Thing-a-day is a yearly creative sprint where, every year in February, participants commit to creating one new thing a day and post it on a collective blog. 2010 is thing-a-day's fourth edition and the first to run on Posterous. Get all the info here.

Yay - finished - all done! I've learned lots:
Not to be so hard on myself
To stop being such a perfectionist - there's no point
That sometimes doing things fast yields the best work
That other people are much more forgiving than myself
That to do something (anything) is more gratifying than just thinking about it
I'm going to keep my Posterous site going. It's handy and easy, once I got the hang of posting. I had a plan for the alphabet which involved putting it into Flash and animating bits of it (minimally), so that's going to be my next project. There's no way I was going to get that finished by today, though for a while it seemed like a marvellous idea! I'm going to keep drawing, so many thanks to the people who left comments, which helped keep me on the straight and narrow. My only regret is that I didn't get to look at more work on Thing-a-day - it just became too time-consuming.
But wait - that's not the end! One more thing to do, and that's to put them all together...see you tomorrow.
Did you know:
'Xenial' is an adjective which means giving gifts to strangers. Xenial people are usually very helpful, i.e: I was walking down the street and saw a young man helping an old lady across the street and thought, 'My, he is a xenial young man.' (From http://www.urbandictionary.com)I didn't, either...
S'Urtzu is a traditional creature in a Sardinian carnival. His suit is made out of a goat plus lots of cowbells. It's a once-a-year job.
The actor who played Dr. Frazier (police medical examiner) is 6'6" tall, so this would look really impressive. Also, he's the son of the mayor of Oakland.
