A year ago, MuseCubes started as a wacky and artful tool to help folks get more into their bodies. This summer & fall I’m launching the new-and-improved Cubes as well as three new products.
And I need some help. More specifically, I need art!
The Background
When I first created the MuseCubes, I cut sections of art images out of magazines and glued them onto wooden blocks.
Much as I loved recycling old magazines, there was concern that I wasn’t giving the artists credit for their oh-so-important contribution. And that didn’t feel right.
The Request
So, in preparation for the launch of the newest line of MuseCubes, I’m looking for artists who are enthusiastic about sharing a digital copy of their artwork for the MuseCube cause. Here’s what I’m looking for:
- A digital image in a .jpg or .png format, resolution: 300 dpi , image size: between 3 x 5 in – 8.5 x 11 in
- Lots of detail, texture and/or color
- Original can be any medium — paint, sculpture, photograph, architecture, fabric, etc. The more diverse, the better.
- I’ll review the first round of submissions by August 3rd (but feel free to send more after that date)
- Email submissions to themusemonkey [at] gmail [dot] com
Please note: the cubes are very small (1″ x 1″). If I use your piece, I will crop it such that a different section will appear on each of the 6 sides of the cubes. That’s why I’m asking for pieces with a fair amount of detail, color, and texture. You can view pictures of the actual cubes on the website. Here’s an example of what the newer template looks like:
In Return
I’m so grateful for your generosity in sharing a piece of your creative spirit with me. If I decide to use your artwork on the newest MuseCubes, here’s what I’m thrilled to provide in return:
- A link to your website featured on www.MuseCubes.com, and
- Two complimentary sets of the MuseCubes
A final note: a percentage of all profits of MuseCubes goes to support public education. My ultimate vision is to start a foundation that helps kids, families, and communities create bold and innovative solutions to helping kids create the education of their dreams. Your artwork contributes to this cause.
Please comment if you have any questions (the link is up under the heading of the post). Email works too. Again, that’s themusemonkey [at] gmail [dot] com.
Where is the art on this post from? Cool images!
Thanks for asking, Phil!! This is exactly my problem. Those three images were cut out of magazines early on in my MuseCube days, before I thought to save the artist/photographer info. The first and third ones are quilts, actually. And those cute little guys — I have no idea.
Your pieces, by the way, would be perfect for the cubes if I could make each one teeny tiny, and put one piece on each side of the cube. Thanks so much for sharing!
