Art by Committee: Randall

It’s February 15, time for the results of last months Art By Committee challenge. The line we had to illustrate was "Randall's avatar was a tortoise." You all came up with some really fun and creative solutions to the idea.

Art By Committee: Conversation

It’s the 15th of January, time for our group sketch game called "Art by Committee." The way it works is I share a science fiction quote and you come up with a picture to go with it. This month the starting point was a very long, and rather dull, conversation between "Billy" and "Souci." You all rose to the occasion with some creative solutions. Thanks, everyone, for participating. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkV25Sw7OX7_XIrphCKx7pbKmX6Wx8VfABB-_PRg3yhNcrDlz0flDuBTX5UA0V3YsMuaEjl0aVWuGX7kLFGMXhs5k_Cy6Lo501Z8DBgyIHEECLjWmBzuhomMV76hhEL3dPqZJZGhy0bwQ3/s1600-h/M.Geisslerl.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427047458863962802" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkV25Sw7OX7_XIrphCKx7pbKmX6Wx8VfABB-_PRg3yhNcrDlz0flDuBTX5UA0V3YsMuaEjl0aVWuGX7kLFGMXhs5k_Cy6Lo501Z8DBgyIHEECLjWmBzuhomMV76hhEL3dPqZJZGhy0bwQ3/s320/M.Geisslerl.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 230px;" /></a>Michael Geissler <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrBQhdDtr4RM53yZ9-TAhxd5SX2OekV2EBpKoCLIxvCltAZn5U8N8CSZFDmo3CiIp6rrrAx-SrWyc7L7TN6uKpIRD_-NiCOJY5HW6GYWt8_hQ0dKogCsDvuBD47e9u_r-Vo-2ss26JKOeW/s1600-h/Conversation_web.jpg">Blog</a> Michael says: "..and many thanks to <a href="http://www.apophysis.org/">Apophysis</a> for their amazing fractal generator." <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggqFRviUyjibE5OukFFFUzQR85_tpQO9VmX9ekxU_lLKGCWy4GqlD8trVnMgMNYMc2jOAOzrRwXyBbWzzHz243g-QoN2-wURHAmr7kQTcmdyo30bGZUvNnBvt93dCFhpE1iDN9t-DMLgc0/s1600-h/MeiYiChun.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427047468358239810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggqFRviUyjibE5OukFFFUzQR85_tpQO9VmX9ekxU_lLKGCWy4GqlD8trVnMgMNYMc2jOAOzrRwXyBbWzzHz243g-QoN2-wURHAmr7kQTcmdyo30bGZUvNnBvt93dCFhpE1iDN9t-DMLgc0/s320/MeiYiChun.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 320px;" /></a>Mei-Yi Chun <a href="http://pages.cthome.net/mychun/ABC16.html">Website</a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrl2MQ7d3U8F_TuFzsK3nTRGl19BI9LwXlGWjrsxvE-wj48zMOjyhFELiL8m193_9EAItiioPdYNI1nwoAy3NdSA7UWO_5Tq16Guh8VXPYrJxKQZkubN_WYnoo8-ncGe2_GG0mBUftinsr/s1600-h/Billy+and+Souci+(Ian+G+Mason+400px).JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427047454453262402" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrl2MQ7d3U8F_TuFzsK3nTRGl19BI9LwXlGWjrsxvE-wj48zMOjyhFELiL8m193_9EAItiioPdYNI1nwoAy3NdSA7UWO_5Tq16Guh8VXPYrJxKQZkubN_WYnoo8-ncGe2_GG0mBUftinsr/s320/Billy+and+Souci+(Ian+G+Mason+400px).JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 227px;" /></a>Ian Garrick Mason <a href="http://www.iangarrickmason.com/">Blog</a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRKCVoOgGz3YAPoLn7XI49y2lQBvtRsDUrURCO1Ptf_Rvv0RYJVzzNG6oCCNIUlo368IElQGO_FbrS9GAYqw_ivEU-9PhggyYVck_ch2Projt6r6BzaBP6_lZD2ejEZWLHyZcAp_RBmx9f/s1600-h/AndyWales.vsm.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427047448199862338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRKCVoOgGz3YAPoLn7XI49y2lQBvtRsDUrURCO1Ptf_Rvv0RYJVzzNG6oCCNIUlo368IElQGO_FbrS9GAYqw_ivEU-9PhggyYVck_ch2Projt6r6BzaBP6_lZD2ejEZWLHyZcAp_RBmx9f/s320/AndyWales.vsm.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 235px;" /></a>Andy Wales <a href="http://andrewwales.blogspot.com/2010/01/abc-26-lets-put-our-heads-together.html">Blog, with full-size comic </a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFWllXs49fcH8XVqY2zzoMLhi8yk-iGniffdEzwuGdVT2HtdSayzc8y6KHbj5cde76SDmwrtO_kW2ti1T1JlAORzN39Vg1aXB0rtq3mYNSGUeI-IATlo5ep9d9yeijhBNKTLE5dQdaLSyG/s1600-h/mario_zara.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427047459588660930" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFWllXs49fcH8XVqY2zzoMLhi8yk-iGniffdEzwuGdVT2HtdSayzc8y6KHbj5cde76SDmwrtO_kW2ti1T1JlAORzN39Vg1aXB0rtq3mYNSGUeI-IATlo5ep9d9yeijhBNKTLE5dQdaLSyG/s320/mario_zara.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" /></a>Mario Zara <a href="http://mariozara.blogspot.com/2010/01/souci.html"> Blog</a> Here's the quote for next month: "Randall's avatar was a tortoise."

