Well, I'm making it public so therefore I'm committed.  I got this idea from an artsy friend of mine, Julie Fillo. She committed herself to painting a different painting every week for 52 weeks.  So this is my spin on it. 

Every week for 52 weeks, I'm going to be painting a different painting. I will be making 12 prints of that painting and listing them on Etsy. For the first couple days the prints will be available for a low price (I'll determine that by the end of next week but I'm talking a low price) then after that the price will go up. Also someone will win a free print every week as well. Either I will ask for ideas every week and who ever submits the winning idea (pulled from a hat, or cup or shoe or whatever vessel I have available to me at that moment) will be the winning recipient of the print. Or some weeks I might just paint my own thing and just tell you to post a comment on my blog to be entered in the contest.  I have artistic license to use your idea however I choose. I just ask that it not be a really horrific idea. I have no interest in painting someone being stabbed or having an arm cut off. But even if it's a Zombie, I get to put my own spin on it. And if it's too gross, and I draw your name, we'll figure something out.

Today is October 30, 2009. I'm asking for ideas from now till Sunday evening. On Monday I'll draw a name and start the new painting and that will be painting number 1. I will hopefully have the new painting posted by Friday and will post the winner too.  And the cycle will continue. 

I didn't flush these ideas out too long so there could be some changes along the way depending on how I see my schedule evolving. This should be the basics though.  I'll be picking ideas from Facebook and from messages left here. So let the ideas begin.
