#OadlProject365 - Day 146 - Q3 2023 Recap (Trick or Treat)
31st Oct 2023
Time for some math and reality check first!
Day 146/365 successfully completed and logged = 40%
Where I grew up 40% used to be the passing percentage :) So I think we can safely say that I have passed the #OadlProject365 challenge as of today! Only time will tell if I ace this project or not and if there’ll be any potential ROI for this labor of love ;)
Here’s some of my pieces from the past 4 months:
Btw If you’ve missed the previous editions here’s a high level recap from Jan 2023 and here’s the recap from Feb 2023 and here’s a recap from March 2023 and here’s a recap from April 2023 and here’s the mid year summary from June 2023.
For all those who are new here #OadlProject365 was my attempt to draw/sketch/paint/do art for at least 5 minutes everyday for 365 days. I posted about it on day 1.
(Oadl is an acronym for ‘Only A Decade Late’ which is my pseudonym in the www and the general story of my life - Ha!) - And yes, I do realize I am 30 days late for my Q3 updates, but hashtag life.
On paying close attention, you’ll see that my original #OadlProject365 goal has evolved over time as I learned to draw digitally and also morphed to fit my life better.
IMO it’s better to aim for the stars and fall short, rather than having a smaller goal and accomplishing an even smaller portion of it - hence #OadlProject365.
Q3 2023 Updates and Accomplishments:
I did my debut theatre production and am on my way to Hollay-wood ;)
We are at day 146 out of 365 which is 40%, not that great - but I was reviewing my work since the beginning and I feel I’ve seen a growth in the quality of my art work which makes me happy
Although I lost 26.5% of my audience since I started, I also gained some of it back :) - So that’s a win
Read these 2 amazing books; The Surrender Experiment and Living with a Seal! (Ping me if you want to discuss them)
Tentative Gameplan for rest of the year:
Christmas card (before Christmas deadline :))
2024 calendar (hope you buy one! :))
Children’s book illustration - although tbh, I am not very confident on this. If I pull it off it will be a HUGE win
A mirror work art experiment
End of year updates
I hope you follow along with me for the rest of the year! This year flew by!
Happy Halloween! Thank you for reading. Please share with your friends, neighbors, dogs, cats, AIs, other creative beings. Every bit counts! :) .
And keep all the negative nicks and nancies out of your life!
