Hi Friends. Welcome to 2014...only 7 days late, but who's counting? Right before the new year happened I was thinking about Art Every Day and whether or not to just dump this site and kinda forget about it. Really who would notice...I haven't posted anything since LAST OCTOBER, and postings before that are sparse.
I have myself a new goal. A SMART goal of sorts... Something Simple, Manageable, Attainable, Recordable, and Time-sensitive.
I am challenging myself to do a doodle a day. Sounds silly right? Well, maybe it is actually, but I need to do something outside of my classes that I enjoy & gives me a little down time to unwind and decompress from the day. (Being a master's Level Art Therapy & Counseling student is tough work. Okay, enough pity party crap.)
This kinda began because I want to develop my hand-lettering abilities. I think I have pretty handwriting in general, but hand lettering in a simple and interesting way is a great deal more work than it sounds. many or most of the pieces will include text. Lots of quotes, things I have overheard, words that resonate that day...really anything.
I am taking suggestions! Comment below, and tell me a phrase, quote , or word you would like to see me incorporate into one of my daily doodles.
And with no further ado, here are the pieces I have made thus far to kick off 2014 right!
