New Jam? - Post photos & artists draw or paint the image

Post by Doreen Peri » October 16th, 2010, 10:57 pm

A few years ago, we had one of my favorite jams.

It was an event where we posted photos as the first post in the thread and then artists would either draw or paint or otherwise express their interpretation of the image and post their drawings or paintings (and poetry, too) as a response.

It was very cool.

So the first post in the thread is a photo .... and the subsequent posts are the artist's renditions, cartoons, drawings, or other artistic interpretations of the photo,

What do you think? Would you all be interested in doing something like this again?

hey doreen!
It's a fabulous idea.
I think what's going on is now that the banner switch is so stimulating, it takes a chunk out of my concentration power - that is to say, i didn't really realize that this was a new thread (even though i click on view new posts).

So, excuse my delay.

Great idea. Let's do it.
when?

I might jump on in.

COOOOOL!!!

I'm really glad you're all interested in doing this again!

I donno when... gotta pray to the Time Gods first to figure it out.

tick tick tick.

Maybe during the holidays? What do you think?

From Thanksgiving until New Years.

No wait, maybe that's too long.

The last one we called "Portrait of Love Jam" ... we posted portraits of either people or things or places we loved.

I like that name. I think we should call it that again. People, places and things we love.

Or maybe we need a new name? What do you think? A different theme?

tick tick tick.

Only the Time Gods know when we'll do it.

What say you, fellow eighters? All suggestions for theme, dates, etc. post them here...!
:mrgreen:

Thank you!

totally in favour
even though it's hot as hell today round these parts, maybe a winter jam will encourage a little cool to come round

When does it start getting cool in Israel? What's the temperature today?

When do you think it would be a good idea to do this? And for how long?

Any theme ideas?

All ideas welcome! Thank you!

when does it get cool? It depends on the usual assortment of 10,000 things.
who knows.

could be anytime now.
i remember wearing t-shirts in late december some years.

So: when?
Whenever you like.
Pick a day and let it roll for 2 weeks, I'd say - that gives us time to join in, live life and post.

Possible theme: Making it through the day

I have an idea.

Let's do it for the entire month of December. Sometimes it takes people a while to draw or paint something and this will give time also for multiple threads.

Dec 1st - 31st....

Making it through the day, making it through the year... something.. hmmm..

The last one we did was called "The Portrait of Love Jam"... where we posted photos of people or things or places we love.

Hmmm... again... That was pretty actually.... We could do a 2nd jam same title? Maybe?

All we need is love. That's what they say. Whoever they are. Oh yeah, the prophets John & Paul.... and George and Ringo too.

Anyway so it could be a winter warmth jam, a love jam, an art jam .... taking us through the holidays... a holy damn jam... haha.. sorry, pardon moi, just rhyming.

Thinking aloud... as always. I really want to do this! We will do this!

What do you think? Dec 1 - 31st? or new year's day or something?
