Due to the success of the first run which sold out in an incredible 4 days, this second edition printing features a new cover colorway and is printed on gloss paper. This edition also includes a supplementary spiral bound book of illustrations from the backsides of the sheets of flash that Chad painted throughout 2024. This additional content is a mixture of notes and sketches that provide a deeper context of the project, shining light on Chad’s thoughts as he painted.

When most people keep a diary, they usually start writing things down each day: memories, quotes, inspirations, etc. Chad Koeplinger is not like most people, so when he decided to keep a journal for 2024, he chose to paint all-new sheets of flash each and every day. No matter where he was or what circumstance he found himself in, Koeplinger sat down and painted at least one entirely original sheet of flash. He never faltered in his production of this year-long artistic expression, and the result is, to put it bluntly, astounding.

From one day to the next, Koeplinger’s styles and color studies vary exponentially. And while there are continuous thematic elements throughout the work, each sheet has its own identity and can stand alone as a singular piece of art in and of itself. The dedication it took to pursue and finish this project is a testament to Chad’s durability and boundless creativity as an artist.

This year-long project culminated with an art opening featuring all of Chad’s original work on display at Great Lakes Tattoo in Chicago, IL on March 28th, 2025.
