Art Around the World

Mon Apr 7, 2008, 5:26 PM


Ok.

So I sponsor two children with Plan USA now, one named Naim in Bangladesh and one named Seng in Cambodia. Plan advises me to send them pictures and letters often, which has more worth to these people than expensive gifts or toys. I wanted to send them a photo album full of art, and then I was thinking: what if some of YOU helped? That way these kids could get art from all around the world!

To participate, just draw, photoshop, paint, or even photograph where you live, what you look like, your favorite animal, what season it is, anything of that sort, and submit it to dA (if you want to send me the originals, you can, but still someone will get a copy because there are two kids). Then I will print it out and put it in this album along with your name, your country/state, and if you want, a picture of you.

I can't pay you for this, and I won't buy a print of what you submit, but you can submit it to dA and to prints if you want.

I am going to put the "deadline" at May 27th, but if you don't make that deadline, it's okay. This will be an ongoing project for me, and if you are late I can send it with some of my own drawings I will most likely be sending later as well. You can just note me with your submission.

I will submit a photo of the finished album, and will be sending an album to each kid along with a map that shows what country you are from.

No nudity, religious subjects, violence, or anything that you know would be a no-no to show to a kid under the age of 10. Thanks :D

EDIT: I need your RL name (first name), the city/country you live in, and please pick something for me. Just sending me to your gallery won't work. I am not a GD anymore! XD (srsly this was something people asked me to do as a GD when picking DD's...just go to the gallery!) ALSO if you have a watermark on your image, I won't use it and will prompt you to email me an un-watermarked version. I think dA's watermarks are tacky. I refused to DD anything with a watermark and it really inhibits my ability to appreciate the art fully, so if you really like the piece, be prepared to email me a file or take down the watermark, even if temporarily.

I'm going to see if I can take some really cute pictures of the bunnies for this. ^_^ This is such a cute idea!

If you've got time, since I couldn't do it right away, I would be willing to embroider something small for each child that could be sent over, as well. Let me know.
Well, if you want to, that's great! The "deadline" is in May, but like I said, you can stretch it if you need to.

Let's see, while I don't have any art to contribute, we did get an insane amount of snow this year and I have some pictures. Would that be acceptable? I can send you the online album and you can pick and choose which you'd like to send?
Sure!

I will see what I can come up with then, that won't take a year and a day. Are they both girls?

You can totally take any of my pictures from where I live!
In particular, if that's what you're asking for, especially these:
