I’m looking for artists to participate in my 2010 “Haunted Rooms” virtual haunted house project!
Signup info’s here, but here’s a quick look at what you can expect:
“The Project is about giving our viewers the complete and utter screamin’ heebie-jeebies through the image of an empty, albeit intriguing, environment.”
There’s no fee to enter, no winners or losers, just a chance to improve your environment-drawing skills and share them with the world! After the contest, you can do whatever you want with your entry.
Happy Haunting!
PS If you like the idea but can’t participate, it’d be helpful to me if you’d please spread the word to others who might be interested! Thanks!
