• Get one of those golf umbrellas - black and white photo! - make sure to get water on outside of umbrella and dripping off. From in the rain a girl looking into camera, soaked & no rain coat, looking hopefully, sweetly, sexy \'wanna share your umbrella\' like look.

• I think a great poem could be about someone standing in a field during a storm, about to be struck by lightning. Then the poem returns to when the person woke up, and goes through the things that happened that day to bring them where they were about to be struck in the field.

• Another semi-satirical piece:
A photo manip or painting perhaps of someone with a head badaged on the side. they are holding an ear and painting that same ear, with pictures of Van Gogh\'s hanging just behind. maybe a related title about Van Gogh would work well, too.

• A photo-manip of a person sitting at a desk, papers in front, with their pen stabbed through their hand- entitled \"Writer\'s Cramp\". general exploits on such phrases always make me laugh

thegrayman
• Idea, for a fantasy novel or something like: One night, the sky inverted. The night is utterly white, blindig, with black stars and a dark moon. The night after, the sky is right again. What appened?

• Their society is ruled by a class of priests, that worships the Sea in it\'s two forms: the male form, that simbolize the violent aspect of nature, the storms, the wind, the fire; and the female form, the motherly aspect of nature, birth, creation....

• The two aspects are prayed without words, the prayers mere music and sounds. The male party is the chaos in music, the creativity, the improvisation. The female part is rithm, the order that lies underneath melody.

• Male and female priest are wed, and works toghether as part of a whole. The Initiation ritual brings them sterility by magical means, so no son or daughter of a priest is ever born.

• Prophecy/legends says that one daughter of the priests will be born. This event, actually impossoble, breaks the rules of magic and thus realt, but will appen nevertheless. She\' prophetized to bring chaos and destrucion, unwillingy.

• Slippers. For anyone who\'s bored, making up different types of slippers might be fun, practical or no. Comfy, weird, impossible...slippers are fun.

• (Photograph) Try to capture all four elements with your camera, and then put them all together in some sort of collage. Make sure they are colourful!

• (Freehand) This will require much time, but anyways.. Have a image of the earth. Under that, draw a continent. Again, under that, draw a country in that continent. Keep zooming in until you have a person looking up the sky. Probably up to your time, how many \'zooms\' you want.. :) (Smile)

• (Photo Manip) Take a old classphoto on boys about 9-10 years old. Manipulate them so that they look like machines. Imagine 25 machines with a grown-up femalemachine with a little satine to make it look old, and they\'re all nicely lined up looking in the camera. That would rock.

cuttsy
• Shyness: Small timid man/woman fighting their way out of a birds egg (coming out of thier shell).

• Gambling: Man sat head in arms hunched over everything around him is blured and desaturated but you can still make out that it is a bookies or maybe the stock market.

• Contrast: A window with a view of a waterfall or lake but the curtains are on fire.

• Breakup: A smashed picture fram with blood on it from a cut finger that has pooled at the bottom in which is a ghost like image of a face of the person in photo.

• Ignorence: Someones face with just a mouth, they dont see or listen they just talk s***.

candle-girl
• Photo of boy crying black tears. no, not mascara running, the tears are black. he has hair that\'s short in the back with bangs hanging just past his nose. he is looking off into the left corner of the photo.

• Draw an image within an image. Example: a person in a flower that if you looked at it, at first glance it would look like a flower but upon further inspection there is a tiny face, and arms and the rest to make up the flower.

• Have you ever looked at the sky upside down and wondered what it would be like if the clouds were the ground and the cracks of sky in between were a river? Well I was going to develop this further but I’ll move on.

• At the bottom of the ocean the are wide open plains. In some places scientists have found strange formations there. Such as what appears to be an underwater lake. It’s actually a thin layer of, um, I forgot. Let’s call it a thin layer of worm crap floating in the water. It all settled into an shallow depression which is surrounded by a huge field of red tube worms. The end.

• Abstract worlds are such fun. Imagine a river that’s flowing through open black space. Now Imagine that river has multiple layers with each layer being as separate as though they were separated with thin glass panels. What if each river was a different color? What if each one had followed a different course in evolution with a different type of creature in each one? What would they look like? How would they react if, suddenly, they could see the other layers? Would their tiny minds discard it as uninterruptible information, or would their minds snap in shock and confusion? Suppose for another moment that we ourselves are living on one of those layers. What would happen to us if suddenly a new river were visible above or below?

• Try freezing a match in a block of ice and taking a photograph of it. Get a clear plastic container of some sort and fill it half way with water. Put it in the freezer long enough to form a layer of ice thick enough for the next step. Place a match (or any other object) on top of that ice and fill the container the rest of the way with water. Put it back in the freezer and let it freeze over. Don’t leave it in too long since it will become increasingly cloudy and opaque. Take the photo at a macro setting in a dark room with just one to four well placed light sources. Try to get as clear of a picture of the match (or other object) as you can, otherwise people will just see it as a mistake. You may need another person help you with things like holding the lights.

• Have you ever wondered when or how those dollar bills you have where designed or who made them? Well I can’t remember who did, but there is a guy that designs his own money as artwork. It’s incredibly detailed and he uses all kinds of themes and colors. Don’t do any of those cheesy “I’m going to scan a dollar a stick my ugly face on it” things. Really try designing your own money, either a bill or a coin, and be original with it. Consider things like large goldfish swimming through the bill toward the viewer or an Egyptian theme. There could be a pyramid and hieroglyphics running up and down the sides. You might try a Roman theme with Roman numerals.

darkless
• One usless ideia: A lady cat and a dog, embraced, sleeping in an alley, full of trash and dirt, each one clutching a bottle. They are both obviously drunk. They have an expression of both endearment for each other and sorrow for the pain that others inflicted on them for being different.

This could be a painting, drawing or even photograph. Most of all, it should be emotional.

crowolf
• A chain of events: Photographers, find abandoned buildings and take pictures. Writers, write a story about the building and what it could have been. Digital artists, create scenes based on that story.

• Everyone knows the potato man. Make a potato man with the weirdest things you can find.

mindbender
• Well, most people when they make such pictures draw \"Scary\" images of people burning and what not. I\'m looking for a more abstract view of hell. Using dark colors, shapes shadows that show the emotions one can imagine but never fully comprehend. A mix between 3d objects and Photoshop editing, to give that overall dark and hopelessness that is hell. One thing would to put some image everyone can identify as hell, but hid it in the image somewhere.

• Recursive, ever repeating. A picture showing the artist or alter ego drawing a picture showing him or herself drawing the same thing, on and on and on. Like when you look at a mirror with a mirror right in front of it.
