#fun-a-day
Hi, this is Morgan Sea. I’m a trans lady, an artist, an anglophone, a white person, and a bunch of other things too. I have been on tumblr for a year and a half, mostly using my MorganSea.Tumblr, where I post alot of my art, queer art, comics, cats, mermaids and other stuff i find re-blog-able and it’s been nice. I thought I should maybe make a space dedicated to my drawings and maybe other art.
When I was younger I really wanted to draw comics for a living…. and then i went to art school and quit drawing for like… 5 years. Since graduating, I’ve been drawing a bit, but I’m not really impressed by my skills. It’s sort of aggravating, cause i know the only way to get better is to practice but early results can be discouraging.
So enter Fun-A-Day, an annual event created by the Art Clash collective in Philly. Basically you chose a project and then do it every day of january, and in february, display your work or documents or whatever in a local fun-a-day show.
Last year I did a project where everyday I would document myself hugging a friend, family member, and a couple consenting strangers. You can see it here at Amazon Seeks Affection. But this year, in an effort to both socialize and make myself practice drawing, I’m gonna be drawing people I like, hopefully live in person, maybe over skype, maybe with photographs. I’m keeping it real loose.
I’ll be posting some of the results here, under the tag Fun-a-Day.
