50 good days is a publication of 50 postcards made from a selection of drawings representative of the first year of work on the A drawing a day project.
My intention with this publication is to show a collection that accounts for the evolution of each of the steps and stages that the drawings went through since the beginning of the project; from the first drawing and the almost exclusive use of the bic pencil in the first pieces, to the incorporation of markers and watercolors in the different changes of materials that occurred, through the incorporation of color and the changes of palettes, sets of motifs, etc. …somehow trying to condense a complex range of attempts and successes from the first 365 drawings.
50 good days is also a way for me to approach my own process, and value it as such.
Many of the drawings that are gathered there were great goals and achievements, which quickly became new challenges to overcome. Just as an athlete battles with his own marks, I have tried to relate in the same way to my work, I have always wanted to make the best possible effort in each drawing, and above all, every day make the best drawing I have done so far. , and I think these postcards represent 50 days in which I felt that I had achieved something, they were 50 good days for me, and having turned them into postcards – as it says on the box – also makes them a “tool so that you can use them and tell to someone ‘good morning’.”
