ABOUT THE PROJECT

What do you think the project is about? Well for Patrick and I it began as way to collaborate 2000 miles apart. We wanted to avoid the costs of mailing pieces back and forth...as if we were living in the 80's, shcya right.... internet is here baby and we are exploiting its free opportunities. So the idea of using the internet became more and more attractive, for financial reasons, as well it universality, its ease of use and its function as a new medium for artists. We are interested in how paintings can be created, discussed, destroyed, etc using the internet/ blogosphere. Since leaving Muncie Patrick and i have not spoken in real time, all of our communication has been over the internet. How does this effect dialog between two people? especially in the realm off artistic collaboration? Our plan is too make paintings, post them discuss them, and make new paintings. Sounds like fun huh? You are also encouraged to participate and tell us your opinions of our work and project. This is why we are using the internet... for you.

What do you think we can do with this project? Do u have any input or ideas? reflections, observations? This blog is just beginning, however in the near future will grow and grow, we will frequently be posting new ideas and new paintings, so save us in your bookmarks/favorites and check back often for your daily dose of swivel!
