New Digital Challenge Group Forming!
Over on the Creative Soul  ning group, I have started a new group for a different type of creative  digital artwork.  Have you ever read a story and could visualize art  that would go with the descriptive words you were reading?  I recently  read "The Hunger Games" and I found myself marking the "Quotes" or  passages in the book for future reference.  I'm sure I can blame a  friend of mine, Tanya for starting the seed of inspiration growing in  the back of my mind and so when the opportunity showed itself, I quickly  became excited about the prospects.  Then, recently over at DigitalWhisper  Deviantart group, Kimmie posed a challenge based on song lyrics by  Sting, this month.  (This is the art I created from her prompt).   Finally, everything meshed and I totally enjoyed the creative aspects of  this challenge and thought it would be a wonderful way to get others  inspired as well.  Each week, a new "Quote" or passage from whatever  book we have chosen to read, will be added to the groups discussion and  everyone is free to interpret the quote to create their own artwork.   Book titles will be added to the list as we get more members signing  up.  The first prompt will be posted this Friday, March 18th and it will  be from the "Hunger Games"-written by: Suzanne Collins.  If you haven't  read the book, that's OK, the quote will be all the prompt you need,  but this is an interesting book.  Set in the future with limited  resources, mankind will do whatever it takes to feed their families.   (Even send their young into a fight to the death, so they possible could  win, food to survive another year.)
