A call to all the readers out there…

by | Mar 15, 2009 | call for entry, emerging artist, job posting, monday morning eye candy, movie day, residency opportunity, show us your influences, technical tuesday

So i’ve been thinking lately that this blog is visually quite boring. What I mean is that when I get to read everyone else’s blogs they always look so nice filled with images and eye candy to inspire, provoke thought and well, just to look pretty. It’s hard with calls for entry to have alot of images…So here’s the deal…I was thinking that since I’ve got this great readership every month (yes you know that you’re all wonderful!) why not showcase more of the readers work? So i’m going to give this a try and it’s sorta up to you guys if it works or not, but here goes…for the month of April, each and everyday (along with the usual musing posts about calls for entry, etc.) I want to post an image of a readers work. So here’s where you come in…The first 30 people (literally, there will be no selection process) to email me with an image of their work, a link to their site if they have one (not a requirement that you have one), and a two sentence or so bit about them, their work, the color of the sky in your place in the world, or your favorite ice cream, glaze color…whatever, you get the idea. This is a first come, first serve sort of thing, no preference given to those of you I know, and likewise no points against those of you I know. Just whoever gets an email to my inbox first! Who knows, if it works maybe we’ll keep it up each month!
