Exquisite Corpse - Collaboration for Everyone!

Hey guys,

I’ve just opened up a collaboration over at the International Superheroes of Drawing, Illustration and World Domination (ISoDIaWD).

If you’ve heard of the Exquisite Corpse game then you’ll know what I’m talking about, if not I’ve tried to explain it over there. The idea is to have an ongoing collaboration than anyone can take part in. Basically you just choose whatever third you feel like drawing (or otherwise creating), grab the file and go nuts. Then as people send me their sections I’ll stitch them together in a first-come-first-served kind of way. There’s no way of knowing who you’ll be attached to, so you can’t predict what the final piece will look like.. which, after all, is the point of the Exquisite Corpse ;)

Anyway, I hope you’ll all head over there, grab the files, draw your guts out, send it to me and enjoy the results.

    This makes me think of those books you had as a kid,
    where the pages flipped between the different body parts.
    Somehow I think this may be similar but considerably more twisted.

    Yeah, those followed the same general principal.. I guess the difference is you can’t try to pick a head based on the body, it’s all much more random.

    Excellent idea!!!

    In December of this year I am taking part in the “Exquisite Garden” project which is a sculpture garden based on the idea of the exquisite corpse. The project is a part of Joe Brubaker’s art exhibit at the Bakersfield Museum of Art in California. I will be journaling about it later…

    Way to inspire Damien…
