Hello Fellow Castro Fans!

My name is Aspiring aka "Aspy" and I am working on gathering art for a CASTRO FANS COMMUNITY WIDE ART PROJECT for charity!

Here is the info if you'd like to get involved that would be most awesome!

...

CALL TO ALL ARTISTS, WANNA BE ARTISTS, HOBBY ARTISTS, FAKE ARTISTS, CRAFTERS, COPIANS, Castrocopians, JCM'ers, JGG's, Camarillas and DH's:

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!

Please send me your 4" x 4" or 4" x 8" drawing, painting, collage or other paper media on Paper!

(No Photography please... This may be the next project though!).

SUBJECT: FLOWER(S)

(Everyone can draw a flower cant they?)

Draw, paint, scribble, doodle or collage your favorite flower. Make it a line drawing, full color or 1 color! Paint or collage! Whatever you desire. (No Photography please, but photo transfers are acceptable.  You may print or digitally enhance your photo(s) and then trace, transfer, or embellish the transfers of these pics.)

I would like to combine all submissions and create a special art piece.

Everyone can send for the cost of a stamp! All submissions will fit into a standard size #10 envelope.

Specs: 4" x 4" or 4" x 8"
Mediums: ALL! on paper.

Please send your submissions by September OCTOBER 1st, 2009 to:

ASPY'S FLOWER MEDIA PROJECT
P.O. Box 30632
Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33420-0632

Also, if you've done your work in any media that may smudge in shipping and handling (ie: Pastels or Caran D'ache Crayon), please take the time to spray your work with a fixative, either a "Final Fixative" or a "Workable Fixative". If you have no clue what that is, grab some cheap hairspray (ie: Aquanet) and give it a light touch of spray. Let it dry for at least 24 hours prior to mailing.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. Please sign your work, either front or back
2. Please drop a note to say hello and tell me the mediums you used!
3. Please send as many as you'd like to contribute!

FUTURE PLAN: To be able to sell this piece (possibly via auction) and donate ALL proceeds to selected charities, possibly split to each forum's favorites, this way we all get to be involved in the selection process.

If you have more questions, please let me know!

You can contact me via Facebook at: http://profile.to/aspiring/

or twitter at: http://twitter.com/AspiringOne

I look forward to receiving all of your artwork! and...

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION!

    HAPPY MONDAY CASTROFANS!

    If any of you are still interested in the Castro Fans Community Art Project for Charity:

    PLEASE, I beg of you, PLEASE head over to our Facebook Group and become a member. Also, if you haven't already, PLEASE let us know what your charity of choice would be in our discussion tab about it so that a decision can be made by MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

    This will take you all about 5 minutes of your time. No effort is needed otherwise.

    If you would like to stay informed about the art auctions, and general shenanigans happening there, you can become a member and see it up on your feed, as well as receive some Facebook mail from me letting your know whats up.

    The more members we have, the more socially networked this project is.

    THANK YOU ALL WHO HAVE AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT!
