For the last several years I have watched, in awe, my friends engage in the #100dayproject, an idea that has grown on social media from the original 100 Day Project developed by Michael Blerut. Participating in this was always an aspiration of mine...so this year I finally decided the time was right! Having just concluded some pretty cool experiments for my School for Art Leaders cohort, this is the perfect next step. You know my love of all things mail and mail art...so I am working on 100 days of Priority Mail stickers. The theme came pretty easy too, I was standing in line at the post office looking at the priority mail stickers imagining small artworks on them. It is a manageable/desirable size for endless compositions and eventually I can imagine them randomly finding their way stuck around the city.
Check out some of the artists that have influenced this experience for me on Instagram: @stollen_moment, @obscuragirl,and @kristinanosalstudios to name a few.
I am 19 days in...what I have realized so far is it's not just about the end result of each day's creation but about the cumulative impact of sustained effort and dedication over time and the evolution of the idea. It is now a priority. (see what I did there?)
