This is a video of my introduction to the 365 Sketches project that I gave at the opening to the show at Princeton Public Library in June of 2010. In a nutshell, this project is one on which I do one daily digital drawing using free software called Inkscape. I believe the video works to explain the processes, people, and issues that were encountered, and I highly recommend giving it a watch. Thanks!

Hi John,
I just saw the video about the 365 sketches project and I really enjoyed it. I am following your developments for quite a while now, and always enjoyed the brief explanations that accompanied the sketches. But it is quite something different to see what images lead to a certain sketch. Looking forward to more inspirations.
Cheers,
Syllie
Thanks, Syllie! I’ve heard this idea from many of the people who attended the talk, and have loved how the presentation changed the way they saw the project. I really want to spend more time doing exposition in each sketch, but more often than not I’m running to get it done before the day is out.
It was great to hear from you, and I’m looking forward to the next time.
just discovered your site and finding it really inspiring. I usually do music, but since having a second kid it’s been really hard to find the time. experimenting with inkscape has been a great source of pleasure, and while my stuff is still in the “terrible” stage, I’m loving it. thanks.
Thanks for the kind words, rabbitearsmotel! I have 2 kids myself, I know what you mean. I’m sure your work’s not terrible, but I’m glad to hear you’re loving it. I only have a few apps I truly love, and Inkscape’s one of them for sure.
