MAKE SOMETHING 365

Peach jam and plum puree // This is my final drawing for the group exhibition which started last Saturday. The idea for the exhibition was, to interpret a given painting in our own style. The original painting was by Joseph Peter Wilms, a 19th century German painter

During this period of lockdown because of COVID-19, I’ve been pretty un-creative It has been months since I blogged, used my DSLR camera or made something other than a yarn crafts. So I brought 365 MAKE SOMETHING to try and jump start my creativity, with the aim to write or make something everyday and document it. Starting on the 1st July.

Today’s prompt involved venturing out and using found objects, as I mentioned it is during the COVID-19 pandemic, this didn’t seem like the greatest idea. So I decided it was a great time to return to Tumblr and start a proper online account of my creative journey.

AND hopefully someone will discover my journal and be inspired.

[skull-a-day]

10 years ago today, I made a tiny orange paper skull that started a chain reaction that completely transformed my life!

The Skull-A-Day project was a simple idea, meant to boost me out of a creative rut that I'd fallen into. I never expected it would lead me to a new career, opportunities to travel the world, multiple book deals, opportunities to show my art in museums and galleries internationally, and even a visit to The Martha Stewart show. I still get opportunities almost daily related to the project. 10 years of dividends on a 1 year investment is pretty amazing. All of this is the reason I consistently encourage others to take on the daily creative challenge. Even as small a commitment as 30-days is enough to create major changes in people's lives.

Please join me in celebrating our craniums today by taking a moment to do one little creative act and sharing it with the world, you never know where it will lead!

If you're a longtime fan of the project I'd love to hear from you (when did you find it? how did it inspire you?).

If you're up for a bigger challenge why not make your own 30-days of skulls starting today. If you share it with the #CreativeSprint & #SkullADay hashtags I'll track you down and give you a prize!

Also if you haven't picked up a copy of the Skull-A-Day book, featuring all 365 of the original skulls, plus a great essay from the Mütter Museum's curator Anna Dhody, now would be a good time, as the publisher Chop Suey Books is offering it in combination with the new book I wrote with my sister, Creative Sprint, for a massive discount! Get it HERE.

p.s. I'll be re-sharing the first 30 days of the project, starting today here on Tumblr and also Instagram, Facebook & Twitter.

Sketch Kai!

Inspired by the birth of my son, Kai, and spurred on by Noah Scalin’s ‘365 A Daily Creative Journal’, I’m embarking on a sketch challenge to draw Kai every day for one year. Kai was born in May 2017 and has quickly become the center of my wife, Maya, and my worlds. He’s changing so fast and this project is a creative way to capture the change while growing my creative and art skills in the process.

There are no strict rules on format or medium, only that I stay open to exploration, play, encouragement and feedback.

Thank you for taking a look!

Today’s practice - precision, patience and meditative repetition resulting in a pile of paper stars. The design comes from a mobile I saw in Denmark last year. These are vellum and will soon be added to lights. #practice #practicedaily #makesomethingeveryday2018 #paperart #paperstars #makesomething365

"Hamlet except it's a fœtus. Also, possibly murderous ghost. Oops!" #196 of the #shakespeare quote #makesomething365 #creativesprint challenge! Today "write a 10 word fantasy story. Bonus : ilustrate it!" I read straight through that Book for my PhD research and figured it was fantasy enough...

Pencil studies of black bears - I’ve read that they’re also called „Baribal“ in other languages, which sounds like a character in a fairy tale to me 😊

Make Something 365 Days 1-3

Day 1

My plan was to begin this project on the 1st July. I ordered the book and it arrived late on the 30th June, so I left it next to my bed to dive in early in the morning. As I result, I didn’t have a great start, the first prompt was to find something in your immediate environment, and I had nothing around me. I did manage to find a lipstick tucked away in the drawer (un-used in months as I haven’t worn make-up in lockdown).

Day 2

This prompt was easier, to make something based on your favourite animal, I had recently knitted a little duck (yet another lockdown project), so for this prompt I decided to draw the knitted duck!

Day 3

Make something out of paper! I had previously tried my hand at origami, attempting to make a few Star Wars figures, so I had some origami paper at hand. It seemed the easiest thing to make would me a classic paper crane.

I love the ideology and history of paper cranes, and yet I had never made one myself.

Skipping Day 8 because it asked to mutilate a book and I'm not about that life, soooo Day 9: Play with your breakfast before you eat it! This is how you gain Spidey powers, right? #makesomething365 #TheNewHarryOsborne

ON JUNE 4TH, 2017 SKULL-A-DAY TURNS 10!

In 2007 Noah Scalin had an idea. He would make a different skull a day for a year on his blog, the idea was simple, but crazy enough to go viral within weeks. It landed him book deals and an appearance on the Martha Stewart Show, all the while completely transforming his art and life in the process. Because of its rabid following the Skull-A-Day project continued long after its first year and grew from a fanbase to an international community of skull art creators!

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of his seminal Skull-A-Day project we're kicking off a 30-day “skull-a-bration” and everyone is invited!

Starting on June 4th – the date Skull-A-Day project launched 10 years previously (now known as Skull Appreciation Day) – Noah will be re-sharing the first 30 skulls daily on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and of course here on Tumblr.

In addition skull lovers everywhere are invited to celebrate Skull Appreciation Day on June 4th, by sharing their own original skull themed artworks on a variety of platforms.

Prizes will be given to anyone who completes their own 30-day skull art challenge between June 4 and July 3 using the #SkullADay & #CreativeSprint hashtags.

Sign up for the Creative Sprint mailing list today to get a special weekly inspiration email during the Skull-A-Day celebration, featuring creativity boosting prompts, Noah’s lessons from the project, and free downloads.
