“I’ll be doing one portrait a day until I can’t do one portrait a day anymore. Not allowed to spend more than an hour on each one.” Ugh. When will these picture a day projects end? SarahL meet Jason Polan and Noah Kalina. Via: Boing Boing

I think its kind of amazing to produce one work of art a day. I can understand being irritated over the sudden emergence of these projects, but just out of curiosity, what irks you, exactly?
I don’t see any one of these artists claiming to have begun the trend (at least not out loud) there is just a kind of synchronicity that happens in the art world.
What will measure the success of these projects is how long they actually can continue gaining the interest of others, and keeping themselves motivated to follow thorough every single day.

Producing one work of art a day isn’t meaningful in and of itself. I doubt any of the artists mentioned would argue that point, but I bet they believe something meaningful occurs in the process. But nobody ever articulates what that might be and how it’s significant. Jason Corace wrote a song a day for his blog a few years ago — again the concept in and of itself has limits — but he wrote a few really good songs during that time. Nobody mentioned is even making skillfully executed art.
