# Artist Delivers Illustrated Movie Quote Every Day for One Year

Last spring, Ian Simmons made a pledge. On the occasion of his Reddit [Cake Day](<https://www.reddit.com/r/cakeday/>), the artist announced an ambitious 365 project: Create an original illustration from a famous movie quote every day for one entire year. Dude delivered. And the results are glorious.

Simmons is based in the coastal city of Swansea, Wales. He’s a songwriter, touring and session musician, and a lecturer at Neath Port Talbot College for Photoshop and graphic design classes. Lucky students. The man’s portfolio is impressive, but this project goes above and beyond. Simmons [says](<https://aplus.com/a/ian-simmons-365-hand-lettered-movie-quotes?no_monetization=true>) the movie quote idea came from his brother, a creative challenge of sorts. He kicked off the whole deal with *Fight Club* ("I want you to hit me as hard as you can…"), then started taking suggestions on social media. In the coming months, Simmons tackled everything from *Braveheart* and *Star Wars* to *Aladdin* and *The Big Lebowski*.

Naturally, more than a few of the designs included cars, helicopters, motorcycles, airplanes, and other relevant themes. Check out a sampling below; a comprehensive gallery is hosted on Imgur [here](<https://imgur.com/gallery/OMFVy>). See one you like? Good news: Simmons is now selling prints at [his Etsy store](<https://www.etsy.com/shop/southocreative>).
