It began as a project to inspire collaboration with between the artist and the viewer. Readers are an integral part of the creative process by providing the spark for each work. They initiate the collaboration by submitting a word or phrase that becomes the creative starting point for drawings. Each illustration is an interpretation of the word(s) and is posted with the submitter’s name. The submissions keep pouring in and the blog has reached 250 illustrations and counting. Visit the blog and submit a word.
The Book
