I want words to be my art. I want to write words that drip off the page and waltz to an original hymn.
However, my art stops with words. So, I need a visual artist to create the cover of my forthcoming novel. I want someone from Tumblr to do it. My writing currently lives at Tumblr; the source of my confidence comes from Tumblr; and my identity as a writer blossomed on Tumblr. Therefore, this novel, along with the design, will be a product of Tumblr.
Draw something. Paint something. Sculpt something. Photograph something. Fucking Jackson Pollock something. I don’t care. Create something you think is fitting, beautiful, and cool.
Play jazz. Make it dance. If you want inspiration, read these excerpts or a draft of the first chapter.
Nothing inspires me more than other creative people. I want to live with them, eat with them, and ideate with them. So I’m sure you understand my unbridled excitement to collaborate with another artist. If you know someone who could be interested in this project, please forward him/her this post.
