The Monthly Daily, is my New Year’s resolution and a project that I’m sure I will soon regret immensely. My name’s Kim Sokol, and I’m an illustrator. I’ve discovered since leaving school that, getting caught up in self promotion, endless website tweaking, not to mention basic listless drifting, I’m not drawing nearly enough.
So here’s the plan. Every day, throughout the year of 2010, I shall post a drawing here. To keep it from being too aimless, each month will have a theme. (Monthly theme. Daily drawing. Monthly Daily.) To see other people who have done similar things, check out this great post on Smashing Magazine, which was partially the inspiration for this endeavor.
The rules of the game, as near as I’ve considered them, are simple: picture every day. If I absolutely have no way of getting it online, then I’ll still draw it and post it as soon as I have access; otherwise, it needs to be posted on the day. If things go horribly wrong and this goes off the rails, I’ll try to pick it up again at the beginning of the next month instead of letting it fall apart.
So here’s to an awesome year, everybody, and here’s to art. Wish me luck!
