The Philpott Lake Project

Information

I came across almost 50 unused postcards of an unfortunate looking lake in Virginia at a junk shop yesterday and I think they have potential.

I was hoping that I could send them out to any interested artist, they could alter them as they see fit, send them back to me, and I could publish the responses in any format the group would like. Maybe I could scan them and create a Tumblr page?

No restrictions on the medium or content, first 47 responses, and I will publish as we go.

I am open to any and all suggestions.

I am also a new member, so please correct and forgive me if I don't understand quite how things work yet. Participants will be sent a piece of art from me as well.

Comment by Diana Hale on May 28, 2015 at 7:21pm: Apologies to everyone, I am taking a little trip over the next week and half, so I will not be posting received photos until the 12th or so.

I will bring the blanks along the road with me (I think there are 18 left at this point), so if you would like to invite anyone to join the group, please do!

I will attempt a trip out to the lake when I return. Thanks!

Thank you for inviting!

Yes I am interesting getting the postcard and alter whatever I can.
