In an effort to continue right brain thinking and create art, not war, I am announcing a little project for those of you who are creatively active (or not)
to make art with me. It's called Jam cards and this is how it works. It takes three people. The first person makes three identical cards 2.5 by 3.5 in size. Card stock. They make a background on the cards. Be creative...stamp it, paint it, whatever..but three identical ones. Then it is mailed to the second person who adds a main image layer of art to it and then sends it along to the third person who embelishes the first and second efforts. They keep one and send the other two back to the first person who keeps one and then sends one to the second person.
Ok got that? This is where more fun comes in....it's a YES theme ALWAYS on these Jam cards! So anything YES related is the rule. You can do something inspired by the music including solo stuff, by the cover art of albums or by Roger Dean! This is alot of fun trust me. It is the beginning of a very artistic set of YES trading cards so to speak. So don't be shy. I will start out the first round. I need TWO people who want to join in with me. Please email me if you are interested. The first two people to respond to me are in. I will then give more detailed info to those people.
Ok happy arting!! Looking forward to getting this going. Dakini

I am so excited about this. I think it can be a very contagious thing too. I hope to have lots of fans joining in eventually...anyone can start a "round". It would be a fun thing to bring to fan gatherings to exhibit too.

I haven't been painting in a while, but this is my addition: Sorry! Words only!

war is that which grows nothing
souring this microscopic bauble
lift a hand at weariness
bearing dead olive branches more figleaf than dovetailflight from me
selah-think this dream
world as a poem
just be
and flower

Hey there Earlie!!

Nice to hear f/m ya'! Hope everything's going very well - Hey, you can add a poem to our card(s), you know? You're poetry is far-out....I'm diggin' it!! This should be real interesting and a lot of fun!

Hey Dances - just wanted to say "hello" - Can't wait to see how these turn out!

Hey Earlie! Thanks for the Contribution....anything goes on these jam cards.....

Sarah, I would very much like to be in on the next round, or the one after. Wherever I can fit. I can draw, I can sort of paint, and I can write. So, put me where I am needed.

This sounds like a very fun idea!

Hey Sschiff, if one more person is interested we could actually start a second round robin.
So far it's you and Dances. I could mail the # 1 person the instructions with a completed sample. Just so people know...you can use any medium, the sky is the limit. It could be as easy as glueing on cut outs or embellishing a photo that was the first layer....
its really easy! you don't have to know anything to do this. It's just plain FUN. So come on someone else! And we will get a second round going! How about you yesmen out there...come on....try it....you're not cool if you don't just try it....hehehheee aakk I'm an art pusher!Please remember that the ONLY RULE is that whatever you put on these jam cards is YES RELATED. And a reminder that the cards are little....2.5 inches by 3.5 inches. Like the size of a baseball trading card.
