rejuvenating the ‘call of the creatives’

What Dewi came up with back in June and what became a popular project on Chalkboard has been re-opened now, in the hope of creating some more buzz, and squeeze creativity out of you. Art inspires. Every time. Paintings and photographs and every other thing ‘art’ brings the Muse out of us. And as some of you know, this project is all about ‘images’ (the broadest sense of word), and inspiration. What you see in something, what other might miss, what’s obvious and what everyone else is oblivious to.

Prompt me!

• Leaf through the gallery and choose the images that inspire you.
• You can write a one-lined poem, verse libre, or/and prose inspired from the image. Short captions/one liners can just be sent as a response to the image post.
• For longer, full fledged pieces, create a separate post and use the image in your post with the same attribution (just copy paste from the original attribution).
• Mention the image prompter by copying the line below and changing the <name> to prompter’s name so they get notified and can fathom the depth of your imagination —

This is a response to the Imagà Imaginings prompt by <name>.

<Link to original prompt post>

• One of the five tags must be ‘Imaga Imaginings.’ The rest are yours.
• Submit it to Chalkboard as a draft. (If you are not a writer yet, please respond to this post and we’ll add you up).

Prompting an Image!

• If you’d like to submit an image for us to use, please create a draft with the image, attributions in the caption as ‘Photo/Image by <image creator>’ linked to source if online. See how I credit the photo above for reference.
• Please make sure that the image is at least 900 pixels wide.
• Title it as “Image Prompt” and submit to Chalkboard.
• The editor will number the image-post to easily differentiate the images. We will put instructions on how to respond to the prompt and update it as new pieces come in that are inspired by the image.
• All images must be legal for us to use, no sending any editors to jail!
• Please keep the images Safe For Work! Staying clean.
• Post images which are inspiring. One glance, and viola! all you’ll need is a pen and paper or keypad.
• I’ll compile the images and post it as a gallery for everyone to get inspired.

We’ll keep this project open based on interest, but in general for this month. And that’s fin, you guys! Easy peasy, right. Now let’s get this colab buzzing.
