Freddie's Daily iPad Paintings

Freddie is making daily paintings on his iPad... 

Why did you decide to do this project? A dear friend of mine told me if I want to get better at something, essentially like what you say with getting unstuck, is just to do it a lot...presumably everyday. That's what I did and when I got to the end of a year of every day, I took a break and looked around to see what's up...then I missed "it", said fuck it...and just kept going. Closing in on 900 days now. Cool stuff. 

How has doing a yearlong/daily project affected your life? Very impactful and powerful. Life is beautiful. I now get to do rad stuff like share my love of creative expression with kids at the hospital here in town, larger community art projects, more commissions for clients aka $$, meet awesome people, travel around the world.

365 Self Portraits on My iPad

Carol Bonomo in Southern California is creating 365 Self Portraits on My iPad...

Why did you decide to do this project? I wanted to see how many ways I could change a photograph using ipad filters and effects.  With the exception of a few somewhere in the middle of the project (where I used software programs on my laptop), I managed to come up with different takes on my same old self.  It was cheaper than buying 365 new outfits.

How has doing a yearlong/daily project affected your life? I am an enthusiast who can tackle new things with ease and excitement.  My "sticking with it" skills, however, are not nearly so good.  It never occurred to me that I would actually stick to something every day for 365 days.  Now that I'm two weeks from completion, I just might do it!  You have to think if you can take 365 self portraits (and not throw up seeing your tired old face and every tick and drool and droopy eyelid every day on your blog) and come up with something/anything "artistic" to do with the shot... well, what else could you do and stick with now?  I recently loaded several painting apps on my ipad.  I just might become a 365 ipad painter next.
