But as Johnnynorms has bagged the original genie. I'm renaming this one and we'll see where they both go.

Fronds 2



Original was by Johnny Norms. Current form after zinkibaru has added to it. The stage uploaded on zinkibaru's blog had unintentional pink lines which I (=Caroline) have removed.

Thank you zinkibaru!

Trapeze


I notice that Caroline uses flickr, and I use Picasa/Hello - both are fine I should think. This is my favourite of the three - I think I'm warming to the task.

Road and river


Title is a working title, as they probably all are. If anyone along the process gets inspired, they could suggest a new title.

Fronds


Here are three quick doodles from me for starters (me = johnnynorms).

I won't be offended if any are non-inspirers and don't get taken up. That's another aspect to consider of the logistics of this blog. Some things will get taken up, and others will lie neglected - maybe for ever! Blog members should spot lonely drawings from time to time, and post them to the top of the pile "Any takers?" by changing the post date.

Chimney Face

This is another of Caroline's starting points, and next above is my first addition to it.

Proposed rules: Well, I don't think there should be many rules.

1 I think there should be a good leeway for freedom of expression, but those running the blog have final veto of anything that seems purposefully offensive, obnoxious or obstructive. You know the sort of thing I mean!

2 Each collaboration should perhaps have a running list underneath of the people that have added to it, starting obviously with the originator.

3 Not sure about this one, but I think if you intend to work on any doodle, you should try to pick up the latest version of it. Otherwise there will be too many myriad versions knocking around. I think it will be more interesting to have focused cumulations. ?

4 As Caroline says, if a person wants to contribute they can leave a comment with location of picture version, or new picture. I guess blog membership shouldn't be too large, otherwise complete bedlam, but on the other hand, with more people running it, more will happen more often! Maybe just see how it goes, how popular it is and so on. Thoughts Caroline?

5 Editors of the blog can decide when a doodle has done the rounds enough, and call it closed. Best stages of all these exchanges could then be plucked from the archives and put in best of archives. Something to consider a bit later on - I want to put my own house in order (Elbowroom blog) before I get entangled in that!

6 What about the camel logo? Did you have some idea of using that Caroline? Or we could just integrate with the blog title.

You can get a bigger version of it by clicking on the picture and at flickr clicking on All Sizes.

We haven't got any rules yet.

To begin with we need more doodles to play with and for people to start playing with some of the ones already here.

If you haven't joined this blog to begin with you can still join in by posting a comment that says where to find your contributions (to be played with) and your versions of ones that you have altered. And someone who is a group member can then post them here.

And if Johnny Norms wants to he can make some rules!

The Camel Exchange is open!



Doodle history: Johnnynorms, Caroline

The camel above was initiated by Johnnynorms of Elbowroom, and continued by Caroline of Caro's Lines - and it heralds the commencement of this blog. It's a place for art to mutate in the hands of more than one artist. Someone posts a doodle, another picks it up and adds something to it, or transforms it. At the moment this is the province of us two arty people, but we would love to welcome on board other kindred spirits who are prepared to share some work and see it transformed beyond their control!

The idea for this camel collaborative came from Caroline, who quotes the following from Bruce Mau's
Incomplete Manifesto for Growth.
Collaborate. The space between people working together is filled with conflict, friction, strife, exhilaration, delight, and vast creative potential.
