The Sketch-A-Day project is one I decided to undertake after feeling that my skills were slipping a little here and there. While it started as a personal project for self improvement, I’m hoping to inspire the drive to sketch in budding artists, new designers, and even seasoned designers and illustrators alike.
Let me be clear – this is by no means a perfect collection or a collection of perfect sketches by some master designer. This is the raw, daily output of someone trying to inspire the drive to sketch. Sure, I know it’s not all perfect, but there’s passion in these sketches.
My hope is that in some way I can inspire anyone interested in drawing to do what I did – to sketch, draw, scribble, or doodle whatever it is you feel like. In the long run, you’ll be better off for it, and in no time, you’ll see marked improvement in your skills.
That’s what this sketch-a-day project is about – Inspiring others to sketch. If you feel inspired, spread the word, share this on facebook or twitter, or simply tell a colleague or classmate. Spread the spark of passion for the sketch!

PechaKucha for Haiti
20 seconds, 20 images, 200 cities, 2000 presentations, 200,000 people - with the aim to raise $1,000,000 for rebuilding Haiti.
February 20th, location and presenters TBA, free / all donations go to Architecture for Humanity
On Saturday 20 February PechaKucha events will be held all around the world. All the PechaKucha Night cities will be connected by a 24-hour PechaKucha presentation WAVE that will gradually move westward city by city, circumnavigating the globe. The wave will be dropping in on each city for around 10 minutes for a video link up and a live presentation. This presentation wave will be streamed over the internet on a 24-hour WAVEcast, which we think will be a world first.
The PechaKucha Presentation WAVE will start simultaneously in SuperDeluxe in Tokyo where PechaKucha Night was first conceived, and in our most easterly city in New Zealand. It will then move west crossing all times zones and cultures. The PechaKucha WAVE will finally come ashore in San Francisco, where Architecture for Humanity (AFH) is headquartered. AFH's founder, Cameron Sinclair, will be there with the rest of San Francisco to give presentations and celebrate the successful circumnavigation of the world. That will be about 1pm Sunday Japan time. We plan to a have a big event in Tokyo, linking to San Francisco by video so we can all focus our thoughts on Haiti.
