Robin Selby in Richmond, Virginia is making A Face a Day...
Why did you decide to do this project? I decided to do the project because I have been feeling blocked creatively and couldn't force myself to go to my studio. So, I felt that a commitment was exactly what I needed. I ordered the book months ago and bought a groupon coupon for our local Visual Arts Center.
The book arrived and the expiration date for the class coupon was upon me, so I enrolled in a class and began my year long journey.
As a psychotherapist I see lots of faces each day. An endless source of inspiration. I have been drawing faces since I was a child, so it seemed a natural choice.
How has doing a yearlong/daily project affected your life? I am on day four and already I find myself more alive, excited and scared! I am carving out hours of my day in either the process of creating, or dreaming and scheming what face is next. I have been posting my creations on my Facebook page and am getting lots of encouragement. I am trying to get together others to share this journey with me. I feel a little lonely in this but hope that over the next 361 days a community will grow. If not I love feeling this alive!!

I know what you mean Robin. I stated a page on Facebook to try to get myself motivated to create everyday, and hopefully to encourage others to join me. So far, nothing. Good luck on your awesome quest!!
