In November 2018, I set myself the challenge of completing an additional physical artwork every day for a whole year, alongside my normal work on larger studio paintings. Over the year of my '365 Project', I painted on my travels to various cities, landscapes and coastlines across the globe, as well as my everyday observations and favourite surf spots. "365", the NFT, brings together all 365 artworks to form one unique digital collage. Organised by colour, the finished artwork allows the viewer to appreciate the varied mix of works created, at a glance. The final placement of the pieces forms an abstract scene, reminiscent of a sunset surrounded by green rolling hills, setting over one of the beaches from my home in Devon, England.
