Be as detailed or vague as you want in your description. You could ask for a drawing of your dog, a painting of your daughter, a weird abstract sculpture made out of bananas and mustard, or just say "make me something." Any project will be considered.

This is an online, interactive art project. The purpose is to involve the viewer in the art-making process. It combines reality TV, internet chat rooms, how-to painting shows, and performance art. We live in a world of instantaneous, cross-continental communication. The internet is an amazing tool for collaborative art making. In this project, you not only get to commission the work, but watch as it is made and give input about the results.
