I've been brain storming about this idea for months on end. The idea came to me probably sometime in the dead of winter working away in my office. I was looking for a easier way to connect to the artistic like minded in my area. Those who would be interested in creatively collaborating in one way or another. I talked it up with some of my creatively sick friends and the idea sparked much interest, but little means to how to get it started. I wrote a manifesto of sorts, created a logo, then taped it to my tack board. I've probably glanced at it for another quick read a million times, but nothing but wishful thinking and that deep burning desire to get it off the ground and started. Months later my old friend Albert came along and I shared it with him. He has had success in something similar and so he saw the possibilities. He convinced me to start a blog, talk it up and so here I am spilling my ideas out. Read it and let me know what you think.
