Building this new social network has been consuming what little time I don’t have, but almost every second has been enthusiastic. Amidst the flurry of activity that is now ensuing I am dedicating the next minutes to a post on collaboration. The type of collaboration I’m talking about is not necessarily active, but more along the line of sharing ideas. Many people think it is best to lock up their ideas in the fear that someone will “take” them and gain from it. This ridiculous because no one will gain anything from an idea in a box. For me at least I have a huge surplus of ideas that I would love to give away, I get sick when I think about hiding them from other people.
Two summers ago I began making my Parallax Print Series. After making some posts in the art forum at 40konline I got a response from a fellow gamer over in Australia told me my work was inspiring to him and wanted to know more about how it was made. I told him my entire process. This is 3 of the 20 he produced. I was quite shocked. In my opinion he did way better with this process than I have done yet. Enjoy Derikari’s work.

I can’t for the life of me start my school projects whilst this network isn’t up. *sigh*

Since last night I have been in a frenzy. I enjoy surges of energy like this because it means the creative juices are flowing freely. And we all like free flowing creative juices, most of us anyways.
I’m attempting to build a social networking site centered around the Milwaukee area. This is something that I have large aspirations for, but realistically have no skills for. Teaching myself how to build websites (albeit not very well) is quite a bit different than constructing an entire social network (even with Dolphin 6.1). However, I am a stubborn mother fucker to say the least and this site will be built.
The central goal of the site is to create strong connections between artists and encourage creative collaboration. I am envisioning all sorts of supportive elements like personal profiles, uploading and downloading functions, a forum, a rating system, flash, articles, news updates, art critiques, and the list goes on. To keep with the concept of collaboration (and the fact that one person with my knowledge (or lack therof) can’t do this solo) I want to invite others to help out with the project from all backgrounds. Graphic designers, web developers, programmers, photographers, musicians, etc. Built by collaboration to fuel collaboration.
Enough day dreaming, web logistical shit needs to be taken care of. Expect lots of updates.
