Calling all artists…
It turns out that art = community = meaning. Artists are invited to create Artist Trading Cards (ATC) to illustrate my upcoming book, 37days. Artists of all kinds – digital artists, graphic designers, quilters, painters, weavers, calligraphers, mosaicists (is that a word?), you name it – are welcomed to participate. Sandy has compiled some nice links about ATCs including a link to a tutorial for making Artist Trading Cards, that you might find of interest if you’re new to this art form–and keep in mind that they can also be done by hand and not on the computer, just as long as the art could be photographed and/or scanned in order to be in digital form. The nitty-gritty details are here. Deadline for indicating interest in participating is November 16th; deadline for submission of final ATC is November 29, 2007. I hope you’ll consider joining the fun and will tell others around the world about it. Imagine, a whole world of art-makers focused on 37days challenges…!
PLEASE NOTE: I am traveling without consistent access to email or this blog – on Saturday (Nov 17), I will be back in touch with everyone who has emailed about participating – so please don’t worry that you haven’t heard from me until then. I will send out ATC “assignments” on Monday, November 19th. Until then, I am wandering the streets of Banff in a very warm puffy coat, with an altitude headache, being alarmed by big elk who suddenly appear beside me and appear to be well into mating season, and wanting to move into a small writer’s studio at the Banff Centre so as to write the next great American novel. Maybe something about a big whale or a red A or a telltale heart.
