Throughout the month of January, artists posted over 1,270 daily artworks with #30sal on Instagram. That was an astonishing response of enthusiastic arting! We’ll do it again.

“Winter solitude- in a world of one color the sound of the wind.” ― Bashō Matsuo From yesterday’s post: As a child, I collected the little cards with Japanese prints that came in ochazuke (breakfast rice soup sprinkles).

I’ve been asked to participate in CoCA’s 24 hour marathon. I laugh at this a little, because the premise of the marathon is to put art-making into an unusual and exciting time constriction, but given my method of working, 24 hour marathons have been the only way I make any art at all. I used …
