How good is this!? The idea seems to be a theme is posted and artists respond, their work is then blogged on Illustrationfriday.com...
Illustration Friday is a weekly creative outlet/participatory art exhibit for illustrators and artists of all skill levels. It was designed to challenge participants creatively. We believe that every person has a little creative bone in their body. Illustration Friday just gives a no-pressure, fun excuse to use it. No clients looking for a particular thing. No one judging the outcome of the work. It's a chance to experiment and explore and play with visual artIt was started by Penelope Dullaghan, ht to Alexia for the link. The artists produce work in all sorts of media inc. digital, collage, paint, pen & ink, pastel, silkscreen, watercolor, woodblock, intaglio, monotype etc. all the images link back the artists own site.Illustration Friday is a weekly illustration challenge. A topic is posted every Friday and then participants have all week to come up with their own interpretation. Topics are picked each week from a list of suggestion that have been emailed by participants.
Another helpful part of Illustration Friday is the art forum. The art forum is meant to build a creative community. A safe place to discuss creative issues, ask questions or just get feedback on your work. Want to find out how to get a certain texture? Ask. Want to find people in your area to start an illustration group? The art forum is a good place to start.
You never know I might even have a go ;-)
Hey thanks Mark. I have seen these on some people's sites, but never knew where they came from. This might be just the thing to kick-start some creativity. What a great idea!
