ART: BROCK DAVIS

I Stumbled upon this art project by designer Brock Davis, who works out of Minneapolis. It's called Make Something Cool Every Day, and essentially involved Davis making something... What's the word? Cool? Pretty frequently, actually. In fact, every day of 2009. The works are consistently interesting and sometimes even brilliant. (There are very few duds.) But it's not just the quality of the execution that's fascinating; the sheer breadth of styles is mind-blowing. There are pencil sketches, conceptual pieces, photography, and even videos. There are drawings in human hair and expressionistic paintings. Here are a few of my favorites, but it would be worth your while to check out the remainder of the project, which can be found HERE.

Day One... January 1st. "Build."

January 3rd: "Rules-blank paper+thread+tape+exacto."

January 24th: "Shattered Coffee Cup."

February 20th: "Decowpitation."

March 13th: "That Was True."

June 5th: "Change of Heart."

June 25th: "56 Likes."

July 15th: "Elephat."

August 21st: "Foot."

September 21st: "Stairwell."

October 18th: "Nice Day."

October 21st: "I Only Play Sad Songs."

That's twelve of them there... Three hundred, and fifty... Some odd works left to see. So go see them.
