Starting June 1st 2022 (Running Now)
Give others a chance:
If you have already purchased a 2022 Daily, please give others a chance of at least 5 minutes before ordering.
Daily Project Summary:
Each day I will be listing an additional mini-art piece here and selling exactly 1 at a ridiculously low price. Thanks guys! Hopefully we come out stronger on the other side. To get a jump on when they are listed, see my instagram stories (@fil_roberts).
Objective
The objective is to practice designing faster, improve my designs, and overcome my inability to actually FINISH designs. I am super great at starting but the final 10% of a design kills me. By having to create a new one EVERY day, I have to be able to edit my work much faster and be more confident in my decisions. This will also push me to experiment on a bunch of elements that I wouldn't have otherwise.
Why everyday?
“
There's nothing an
artist needs
more - even
more than excellent tools and stamina -
than a
deadline.” ― Adriana Trigiani, Viola in Reel Life.
How long will this last?
They say it takes 21 to 30 days to create a habit but I'd like to go much longer. I'll continue this until it becomes too much or life gets in the way.
Why are they also listed at over $100?
Short Answer: Patronage.
Only 1 of each design is sold at the extremely low "daily price" and is done so at my financial loss. If someone connects to a piece and feels they want to support the challenge (while also receiving a piece of artwork) I thought this a great way to do so. I don't foresee this being a heavily traveled path but there are those special folks out there that connect to an idea or design.
What is going on with the vectors?
Short Answer: Patronage + Maker Communities
Vectors are the digital version of the design that machines use to create the cuts. I'm asked about providing vectors around 3 times per week and before June 1st 2022, I had never sold a single one. I thought this might be a great way to provide files to those who have the aptitude to create pre-designed projects. Some folks are not designers and that is ok. Will I sell vectors to my other, "normal" pieces of artwork? No.
Thanks
I appreciate those who get into this stuff and hold me accountable. Any suggestions are welcome.
