Drawing of the Day 111


working primarily as a digital artist over the last decade, I considered what might happen if I were to pull out a blank page and begin to draw.
not on commission and with no particular purpose in mind. The self-imposed minimum, one drawing a day, was to serve as an
exercise to pull myself away from the computer and to begin to explore analog creativity. at first I was concerned that the quality
of these artworks would be too different from, or inferior to, my better-known commercial illustrations, so I had little intention
of sharing this experiment. however, as days turned into weeks I began to realize that within the spontaneity of this process,
something curious and new began to emerge. I formed a blog and began to post my daily explorations. the overwhelming response
helped to see the project through to its end at 365 drawings. although the requirement was to post a sketch or line drawing and
nothing more, I began to create more elaborate collages and paintings as the rhythm took hold of my imagination. the final
vocabulary of this long-term project has resulted in a curious bestiary cut from old accounting books and ephemera,
brought to life with ink and paint, scissors and collage, resulting in an original and thoroughly whimsical world.

I am pleased to announce that the project will be on exhibit in its entirety at the invisible dog art center as of march 10, 2012.
