Alphabet Art -26/26/26 project

Hey guys, been away from threadless for a while, but I thought I'd share a project I was working on to keep my creative juices a-flowing.

I was doodling one day and came up with something that looked like the letter A. I decided, somewhat randomly, to do 26 letters in 26 days and give my self 26 minutes to do each letter. I find that limiting the time and giving myself a deadline has really helped me get out my creative funk.

Anyway, thought I'd share. Click here for the flick set.

Day 1:

A is for Amendment, specifically the first amendment, since A is the first letter!

Day 2:

B is for Beastie Boys, in honor the Beastie Boy's induction into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. Kick it!

Day 3:

C was made as a request for my friend Chris, who is a Cop.

Day 4:

D is for the Dark Knight. What is a superhero without his super villain. RIP Jerry Robinson.

Day 5:

E is for Ewoks. Who doesn't love Ewoks?

Day 6:

F is for Fraggles! Dance your cares away, Worry's for another day. Let the music play, Down at Fraggle Rock!

Day 7:

G is for the Grinch. The GingGrinch.

Day 8:

H is for Heathcliff. Terrifying neighborhoods and playing pranks on everyone.

Day 9:

I is for Inspector Gadget. I'll get you next time Gadget! NEEEXT TIIIIIIIME!

Day 10:

J is for the Jetsons. RYE RORGE!

Day 11:

K is for Kermit! It isn't easy being green!

Day 12:

L is for Linus and his blue blankey.

Day 13:

M is for Megatron. The old school one, not the Michael Bay one.

Cool idea. I thought maybe 26 meant every two weeks in a year long project, which couls be cool for somethign too.

Yeah, that would be neat, though for this project I wanted something I could do everyday to pull me out of this slump I've been in. I'm already feeling more creative and it's only day 6!

Speaking of, Day 6 is F, for Fraggles!

Yipes. Tripple post fail.

Cool concept to take on. Like what you've got so far. I'd totally blow that 26 min deadline. I could definitely use to come up with something like this in order to push me to do something.

yeah, the 26 minutes is tough, but I hold myself to it. It helps having an Intuos 4 and a fast computer. Also, knowing photoshop keyboard commands is a must.

Finished day 7!

toopersent on Dec 13 '11 at 10:23pm

Day 8 is up!

I'm liking the Grinch's face

Nice stuff

2 days later

toopersent on Dec 15 '11 at 10:57pm

Thanks Ross. Day 9 and 10 are up!

toopersent on Dec 15 '11 at 10:58pm

I've clearly taken this this a "cartoons I used to watch growing up" theme. I'm contemplating making a book of some sorts, kind of like a kids book for adults who grew up in the late 70's to mid 80's.

toopersent on Dec 16 '11 at 11:16pm

Day 11 is up. K is for Kermit!

NCowick on Dec 16 '11 at 11:22pm

This is continuing to shape up nicely. Coming up with some great characters for each letter.

toopersent on Dec 17 '11 at 2:42pm

Thanks dude! Day 12 is up. L is for Linus.

toopersent on Dec 18 '11 at 6:26pm

Day 13 is done. M is for Megatron.

aNonnymouse on Dec 18 '11 at 6:32pm

For a second I thought that arm cannon was an enormous cod-piece and I was like oh snap, Megatron.

This is such a neat warm-up project! I started on something similar with animals doing things; argyle aardvarks attempting arson, blue beavers breaking bones, fushia ferrets "fixing" felons... but then I lost interest. I wonder if a time related goal would help. Neato stuff, yo.

toopersent on Dec 18 '11 at 6:46pm

Thanks. Yeah, I wish I hadn't of run out of time on Megaton. He's definitely packing.
