THERE ARE THREE MAIN COMPONENTS TO THIS IDEA:

Now obviously art is that already in many ways, but not always solely and specifically. I want to see what would happen, what kind of art I’d create, if I sat down every day for a month and sent my feelings in that moment or that day from my heart down through my hands and out onto the page.

I wanted to fill a sketchbook with feelings, kind of like a wordless visual diary. Without planning or ‘trying to make good art’. Just spontaneous, ‘this is how I feel and this is what it looks/feels like to me in this moment’.

This is an invitation to try this experiment for yourself. I ran it ‘live’ in March 2016 and it was unexpectedly popular. Over 500 photos were shared on Instagram and elsewhere.

Use it to explore how you really feel. Use it to release pent up emotions consciously. Use it as a fun experiment. Use it in whatever way will best support you. Interpret it all however feels best to you.

  • Book and movie recommendations, quotes, stories, poems, and things to try for yourself
  • No rules or requirements to read every message or make something every day; follow your own feelings
  • Each day you are invited to create something that directly expresses your feelings that day or in that moment. Any medium, any format. Art, writing, music, dance, photography….whatever sings to you is best.
