Michael Shapcott is a full-time artist based in central Connecticut. He says that art is his life, so it makes sense that he has launched a Kickstarter project to help him draw a portrait a day for 365 days — using his backers as his subjects. For those of us that are camera shy, rewards also include beautiful prints, painting tutorials, or a peek into the creative process via live video feed. Pretty neat!
