Art Pick of the Day is a daily newsletter that features art prints hand-picked by art editors, curators and dealers. Each print is available in multiple sizes and framed options. The site also has interviews with artists, videos, and articles on art history.
Trevor Henderson and John Pugh are the co-founders of Art Pick of the Day. Henderson is a writer, independent curator, and director of exhibitions at London’s Art/Books/Projects Gallery. Pugh is an artist and curator with a focus on video and installation work.
Pugh said in an interview with The Guardian that the idea for Art Pick of the Day came from his frustration with how difficult it was to discover new art online. He explained that he once spent three hours scrolling through Google image search to find one image he liked for his living room wall, and decided there should be an easier way to find new artwork online.
The name Art Pick of the Day was inspired by The Daily Beast’s “Cheat Sheet,” which Pugh described as “a bundle of interesting things.” He said he wanted something along those lines but with images instead of links.”

Today’s Art Pick of the Day: Trevor Henderson, “Judas”
What a beautifully rendered piece! I’m not sure how you would call it, but I think of it as a kind of photo mosaic, where the artist uses his own photos to create a whole new image. The way he uses negative space to create the expression on Judas’ face is so skillful, and the whole thing has a very sinister feeling.
Trevor Henderson is an artist based in San Francisco, who has done many other great pieces. Definitely check out his Facebook page if you enjoy this one.
The hardest thing to do in the world is not to work. It’s having a productive idea and the discipline to devote yourself to it.
What I usually do is, I’ll have an idea in the shower or on a run, and then I’ll put it away for a week. If it seems as good then as it did when I first had it, I’ll start working on it. Then I just bang my head against it for six months.
As an artist, you’re constantly thinking about what you’re doing. The smallest decisions can become overwhelming because they matter so much. You can’t just be like, “Oh, whatever.” You have to really think about things.
Artists are always looking for something that looks good without having to think about it too much. But then when you see the painting hanging in a museum twenty years later and you see all the thought that went into it, you realize there’s no such thing as something that looks good without any thought behind it.
