Pretty soon you'll have a chance to win this preliminary drawing that I made for the painting of the same name see my post of the portrait of Edgar. I'll be running a series of Flash Fiction Challenges/Contests where if you write a short story (one thousand words or less) based on the portrait. You get to win the drawing. I'll also be publishing the images and the stories in a book and some catalogs.
Stay tuned!
The show is called: Renovated Reputations: Paintings and Fiction inspired by Vintage Portrait Photographs
The exhibit will include a series of 20-40 paintings and mixed media works ranging in size from 8”x10” to 18”x24” framed with thrift store and vintage frames. In addition to the exhibited works ArtHaus is publishing catalogs signed by me and as many of the authors as possible. Catalogs/books will consist of image of the painting with the text of the “flash story” surrounding the image. If I can get the authors to come to a book signing/party, authors would sign their pages for some of the printed stuff.
We're going to have a photobooth for the show for participants to play with and vintage costumes.
Of course I'll send the authors free copies of the catalogs.
I will announce the winners the day after the closing deadline for the competition. I'm planning on doing one flash fiction competition a week every Monday from now until April. You can preview the works I have so far completed here:
