Day 15: What can you do with just a dollar? Use a dollar bill as your medium or inspiration today.
When I read about this challenge last night, I was thinking it sounded pretty cool. Today, however, I spent about a half hour folding a dollar bill different ways and coming up with really uninteresting stuff. I ended up just making a basic accordion fold repeatedly and taping the bottom to make a fan. At least the shadows are interesting, and I forgot how much I liked to think about shadows in my work:

An acquaintance sent me a message recently with a few links I might be interested in, and I wanted to share one that's particularly interesting to me.

Writing this blog is going out on a limb for me, it's putting myself out there for criticism, but most of my feedback has been positive (mind you, I understand that I'm not widely well-known). I just really identified with Austin's reality of being an artist. Furthermore, I totally love his blackout idea! I find this one to be particularly great:
