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.

Really great to get in the mail, thank you. I was so impressed. I'll start working my favorite idea on the postcard soon.
