The project is by Chris Piascik, who has dedicated his time to [drawing a different illustration every day](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cly-pixel) from Monday to Friday for four years. He wants to [publish a book](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4442-book) of his quirky and fun drawings and has gone to [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stl-sculptures) to gain support. The book will feature different sections like Politics, Improvised and Quotes. If you like the sound of a different illustration to start off your day for four years, then head to Kickstarter to support the 1000 Days of Drawing project. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Crowdfunding for Artistic Projects:** The success of the '1000 Days of Drawing' project on Kickstarter highlights the potential for crowdfunding platforms to support artistic endeavors. - **Daily Creative Practices:** The popularity of the '1000 Days of Drawing' project reflects a growing interest in daily artistic practices as a way to foster creativity and discipline. - **Curated Illustration Books:** The concept of compiling years' worth of daily illustrations into a book presents an opportunity for publishers to create curated collections that showcase the evolution of an artist's style. ### Where This Applies - **Publishing:** Publishing houses can take advantage of the demand for curated illustration books by collaborating with artists to create visually engaging and unique collections. - **Crowdfunding:** The success of the '1000 Days of Drawing' project demonstrates the potential of crowdfunding platforms to disrupt traditional methods of funding artistic projects and democratize the support process. - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can explore daily creative practices as a way to enhance their skills, develop their style, and engage with an audience through platforms like social media. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Easy Drawing Inspiration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simple-drawing-ideas.md) - [3D-Printed Flip Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stl-sculptures.md) - [Illustration Asset Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halftone.md) - [Beginner Artistic Inspiration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawing-prompts.md) - [Reverse Coloring Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reverse-coloring-book.md) - [Analog-Style Digital Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klydoclock.md) - [Mindfulness-Encouraging Challenges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/better-than-yesterday.md) - [Playful Doodle-Emblazoned Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-cox.md) - [Cheekily Creative Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks.md)
