in the month of march I’ve been posting a work of art a day to the 30 days 30 pieces site. it was started by my good buddy and ex-coworker dave schell as a way to still produce art in and around his gig as an art director. lucky for us he invited a few friends into the project.
this is the second time we’ve done this site – last time I was backpacking around aus (coincidentally) and making art in cars and hostels. this time I’ve got a studio and loads more time to devote so things are a little more ambitious.
a few days into march, I started series of pieces around the 2 years I spent backpacking. I always said I’d write a book about those years, but as an artist, painting my experiences is probably gonna happen a whole lot sooner. the ultimate plan is to turn this into a zine and/or published book but for now I post a piece a day (‘cept currently I’m hung up on a nasty sinus infection so not much of anything is happening these days…)
related to this illustrated book idea, I just stumbled across an awesome zine collective here in melbs, sticky institute. they run a sweet shop in the subway crammed FULL of mostly black and white zines. with any luck I’ll start volunteering with them, at the very least, can’t wait to get my first zine done to start trading.
until then, check out the digital version on the 30days site. here’s a sneak peek:
