Failed artist seeking audience participation.
pwhodges:
Sadly, when I was seriously ill at age 13, I was out of school for half a year - and then went to a new one. One of the casualties of that period was my art; but I guess I wasn't so much inspired by it, as I would have made it happen otherwise. None-the-less, I had won a national "prep-schools" competition the previous year, and had that picture exhibited in London. It's the only surviving relic of my painting... It was called "Birds in a tree" - and I had them fighting and stealing eggs.
er...
I'm sure I had a relevant reason for starting this message - but I can't think of it now.
Scandanavian War Machine:
my assignment to you is The Meat Industry.
beef, specifically.
EDIT: i just realized this may have sounded sarcastic but i assure you i am being completely serious, and i think this sounds like a great idea. also, you are good at painting.
Metope:
The Meat Industry? Well, this will be interesting, because I know practically nothing about the subject, and I'm far from being a vegetarian. Seeing how you didn't specify if you wanted me to make a pro- or con-Meat Industry (or completely neutral) painting, I guess it's up to me. Anyway, thanks for the assignment and compliment!
Also (and this goes out to everyone): After reading Khar's superb critique and advices, I've been doing a little thinking and decided that this thread probably wasn't a great idea. So from now on I won't be doing any new assignments. I will do Pants and Scandinavian War Machine's assignments however, because they have been kind enough to contribute, and I'm already looking forward to it.
michaelicious:
You should read Ruth Ozeki's My Year of Meats for inspiration!
