I wanted to do something with a little more color today, so this is what I ended up with. It took me a little while to complete. Maybe a couple hours. Was fun for a little while, but after an hour I just wanted it done. I had to make sure to keep it as consistent as I could throughout as I didn’t want my impatience to show. I’m glad I added the color in the background.

My posts won’t often be detailed pieces that take hours to complete. I just happened to have the the time to do it. The main purpose of this is to get me in front of my computer, or do something with paper and pencils, and drawing something, anything at all. Then post it and discuss why I did what I did. Pretty simple.  Some days (most days?) it could be just some simple sketches or maybe just getting some ideas down.

So, day 2 complete! Hopefully tomorrow I can work on creating a new header image for the website. The one up there, as I’m writing this, is just a stock photo from WordPress. Gotta change that!

And thus begins my year long journey! My goal is to create one piece of art, either digital or otherwise, and post it here once a day, for 365 days in a row. Along with a few paragraphs explaining why I chose to create whatever it is I created. It’s going to be a lot of work, but as long as I get a week under my belt, I know I’ll be able to pull it off. I’ll figure out what I’m going to do after the 365 days when I arrive there.

I definitely need to thank Eric for setting this website up with me (he basically did all the website work!) and providing the most excellent ukulele music to go along with creating the creatures I drew today.  The piece above was pretty much born from some interesting abstract artwork I saw in a coffee shop, some 80’s cartoon themes, and Eric’s ukulele. Often combining the ukulele with the 80’s cartoon themes!
