ORIGINAL ART. ONGOING EXPERIMENTS. A STUDIO BUILT TO GROW.

Barely Improved is an independent art studio founded and run by William Redd II, built around original work, the 365 Project, experimentation, and creative collaboration.

It begins with one artist, but the goal is larger: to build a place where artists across disciplines can be seen, supported, connected, and given more room to create.

It starts here. It isn’t meant to stay small.

THE 365 PROJECT

ONE DRAWING. EVERY DAY. FOR A YEAR.

A year-long drawing project built around one commitment: make something every day. Every piece is drawn in black Pilot G2 ink, without erasing and without visual references.

The result is less about perfection than momentum, discipline, mistakes, and watching an artist change in real time.

BARELY IMPROVED / ARTIST COMMUNITY

BUILT FOR MORE THAN ONE ARTIST.

Barely Improved begins with the work of its founder, but the studio is being built with a wider purpose: to give independent artists across disciplines another place to be discovered, supported, and taken seriously.

Traditional art, digital work, music, film, photography, body art, design, writing, games, and whatever refuses to fit neatly into a category all belong in the conversation.
