Our dreams and ideas are are intangible things. But even so, we often treat them as if they are physical objects, things to hold in our hands and examine from every angle. We circle around them endlessly in ever tightening spirals, drawing closer and closer to some kernel of truth, some wisdom, some spark of creativity and inspiration that we hungrily seek.
Sometimes our circling makes us feel trapped, like fish in a tiny, airless bowl, and we think that if we have to complete just one more circuit, we’ll go mad. That’s when circling becomes unhealthy, a spiraling, obsessive ritual of anxiety and fear.
But often- even when you’re afraid- when we circle a frightening thought and inspect it from every angle, when we swim closer and closer and closer until we can brush it gently with our fins, we draw ever closer to the truth of our own being, the essence of what we hungrily seek.
It happened again. I framed a piece. Do I have a photo of it!? Y E S. I know, I know, who *AM* I?
The size of the original itself is 5″x5″, and the frame is 7″x7″, and betta fish are MUCH braver than birds*, I’m sure she’ll make it through the mail just fine.
* Please don’t tell the birds I said that, especially the owls. They’ll bring me before their Parliment. . .

Raised without faith and long fascinated by why humans need it, Rob Rey found his answer in science. And in painting it. Stardust, cellular biology, electromagnetic energy: the universe as spiritual practice. Carl Sagan would approve.
Scratching beyond the surface, Akada uses a self-made technique to create truly unique images.
EDO opened up the studio for the first time! Artists Mark Sarmel, Dianita, and So MK joined founder Marc Scheff to talk through their process, their decisions, and what it actually takes to make art every day.
In 2014, I had been going to art conventions for years, and I noticed a consistent puzzle. Artists were all talking about the struggle to sell, and everyone else was talking about the struggle to buy. Artists wanted to sell more work and experiment more outside their comfort zone. And the people buying wanted to buy more than they did. But the artists had to be consistent at these shows, and their art was often (deservedly) out of a starting collector’s price range.
I created Every Day Original to solve this puzzle. And it’s become much more.
At “EDO,” as it was soon called, we created a platform for artists to experiment with small work and for everyone to be able to start their art collection. Over the years, the success of EDO has allowed us to showcase new voices and voices that might otherwise not be “big” enough. Because we feature new work every single day, everyone has an opportunity to start their collection and support this vision.
By joining our mailing list, you join a community of people who believe that art isn’t just a commodity. It’s a passion and way of life that deserves to be seen and celebrated every day.
