Blogs - The 100 Artists Project

100 (Artists) Writers

I know it's confusing, but someone mentioned I should post something for the wordsmiths. The 100AP, hopefully you know by now, is running again and with a few new projects. One of those is the writing project. As of now I've set it up to be 20 writers and up to 10 pages maximum - all prose, no scripts. Time to get your sci-fi, horror, western, drama hats on and do some short stories. Same as with the others, the book will be printed and sold through a POD, (likely Lulu or Blurb, I may do both.… Continue

Round Two Underway

After many months of promises and false starts, the second round of the 100AP is underway. Please visit the main site for all the details. What's New? I've broken up the original projects and have added a few more. The mail in 100 now ties in to the CBLDF and the sketchbook goes to Hero. The new ones are the 25 piece youth project supporting the International Child Art Foundation, the 50 piece digital art supporting the Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education and the Moleskine book supporting t… Continue

Notes on the restart.

So I saw this over on CBR and it made me simultaneously want to give up and keep going on the 100AP. In all honesty, I've got nothing else taking up my time, and this is at least worth while. Here are some things needing to be done for the project to keep moving. * Parental Waiver - In order for me to technically accept artwork from artists under 18, I need to create and publish a form that said artists will have to get the… Continue

Hey, remember this?

Greetings contributors, participants, onlookers. I bet you're wondering what happened to this place? Where's the verve, the happy-haps, the je ne said qoui that used to permeate the very cables you use to connect to the internets when you'd read this page? Is the project done? Did you give it up? To be honest, almost. It's been about 15 months since it started, that's a long time for anything. I think I'm a bit burned out, truth be told. But that doesn't mean I've given up on it. It's just go… Continue

IMPORTANT! Orphan Works Act of2008

Skirting the line with politics here, but I felt this was important since we're all practicing artists on many levels and this impacts all of us. http://drawn.ca/2008/05/13/oppose-the-orphan-works-act-of-2008 Quote: Currently, copyright is granted the moment a work is created. This new Orphan Works legislation proposes a change in U.S. copyright that would (indirectly) require artists, illustrators, photographers, and… Continue

IP Orders Part II

Since yesterday the number of orders has jumped from 6 to 22, so it's likely those who ordered so long ago should be getting your copies soon. I haven't officially heard from IP about this, just a guess. Again, I'm sorry for the delay. I don't believe I'll use them again if it takes more than a month to deliver anything. Continue

Big Sketchbook

I haven't updated the map in a while. I've been hung up a bit on the first volume getting done. Rest assured the sketchbook is still moving along pretty well. I just got word today it's ready to move on to it's 30th recipient. I figured it take this long and so far we're pretty much on track. The biggest issue I'm running into is people who go involved early are no longer responding to emails and I really have no good way to get in touch with them to see if they still want to participate. What… Continue

Gordon Lee Case Dismissed

If you aren't already aware, one of the organizations the 100AP supports (CBLDF.org) has been in involved in a protracted legal battle with the state of Georgia vs. Mr. Gordon Lee for distributing adult content to a minor. After several years, the case was dismissed. You can see the posting about it on Newsarama. With a price tag of $100,000 dollars, this is the biggest case the CBLDF has fought. It'd be a great time now to help… Continue

Orders from Indy Planet

It's come to my attention that orders from Indy Planet are taking a long time to be processed, printed and shipped. A couple have ordered the day I announced it was for sale and have yet to receive it. If you are having problems with your order and can't get a reply from Ka-Blam/Indy Planet, please let me know and either post or email me your order number and I'll try to find out what the status of the orders is. Sorry for the inconvenience on this. Again, it's a growing pain and I'll have to… Continue

Photos are back.

I just added about 450 photos, it was all my artwork from my Flickr stream. Don't worry, I plan on trimming it back. I wanted to see if it could be done. The good news, then, is the photo addition functionality is back. Enjoy. I don't know what the limits are, but if you have any problems with it let me know. Continue

Ning Changes

Apparently the module addition is fixed, but I'm unable to add any photos/artwork. Gives me the Yikes! something's messed up message. If you're experiencing the same thing, please let me know. I have a trouble ticket in to check it out.

Ning did a global update for all existing themes last week. I"m not sure I like it much. The main page is very muddy now and things are hard to make out. I'll be working on breaking them up bette… Continue

Print Status

The status of the 100AP vol. 1 book is that Ka-Blam is verifying the files I've sent and I'll be sent an invoice soon and then printing will start. Ka-Blam just posted about how a change in pricing structure had an unintended result and a lot of books were pushed back. This being the start of convention season, the orders are high but they're not at full capacity yet. I'm still counting on the book being available by the end of this month. As… Continue
