Illustration project



We have a new illustration project under way. Liz Cummings, who's the most artsy of the Diy Womp group, has set up a fun collaboration project for everyone to get involved in.

The idea is to get 26 illustrators to go to town on a letter of the alphabet each and create something lovely to be put together in a newspaper format.

The Illustrations must be black and white and a minimum of 200mm x 200mm at 300dpi. They can be computer generated or hand drawn but unfortunately no photography (sorry photographers!).

If you are interested in taking part please message me on here or email me on liz_cummings@live.com, Liz will then allocate a letter of the alphabet to you which you can send back to her once completed.

Each letter may be given to more than one illustrator so it may not be possible to include all illustrations submitted, and hurry because we're getting lots of entries now. woo!

Where we go with this is yet to be seen, but maybe I will take some copies and put them up around New York when I move there next month. Together we can conquer London and New York, at least in a small illustration/print form.

Here are some pieces found on the interweb that I quite like...

Diy Womp website


The Diy Womp website has been a subject of much discussion within the Womp camp, after all a website is a very important part of any group. We tried our hand at our own page with our basic html skills, we tried sticking to facebook, and we tried myspace (years ago). The thing was that none of those really did the job for us. We wanted a space that was for people like us to share pics, vids, etc of their work. So we settled with a ning page. Ning, for those that don't know, is a platform to create your own social network.

So far we have just under 200 people on there. It's pretty, and it's useful. What else do you need?
Well, other than more creative people on there sharing work, nothing. It's all about the quality and not the quantity though, and we have some serious quality on the website.

Here are some of the great creative people that are members of the website. Check them out, they're mightily impressive. Then sign up to www.diy-womp.com and create you're own page.

Thanks for reading.

Diy Womp.
