FLIGHT

One of my favorite artist blogs is the Gurney Journey, by artist James Gurney. He's currently holding a challenge he calls Art by Committee. He posts a random selection of a science fiction novel and asks any willing artists to interpret it visually. This week's challenge is to illustrate this scene.

"Stone emitted a kind of bark -- ha! -- and showed his teeth again."

We have no idea what novel it came from or anything else about the story. Here's my submission.

I haven't visited this forum in a little while, but it's nice to see what you're doing. I especially like the cover do-overs on your blog. I look forward to seeing more of these.

My Art By Committee Challenge entry is a very loose interpretation of the prompt,

Either I'm wasting my time with these, or it just might be going somewhere.

I think that story generating tools, prompts and challenges like these are a form of apophenia -spontaneous perception of connections and meaningfulness of unrelated phenomena. Have you seen the comics people do with scripts that come from spam emails?

Here's my latest entry for the ABC challenge:

I had a good time sneaking in references like naming the guy Harold (Hermes was a herald) and being sent to the "underworld" to get the Tarturus ("Hell") file for Mr. Orcus (the one who sent people there in Greek mythology).

If anyone visits Gurney's blog, you will learn more about art than you can imagine! http://www.gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/

"Their voices were high pitched and piercing, yet human." This was the ABC Challenge this week. I immediately thought of the BeeGees, and worked them into the current Andar epic.
