    It may be an exercise, I did fine art in college and need to find ways to play with real materials and step away from the LCD - just want to share that opp. with other creative types.

    Here's the letter I'll include with the artwork:

    MY TAKE: reworking an existing art series

    Thanks for taking some time and making your mark on some of my artwork. I’ve completed a series of exercises using Pantone markers/pencil/watercolor pencils on color fields, using multiples of banal imagery. It didn’t feel quite finished so I had the idea of asking other artists and designers to reinterpret it however they want to. I’d like to see how far each piece can deviate from the original series, yet maintain a cohesive sense when viewed together.

    The idea is authorship and re-authorship. In the most basic visual display, can you manipulate a rectangle that someone else has already drawn on and create something that is uniquely you, yet references and adheres to the original whole.

    Please return the artwork no later than: Oct. 1, 2003
    Please join and invite your friends to the one night only party/gallery of the pieces:

    Thanks again–
