guest project
The idea of this project is to add something more colorful and graphical to MAWOL. It is an audience participation project that means if it does not suceed it is not my fault ;o) It could turn out very nicely or it could be rubbish.
The link below launches a window with an outline of a figure on it split into parts. The aim of the project is to invite people to submit photos of their corresponding body parts to make up the complete figure....
The inspiration is three-fold;
Firstly, to create a figure that is representative of the readers of MAWOL. How you appear is largely up to yourselves and your choice of submission*.
Secondly, from those drawings I used to do as a child where you folded a piece of paper into a concertina shape and each person drew a different part of the body which upon unfolding the paper was humorous.
Lastly, I have always been a fan of those David Hockney photo montages. This is a kind of bastardised multi-person version!
You can submit photos by emailing them to me at guest@moreawayoflife.org
*Submission Notes
If I am sent more than one photo of the same body part I may decide to use animated gifs or rollovers to scroll thru each one.
Any photos submitted will be used for this project only and then deleted.
The photos can be of any body part, clothed or not, which relates to the figure.
If you do not have a suitable graphics package and you wish me to crop a certain body part in your photo I can do this for you.
I will not use any parts of the photo you don't wish to appear.
I reserve the right to withold any photo from the figure that I deem unsuitable for whatever reason.
If you have any questions about the project please email me on the above address.
The project will run from now until the resident blogger decides they have had enough. I will endeavor to update the site each weekday evening, plus I will post a new entry when there is something new to see.
