iRoBoT365 - a drawing a day...

What a long, strange trip it's been...

On January 1st 2011 I set off to draw a comic strip each day based on an interesting little robot character I created.

Previously in 2010 I had drawn a skull a day for a year but this project was quite different. It was more of a story, a tale of what this poor little lost soul encountered on his abrupt visit to our world.

Some days were exciting with much to say – others were boring and hard to create something new. I found that many times the daily entry was more like a journal of my life than a witty look at the world.

Regardless I was steadfast in my resolve & diligent in my delivery.

My poor creation found love, compassion, ignorance, rejection and many of the emotions we all face on our daily struggles. He tried to understand our life but in honesty, I don’t think we get it half the time!

I am so very happy for developing this project! I had incredible support from my family – stealing time away from them each day to draw and publish each comic strip. I am extremely thankful to them for allowing me that space.

I also had amazing support from online-friends who were always encouraging with their comments. Thanks - [rich], Noah Scalin, fillzees, Zook, ashwinishetty94, farmerkern, BumbleB2na, Albinal, Dr. Strangebot, Talbotics, Tinkerbots, qismet_99, Gusztáv-történetek, litus1980.

So now onto 2012 – I am taking this next year off with regards to a drawing-a-day project. I have many creative ideas in mind and am looking forward to developing as many as I can!

Thanks for your support!

Cheers!
Sean
