A CGI artist Mike Winkelmann, a.k.a., Beeple has been creating new artworks every single day for the last 3,650 days.
Some days, you don’t have that much ambition. It’s like, “I’m fucking tired, I don’t want to keep going.” The momentum really helps you. You think, “Am I really going to ruin my streak for this?”

So, how much time does this hobby take? From five minutes to a couple of hours. The artist mastered Cinema 4D, Illustrator, digital photography and more tools by… just practicing. So when you think it’s difficult to dive into all these complex tools, remember this story.
I think it’s going to run it’s course. I’m surprised I haven’t forgotten a day. I feel like I’m still so far from where I want to be. I look at artists in a variety of mediums and think, “Why would I stop now?” Part of it is not looking at it too far down the line, and focusing on short term goals.
