Let's do another art jam, want to?
Some time back we did a "Portrait of Love" art jam. It was great fun and very inspiring. We created a separate forum for it. It's in the archives down below in case you'd like to look.
The way it worked was the person who started a thread would post a photo of someone they loved. Then those who participated with draw or paint or do a digital art piece inspired by the photo and post their piece to the thread.
I got this idea from a live arts event where they set up a long table and several artists sat at the table. Then the public lined up and would sit in front of one artist, then move down the line to the next, and so on. Each of the artists would draw them. They allowed 10 minutes or something for each sitting before moving onto the next so these were pretty quick sketches. The result was that there were several drawings of the each person by different artists which later they displayed in a show.
Pretty cool, huh?
So anyway, want to do this? Some time in June maybe? For a week or so?
What say you, artsy people?
(It wouldn't be limited to visual art, either, btw... you could reply to the image with words if you like)

friday will be a fifty-fifty thing to me - we'll either have our computer tech guy around (a friend who's assisting us with a total re-build of our business homepage) or not.... if he's here, i'll be busy and won't be abel to artjam; if he's not, the date will be perfect.
saturday, i can't. busy.
sunday during the daytime could work.
i'd really love to help make this happen!

Hi panta and judih
Why don't we do it for longer than a weekend. For a whole week or two maybe. What do you think? That would give people time to get here when they have the opportunity. Hell, we could do a month long summer Image-ination Jam, if we wanted to stretch it that long. Why not?
I'll set it up starting Friday night and initially set it for a week or two. Then we can always extend it if we want. How's that sound?
