wheresharri My amazing friend Juliana put up one of my posters in Rome. This is incredible. I hope I help make someone's day in the Northern Hemisphere. #wheresharri #notinrome #12kindsofkindness

bng.design @timothygoodman once said that if you want to change your look, change your tool. I decided to freely paint today for the first time. I took on the #12kindsofkindness challenge because I owe it to them (@jessicavwalsh ) for making me feel less alone when I feel so trapped inside my own mind. Thank you for your courage to share your stories with the world. If you haven't already, check out their new social experiment! It's pretty rad. (1/4) #hardconversations #thesis

bng.design It's strange how you can sometimes feel more connected to a project and to strangers than you do to the people around you. #12kindsofkindness (2/4)

pranitart Yesterday was my 365th day of #pranitasdrawingaday. At first I was really confused about what my final drawing should be, and I began reflecting on the last 365 days. This project has helped me in a lot of ways – it taught me to create discipline. It taught me to stop beating myself if the drawing isn’t perfect but instead to enjoy the process of drawing. It taught to experiment without having any final goal. It is really difficult to think of something to draw everyday, which is how I started observing things more and more. And I don’t only mean observing people and the environment; I began observing my moods, my feelings, my emotions, and tried capturing them on paper. This helped analyse a lot of my problems and de-stress. My confidence as an artist and a person has increased a lot, I had times when I wouldn’t draw until I visualised an idea by the fear of it not looking good on paper. Today, I make lots of drawings, and embrace even the ugly ones, learning something new from each scrapped paper. I realised that creating art for myself or a client isn’t about the final artwork, its about the process of enjoying the artwork. And these realisations apply to my life as well. The discipline, will and confidence created by drawing everyday has made me a better/ more efficient person. I’m far more comfortable about my work, and myself. And the biggest realisation I got last year from this project is you have to get up and do it, don’t snooze your alarm, just get up, cause its now or never. Whether it is about improving my drawing skills, or about running/exercising more often, or about wanting to be a nicer person. Waiting for anything to happen that’s fully in your control is just wasting time. And I urge everyone to do something they like doing everyday, whether its drawing, writing or practicing math! I’d also like to add that #12kindsofkindness by Jessica Walsh and Timothy Goodman is a fabulous project. I love them first as people and then as designers. It is beautiful how they’re contributing via art and design to help people and themselves. Such therapeutic self-initiated projects are the ones I thrive on. Thank you for constantly being an inspiration <3

ickledose We always knew the #rules of #kindness. Stop thinking that being #asshole is #cool. #12kindsofkindness #jessicawalsh #timothygoodman #experiment #good #openyourheart #replace

genuineandginger If you don't know about #12kindsofkindness a social experiment by @timothygoodman and @jessicavwalsh you are missing out. I started the year being really aware of how selfish and shitty I can be and started my own project to be a giver, to actually genuinely interact with people to be invested in people and then I saw this project and was instantly thankful for other people who saw that ugliness in themselves and did something about it. Go to their website 12kindsofkindess.com for all the deets. You'll be challenged by it and better for it.

wheresharri My favourite designers @jessicavwalsh and @timothygoodman are at it again. This time its #12kindsofkindness. This morning I took my first step. Step 1: Can I Help You? Everyone has shitty days and it can take a strangers smile, a friend telling you a lame joke or your boss letting you know you doing an incredible job, to help make your day. I put up a bunch of "how can I make your day better?" posters around Cape Town, with tear off tags of things that might be exactly the kind of help someone needs to make their day. This one I put up on my morning walk, 40min later while driving to work I noticed someone had taken "a laugh." That made my day and it's only 8am:) I hope they have a day full of laughter and enjoyed my lame joke. #wheresharri #capetown

nicolenalazek {32/365} Two of my favorite designers launched their new blog today and no surprise, it's excellent 👍🏻👍🏻

jessicavwalsh Tomorrow morning Tim and I are launching our new blog #12kindsofkindness. As two self-centered New Yorkers often focused on what’s ahead instead of what’s around us, we created a series of 12 steps as a way to become kinder, more empathetic people. As a resolution, we practiced and documented this for 12 months. We're going to roll it out on the blog every day for the next month. Check out Step 1 tomorrow at 12kindsofkindness.com // Many thanks to the awesome people who helped make this blog possible. We'll be tagging you as we go! @timothygoodman
