DAY 22

Paradise Lost isn't just some crazy long poem about Adam's fall by Milton. It's a beautiful trope in almost every artistic and narrative form ever. Man falls. That's what happens. Because man isn't perfect. Chaucer had a whole tale full of tragic figures who fell from great heights and even plays about normal man falling (Death of a salesman) have prevailed the test of time.

We're asking for a story from you today. Not necessarily a written story. But in your creation today, be it a painting or typography or a photo or song or a story or what the hell ever, maybe show us someone's fall, a paradise lost.,

DAY 21

Our prompt for today is loneliness.

Artists have always seemed to have a special relationship with loneliness. And maybe it's not that more artists are lonely than non-artists but that artists simply express it more often.

Artists (like most humans) tend to gravitate toward communities as well. And, oddly enough, some of our artists who seemed the loneliest were surrounded by peers. I think we tend to get so wrapped up in ourselves we forget we're not actually alone sometimes. Well, I know I do at least.

Let's explore loneliness today and be honest about it without being completely bogged down by it. We might be virtual, but we have a small online community here at least. And the nice thing is we can be a nudist community without anyone ever getting awkward.

DAY 18

Ten more days to go, everyone! AHHHH. How's everyone doing?

Today's prompt is spectral. Just like the monsters under our beds, this one can carry different meanings. Maybe your piece deals with an actual specter or ghost, or maybe it considers the things that haunt people every day. Or maybe it's something we haven't even considered!

Have fun!

Day 17

Hey guys, this is going to be short today.

Today's prompt is "white out". This could refer to anything you can think of: physical white out used on office paper, so much snow that you can't see what's in front of you. Forgetting something so all it leaves is a blank memory. Explore how this can expand into other aspects of daily life.

DAY 16

Today's topic is "the monsters under your bed".

Now maybe there are literal monsters under your bed. And if so, you should get on that. Like call Ghost Busters or something because we will literally be no help to you at all. You are allowed to cry to us in fear about the monster under your bed. We're just saying we might cry back.

Or maybe the monsters you create about are more...metaphorical. Maybe they are simply the things that keep you up at night. The things you run over in your heard. Over and over. Or the things that give you those terrible realistic nightmares about exes and friends and family. Whatever you think is monsterlyesqueish.

Good luck and immense love to all of you.
