In planes, trains, and automobiles, visual artist Michael Markowsky traverses the landscape to find new and interesting locations in which to create. He has painted in the arctic tundra, in the bed of a moving truck, and even in a CF-18 fighter plane! This constant change of scenery is all done in the pursuit of challenging his artistic process to gain new insights and ways of working.
For the year of 2016, Michael has embarked upon a 365 day drawing challenge. Not only is he doing a drawing every day, but he's filming this process and releasing videos of himself drawing on location. He is sharing this year-long challenge on his video blog, as he follows in the footsteps of artists he admires who also have a daily practice.
We documented Michael as he sketched the Trans-Am-Totem, a public art installation created by Vancouver sculptor Marcus Bowcott. Michael discusses his reasoning for taking on this daunting challenge and how this experience has impacted him in only 2 short months.
