100 WORKS OF ART IN 100 STRAIGHT DAYS

 
Self Portrait 02-01.png
 
 

A challenge to stop waiting for inspiration and seize my artistic voice on my own terms.

The rules were simple:

01.

Begin a work of art...

02.

finish that work of art...

03.

and post it publicly...

04.

all before going to bed...

Every day for 100 straight days.
