(patron-only project time!)
hallo loves....
greetings from london where i am still exhausted.
in the cracks, becauise deadlines for the holiday....
i have a project for you!
i'm putting together a slightly secret-holiday patreon surprise but i need some THINGS for it.....
i would love to gather together a handful (i need at least 40-50 to make it work) of PHOTOS FROM PATRONS from all over the place, and all i need from you is an uploaded photo, your name, and WHERE YOU ARE FROM.
not just any photo!
I HAVE A PLAN.
RULES!
1. most critical: IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PHOTO, there needs to be a star. a star of any kind. a star from your tree, a star made of tin foil, a star cut out of paper, a star drawn on your hand, a star tattoo, a star on your belly like a sneech, a star, a star!!!! a two-dimensional or three-dimensional or four-dimensional STAR! just make sure it's basically in the MIDDLE of the photo - try your best.
2. YOU can be in the photo, and you can interpret that as you want.....also on option: multiple people, whole families, dogs, cats....and: you could also NOT be in the photo. but a picture of a star on a plain white wall won't, y'know, say very much, so try to be creative and have the p[hoto reflect your life, home, situation....somehow. wide berth. here. think abot what you would want the world to see, a window into your world.
3. specs: the photo can be taken inside, outside, upside-down-side, but it needs to be LANDSCAPE, not VERTICAL. this is important! black and white or color is FINE. please send it as hi-res as you can.
4. very important: MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE YOUR LOCATION WHEN YOU FILL OUT THE FORM!!! (like this: CITY, COUNTRY).
you can cheat and say you're from ANCHORAGE, ALASKA (if you're actually from anchorage, alaska) even if you're taking the picture in florida, that's fair. you can, basically, pick the more tasty option: where the photo is taken, or where you are from.
ok!!!!!
**note !! if we get a TON we will need to winnow it down. don’t be sad if we don’t use yours in the main project, we will put up a gallery of everything if we can!!**
just some examples, ideas,,,,easy quick ones.
just popped outside and made this one with jason ...
you can obviously get extravagant if you want and build whole theatrical sets!!!!....i took these photos in under 5 minutes using nothing but a pen and a paper-towel and a star sticker i stole from ash's bedroom. you can beat me by a yard, people.
oh and
....we took this group london-shintaido star-photo the other day (well, gaby took it:)
(shintaido was really wonderful!!! london, people, reminder that there's still room on the 13th and 14th, info here.)
ok!!!!
