1000 Free Pieces of Art

Noah Zark in Israel is making 1000 Free Pieces of Art in 2013!...


Why did you decide to do this project? I had been doing free art for many years now but never really thought much of it... I never even signed my name. I had recently started selling artwork online with the idea of selling original artwork (not prints) at an affordable price. I went to an event at a gallery for the artist "My Dog Sighs" who inspired me to take this concept of free art a bit more seriously. On the way out of the show I happened upon 2 pieces of free art by "My Dog Sighs" and the feeling that it gave me to find it was awesome. I knew I wanted to be a part of making people feel that as well.

Over the next few weeks I dropped a few pieces here and there. On New Year's Eve I had an idea of challenging myself to do an entire year of spreading free art. I settled on a nice round number of 1000 pieces figuring that it would round off to about 20 pieces a week. It is a huge undertaking but I must say that I am very excited and cannot wait to see what 2013 brings us all. :)



How has doing a yearlong/daily project affected your life? Well so far I have only been doing this for 2 days but I must say that the response has been uncanny. I have met people in town and online that are very happy with the concept and I am just happy to be spreading art and hopefully a bit of joy :)

Poster Every Day

Shiri Levy in Israel is making a Poster Every Day...



Why did you decide to do this project? When being "in between jobs" as they call it and trying to figure out what I want to do next, I decided I want to make sure I spend some of my free time on doing something creative. As a design school graduate and big poster fan, I decided the most fun thing to do would be to design a poster every day. It allows me to incorporate a lot of different things I like such as quotes, people, lyrics and design elements.



How has doing a yearlong/daily project affected your life? I'm only at the beginning of the project but I'm already having a lot of fun exploring different skills such as illustration or typography. I also love the fact that inspiration can really come for anywhere and I find myself writing notes to myself at odd hours with ideas for a poster future posters.
