The printmaking challenge rules will be simple and the subject will be very loose, so we can get lots of people participating.
1. The challenge is open to entries from June 12 - September 12.
2. The challenge is open to all methods of printmaking, but I think a special emphasis will be made of linocuts as it is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to participate in printmaking without having experience or lots of equipment.
3. The challenge entries will be limited to 3 per artist, and should be made in an "Entries" thread which I will open tomorrow. I ask that that thread be used only for actual entries, and that comments be reserved for either this thread or for any individual thread devoted to the making of a particular entry made by the artist. Please scan or photograph your entry. Post it in the "Entries" thread, found in the Printmaking Forum, or send it to me directly and I will post it for you. You should include an explanation of your piece in accordance with the theme, and any notes about the process you wish to include.
4. There will be a popular vote after the close of the entry period. I'm willing to extend the voting past the holiday season if required, but I hope to have it close before the end of December.
With the particulars out of the way, here's the theme:
Literature! The scenes, characters and events that never happened, but affected you anyway. It can be a scene or particular character. Characters do not have to be human. But, it must come from literature--a short story, book, novel, etc--no comics, no picture books, etc. Bring the printed word to life. No holds barred here, just try to make the images as you imagined them when you first read them--rather than falling in line with a movie/popular image.
