you all and I hope you make it to Sylvia Kania Gallery during January 2012. However, if you can't or don't, I will have all the drawings up in a stand alone virtual gallery soon.


Until then, do something that you love.
