Michael is working on something he calls Project 365.
On his flickr photo set, he eloquently sums up the plan, "I'm going to take a picture of myself every day, or at least that's the idea. "
I found that people have been participating in this mostly photographic aim for quite a while (the details are unclear because I don't care enough to research it), and undertakings like it have become a trend amongst those damn hippie trendsters.
Well, I've never really been trendy myself, which totally isn't fair. I don't even own a beret.
So, at the cost of being another bandwagon-jumper, I've decided I too will do something to the effect of "365" (without all that pot-smoking): as drawr-ings. I have just made so little "art" since I was 12 (you should have seen my Powdered Toast Man; and damn could I draw lobsters!); It's something I love yet neglect. I haven't decided if they'll all be self-portraits [note artist's rendering], but it is my new year-long resolution to draw at least one sketch (or related) daily.
I may even use hemp paper.

I'm like three days behind on my 365ing, and honestly I think I'd benefit more from drawings anyway.
See I should have done that instead.
Or additionally.
Aww it'd be awesome to see your drawings everyday. (Hopefully you'll find the time without being sleep-deprived.)
And you could always come to me for the hefty supply of hemp paper.... I wish I had a lot of self-initiated projects, but i guess i'm really not that creative.
I don't think i could draw myself everyday either. I would just end up committing suicide.
:D
I'm funny.
I may be the only one who understands that your Powdered Toast Man was truly an epic sight to behold. Sad to hear you let your talents bubble on the back-burner for so long, yet good to hear you picking up the pencil again.
How are things? :)
