For Fun

I sniped this from a friend's Facebook page . . . try it out! Here's mine:




1 - BAND NAME Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random article” or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - ALBUM TITLE Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - COVER ART Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together.

I would love to see yours!!!!

How Did I Miss This???


I attended an AP Studio Art Summer Institute this past week put on by the College Board (basically, I received training to teach Advanced Placement Studio Art for my high school) . . . one of the discussions was how to push students beyond cliche or trite subject matter in their concentration (or focus) pieces . . . The instructor pulled out a book called Skulls -- which started as a blog, in which this guy literally created a skull everyday, often from ordinary, everyday things.

Love the concept!
