It is sleepy, sunny August in the middle of a global pandemic. Nothing much going on. Wait! What's this, the scurrying around, snapping photos, posting pictures? It's LMAC building its Image Library. The community is buzzing with creative activity as we all work toward a future together that will include our own internal art library. As the LMAC community grows, so too does the Hive community.
Pictures of every kind are welcome. But, please, no fuzzies. These images will be used by artists as they create new collages for our LMAC collage contest.
The images I post today are all from the family photo album or were taken recently precisely for the LMAC Image Library. Some of the images were extracted from backgrounds so artists could more easily use them. Not all of these pictures are exotic. Life, and art, are made often from mundane objects: Staplers. Toys. Signs. I hope some of these photos are useful.
I invite everyone in the Hive community to contribute to our library. The more photos we have, the richer will our art library be.
Everybody, please finish this summer in good health, and in good company. Thank you for reading my blog. Hive on!
