Remember that best friend you had for a semester? Your first crush? The person you had a d&m with and never saw again? This brief is dedicated to someone in your past that you've never quite forgotten. Maybe you knew them for a fleeting moment, or maybe something more- let them be your muse, your starting point, your subject. 

As always, submissions are based on the interpretation of the above, in any medium you like. E-mail your works to: sparkapolooza at gmail dot com or upload to Facebook / Twitter / Instagram and tag us with #sparkapolooza

Happy making!

Welcome to Sparkapolooza 2012! To kick off our first brief we invite you to get out of your comfort zone and go beyond the square (literally but hopefully conceptual!).  Our 2 week deadline returns and we now have an About page which we strongly encourage you to read. Need some extra reminding about looming deadlines and new briefs? Keep in touch via Facebook & Twitter. Happy creating!

My unique artwork never to be produced again. Created in comic sans, Instagrammed, published twice, then destroyed. Forever. Is the internet forever? Is Instagramming art? Does being published make me an artist yet?