Art By Committe: Cinderella

It’s the 15th of December, and that means it's time for our group sketch game called "<a href="http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/search/label/Art%20By%20Committee">Art by Committee</a>." This month it was the Business Card Challenge. Your job was to start with a real business card (taken off a bulletin board 25 years ago) and figure out who it belongs to. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNBLCf4OhjgxlfJ2RmCKPzdsl1YeOGB6KhoTOWVFw12K8kP8BOkmM44Www69nOzB_e7SbP9JOFRVRA3DSjJBx7Jo1k5AYm0G20W2RNm-6Ww3mSBFW_4YxQ8DcDGnuU2-kLxffh4J6BD1nS/s1600-h/Cinderella.vsm.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415416729444488882" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNBLCf4OhjgxlfJ2RmCKPzdsl1YeOGB6KhoTOWVFw12K8kP8BOkmM44Www69nOzB_e7SbP9JOFRVRA3DSjJBx7Jo1k5AYm0G20W2RNm-6Ww3mSBFW_4YxQ8DcDGnuU2-kLxffh4J6BD1nS/s400/Cinderella.vsm.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 249px;" /></a>The Cinderella maid service card sparked some creative character studies.

Six Foot Chicken

It’s the 15th of October, and that means it's time for our group sketch game called "Art by Committee." The way it works is I share an excerpt from a science fiction story and you come up with a picture to go with it. This month the quote was : <blockquote>"I became immediately and irrationally angry. How dare this six foot chicken with a silly red crest on top of his narrow foolish head say that we humans were deficient in feii? I controlled...." </blockquote> You all had fun with the story and the annoying chicken. Thanks to everyone who participated. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh32sxazsgsuwwH2YxyPq2Ub5wrwviQxDzX8rJamX3V_th2yEF8eVCKRll7q1MsdUzUIW08MkBs-D-RRVvlKdZ6KaUlEsGzPu73FdxGwo6LJFKXzWCgj8Fhc0lbLAcAM_S66Q64IChLMgE/s1600-h/GeisslerChickenLittle.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392789315719494402" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh32sxazsgsuwwH2YxyPq2Ub5wrwviQxDzX8rJamX3V_th2yEF8eVCKRll7q1MsdUzUIW08MkBs-D-RRVvlKdZ6KaUlEsGzPu73FdxGwo6LJFKXzWCgj8Fhc0lbLAcAM_S66Q64IChLMgE/s400/GeisslerChickenLittle.jpg" style="display:block;

Art By Committee: Chains

The 15th of September has arrived, and that means it's time for our group sketch game called "Art by Committee." The way it works is I share an excerpt from a science fiction story and you come up with a picture to go with it. This month the quote was "He stood and held his arms out before him, pulling the chains taut. The muscles in his shoulders and his chest bunched, standing out in sharp relief, and a moment later, the chains snapped cleanly." Everyone had fun dealing with those elemental forces, and the results are wonderful. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaahBg-yEisLeiTnGensObJVeX2d9MiCNvpvRil6ZxRnWhI8t-l9F6QV4ofYQA_juoEjhx9fE8RW2w4RTeJYgGUsgi9RyMKtrlYoe3RYvwTSZrCfDpUBDbNs_Nsyk1mTmnQcMz43WSVSM/s1600-h/mario_zara.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381682567241827778" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaahBg-yEisLeiTnGensObJVeX2d9MiCNvpvRil6ZxRnWhI8t-l9F6QV4ofYQA_juoEjhx9fE8RW2w4RTeJYgGUsgi9RyMKtrlYoe3RYvwTSZrCfDpUBDbNs_Nsyk1mTmnQcMz43WSVSM/s400/mario_zara.jpg" style="display:block;
