Did you know that “anemic galaxies” actually exist in the universe? They’re deficient in many elements required to create stars. These galaxies lack the outstanding beauty of bright stars and really defined spirals… they just can’t keep up.
I found out about this while searching for references for the background. I was instantly attracted to beautiful galaxy that the Hubble Space telescope captured that looked different to the rest I’ve seen. Why am I telling you this? Because on that same day I found out that I am very anemic!
I know, not a laughing matter, but now I know that out there, in the universe, there are galaxies that lack iron too =) The one I liked is known as “NGC 4689”, and it’s a cutie.
You are no stranger to feeling awful and useless when your health is less than ideal. I’ve found that I can’t keep up with work, ideas flow slowly and trying to get by is challenging. Still, the work that I make in those conditions has the same amount of love.
We might lack the fuel that makes our bodies work properly, but we’re not lacking in effort and courage to keep going. Right?
As I feel comforted by looking at the sky in my worst days, I hope that my art (my little stars) reaches someone who needs it. That it can serve as a reminder that out there, there are galaxies creating stars in the worst conditions, and they’re still beautiful, inspiring and very much appreciated!

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.
