This will be the first example of my work here as it is the newest so far. Makes sense. Seems like a good place to start. So this whole idea of painting an image of each person on my facebook friends list came to me last Saturday while finishing up paintings of The Masquerade Band that had been playing a show earlier in the week at the newly opened Club 504 in Downtown Des Moines's East Village. At first it felt like an impossible idea, and it may be, only time will tell.
Now I feel as if I should give some clarity to this concept. For instance at the current moment I have somewhere in the upper 750's on this friends list. To some that may seem frivolous and unnecessary and to others, that may just be a start. In the original facebook post announcing the launch and request for images, I stated that I would like to have these all done By July 2011. Which is less that six month from now, That's almost four a day. I do have to admit that I don't know some of them but never the less thought it would be an extra insight into those in which I have been personally invited into their privately public lives. Part of the stipulation is that I have to limit it to those who are that list as of today.
More about my proses later...
The Masquerade hails from Des Moines, Iowa.
