About Thing-a-Day

Overcome the February blues! Join artists and creators of all types and backgrounds in a collective creative sprint. Thing-a-day invites you to join in a daily creative endeavor where everyone who signs up commits to making one thing (project, sketch, exercise) per day and shares it online on this collective blog. Take advantage of the opportunity to share ideas and receive constructive advice while developing new work.

How to participate:

It's simple. Starting on February 1st, spend about 30 minutes making one thing a day. Knit, sew, cook, draw, paint, tape, solder, write, destroy, invent, document—you decide!

* Document this work in anyway necessary to prove to the world that you’ve made something new: write, take pictures, videos, post things online.

* Do this everyday and post to the Thing-a-day blog before midnight, 7 days a week.

* You can upload pictures straight to the blog (limit to 200K per post) but you can also host your work anywhere online and post a link to it on the blog. If you have a Flickr account, include your photos in this group as well!

* Introduce your daily accomplishments: give them a name, a title, a punch line, a description, anything that will encourage others to check out your work.

* See what everyone else has been up to, and steal ideas, comment on other people’s work or reinvent something they did.

* No recycled old work, no posting someone else’s stuff pretending its yours. We’ll welcome anyone who wants to join, and we trust you to follow basic internet ethics.

To officially register, go here. Registration closes on January 31 at midnight.
