The Midpoint Show and a Round-Up
For all the artists/writers/creatives who began playing the Portfolio Project game with us at the beginning of the year, we're almost to the midpoint of our 12-week game in which we create a focused burst of new work. It was so encouraging for me to show Jen the progress I made when I saw her over the weekend that I've decided to create a Midpoint Gallery Show here on this site, so you can assess for yourself what you've accomplished so far and have an opportunity to share your new work with this creative community.
This will be a little experiment with a larger gallery idea I'd like to do at the Portfolio Project's end. So line up your creations side by side or however they come together. Pick your favorite piece so far, or grab a camera and take a pic of all of them together. Shoot or scan your favorite, and send it my way (jen at jenlee dot net). Include a link to your own site, if you have one, and you're welcome to send a sentence or two about what your breakdown or breakthrough has been so far (they are one and the same thing, if you haven't yet noticed).
I will be so honored to show and celebrate your work with you. Who's in? In the meantime, here's a little round-up below of some of my Portfolio Project pieces I've shared along the way, including a few that have appeared on other sites. (You may notice I started playing this game as soon as we came up with the idea, a couple days before I got it posted here for all of you.) I also have my Diana F+ pictures, which are also part of my Portfolio Project, on my Flickr site. There--I went first. Now it's you're turn: share the goods!
