This is a long time coming.

This blog represents us always saying that we should find a way to force ourselves to be creative.  Really it's forcing each other to create, since we have bad habits when it comes to encouraging our own creative productivity.  We grew up with round-robin storytelling and drawing, staying up way too late and making art.  We have both spent a considerable portion of our adult lives to art of one kind or another, but have both fallen into the ruts of inactivity.  Luckily, we brothers are in the same place and time again, and we intend to capitalize on it.

Introductions are in order.  This is us as we are at the very moment.

Jeremy-  Former Art/Theatre/Film Student, now art hobbyist who shows great talent.  Husband and Father, there just isn't enough time in the day for wild creative endeavors anymore.  His artistic interests lie in short film, ink, pencil, sequential art, photography, sculpture, painting and animation.  Many of the media listed have only been accomplished rare few times-successfully- but Jeremy has a great desire for more, and his dreams never die.

Adam- Recent graduate of the Portfolio Center and lover of art in any capacity, he spends his time doodling, exploring and generally designing whatever he gets his hands on. Now looking for his place in the world and the design community, he hopes to use this blog to express and bring into focus his vast interests and diverse inspiration. He also has a birthmark that looks like Australia.





Our game is simple and open to much interpretation.  We will use a book as our game's frame.  Each page of the book represents a new day.  We will alternate days as the assigner of topic and artist.  One of us chooses a word, or theme, or really anything from the day's page and assign it to the other.  The artist, once assigned, has to submit something as a response.  The submission may be any medium the artist chooses, and as loosely or specifically tied to the assignment as he wishes.  That is the extent of the rules of the game.  There may be some refining as we go along, but for now, and perhaps always, this is all we need.

For our first book we have chosen The Neverending Story, by Michael Ende.  For us this story represents imagination.  The great evil that the heroes are fighting to thwart is the Nothing, the end of existence, the enemy of creation.  It seemed a valid choice.

And so it begins...
