hey guys. this is just something i've been into lately, and i'm curious if anyone else wants to participate.
when i was in undergrad, myself and two others (an artist and a lit major) got together and did a bunch of sets that we called 'pictureboxes' or 'oneshots' (not the normal use of the term). the writer would pen a short story - few hundred words at most - and give it to me. i'd write some background music that captured the feel without being really in your face and huge, and the artist would draw something for an illustration. the writings were usually either based in the future or generally dystopic, the music was generally ambient/electronic stuff, and the drawing was usually pretty abstract and out there. it's just intended for a feel, more than a continuation of a storyline.
we did ten or twelve of them during the course of my time at college. i don't have anything left of them because they were just something that we goofed around with.
now that we've all graduated, we've gone our separate ways...and i'd like to get back to doing these.
SO.
is anyone interested in participating in working on a few of these? you don't have to be good at what you do, it just needs to generate an idea. shoot me a pm or reply here, and we'll get going.
we need artists more than writers nowadays, though feel free to jump in and contribute writing as well!
