You are invited to contribute a self portrait to 'imagining ourselves'.

It should be a still image made originally without the direct use of digital/photographic methods and materials

(acceptable = ink, pencil, charcoal, paint, bathroom tiles;  not acceptable = computer, photograph &c. No problem, of course, with digital or photographic sources)

It should then be photographed or scanned (aim for a nice size - 1000 X 750 pixels or larger - I can always cut it down) and e mailed to

portraits[at]somedancersandmusicians[dot]com

Please also include your name and what it is you do (and how you interpret this is up to you!)
your city and country of residence and if you wish, a URL to which you would like me to link your name.

Technical skill is not key here, you do not need to be "good" at drawing/painting to submit, nor consider yourself an 'artist', professional or otherwise.

If you do happen to be a Picasso don't hold back, that's fine too.

Thank you - I really look forward to displaying your contribution.



Please note:

(1) I can't accept group contributions from schools &c. although there is absolutely no age limit on individual submissions

(2) Nominally, all artists, of course, retain copyright in their individual images. However, since all images are freely downloadable, in practice this is unenforceable. If this bothers you please don't submit.

(3) In the extremely unlikely event of this project generating any sort of income it will be ploughed back into maintaining and extending the project.
In this event also a financial summary will be available on request to any participating artist.

(4) Occasionally these portraits get shown offline in a gallery or other setting - if you do not wish your work to be included in this kind of event please indicate when you submit.
