Open Call III

Open Call III
[Now in IMAX 3D]

Hello all you wonderful internet people!

It's 2012 and it's time to start fresh once more... before the world ends in December... yeah...
I don't really believe in the world ending this but I think it's more fun to think about that rather than the world continuing further down this spiral we've been leisurely riding...

Ok! Enough of that!
Let's get positive!
Let's get cooperative!
Let's get interactive!

It's time for a fresh start... and so I'm starting off 2012 with a good old Open Call!

So!
Photographers!
Disposable point & clickers!
Scanners of the ol' family albums!
Hispstomatic Instagrammers!

Get at me with some pictures you'd like to see become original paintings! The idea here, for newcomers... is that the picture you send me doesn't have to be a "good picture," it only needs to have "that little something."

The rules are simple:

1- Find your image
2- Email it to me at P.Summind@gmail.com
3- Make yourself a cup of coffee
4- Don't take it personal if your image doesn't make the cut this time... I've used images 2 years after having found them... it's a process...
5- Keep an eye on the blog to see what comes out of this Open Call

Please see here some of the stuff that has come out of past Open Calls [Jan 2010 & Oct 2010]:

Les Freaks d'Helene:

Les Velos de Guillaume:

Rachel's Marie-Anne:

I look forward, once more, to receiving your images and am convinced something very cool will come of this... Share this with your friends... Blog this... Tell your grandma!

For those who are concerned with "rights" and stuff... Feel free to let me know how you feel... But you may be missing the point... This is all for fun and for the sake of making this art thing interactive!

As a side note:
I can't believe how many regular hits this Ryan Gosling post/piece has been getting... It's been all over the blogs and tumblr's without me doing anything and for that I'm super psyched... I didn't even know such a thing could happen! Keep sharing! Keep up the interactivity!

Peace!
Love!
Coffee!
