Free to the First Five!
When running and art collide....
On last Saturday's run, Lisa had a fantastic idea on how to combine my two primary passions - running and art: create altered running art! I loved the idea, and as a way to get this started, I'm offering the first five people who jump on the chance a free altered running art piece. (If more than five people wave their hands in the comments section, I'll go with the first five photos I receive.)
You provide me with: a favorite photo of you running, the race bib (if applicable and if you are willing to give it up and let me play with it (which could mean tearing it to pieces and then reassembling it)), the colors you would prefer (if you want, otherwise you could let me choose), any other ephemera and/or memoriabilia associated with that picture (or running, or whatever you want) and any preferences on sizing the piece.
I'll provide you with: a one-of-a-kind piece of art incorporating everything you give me. I only ask that if you like it, you post a photo of it on your blog.
Any takers?

I would love to do this for my mom. She'll be running her 3rd marathon in Dec, Honolulu, and she says it'll be her last. if i'm not the 5th by Dec, please email me and I'll let me know the cost. I've seen your previous work and I love it, so I'm sure this will be great!

Yes, that Zane G sounds like a blast...challenging and that's where it's at for me! I'm sure I can juggle things around so I can get in on it too...oh and meet you in person!

50k at Zane Grey...hummm...I might have to think about that one. Very interesting.

Hmmm, I'm with Chad. How much tougher than a marathon could it be?

Awesome Angie! When I get to be a better runner, and have a picture I'd actually display...I'll do one! ;P
My friends from Reno (that I mentioned when we were running) are coming down for Zane Grey...so I'll definitely be there too! (not running, just spectating!)

Crap! I need to check my Bloglines more frequently. Very cool art idea - sorry I missed it.
Posted by: Donald | September 26, 2007 02:39 PM
Cool! I'm too late for the freebie but I will gladly pay you for one after my marathon. If it goes well. Not your art, my marathon.

I didn't expect to make the cut, but I do expect you to post the results so we can all be in awe. OK?
