Following the success of Creative for a Second (www.creativeforasecond.com), Melbourne artist and designer I & The Others (a.k.a. Kirrily Anderson) has just launched her next CFS/ME project, Creative for a Second or Two.

Inspired by the 1000 Journals Project, Kirrily is organising to send blank journals around the world to people with ME/CFS/CFIDS for them to fill up with anything they like - artwork, thoughts, photos, found objects, deep dark secrets!

Each person will have a journal for two weeks and then post it on to the next person on the list (there will be a mailing list in the back of each journal).

Should a contributor not be well enough to contribute anything within the two weeks they can add their name to the bottom of the list so the journal can come back to them, but it must keep moving. (The project is about expressing - not making a work of art necessarily, so even during the time of a crash, some frustration may be expressed in some way on the pages!)

There will be photo updates on the Creative For A Second Facebook group (feel free to join - just search for Creative For A Second under the groups section) Contributors can scan or photograph the journal while they have it - even make a movie, and upload it to the group so everyone can see how the journals are progressing!

After 12 months or so of circulating all the journals will be returned to Kirrily and she will take them apart and have all the pages on display as part of an exhibition, starting on Awareness Day (May 12). With finances permitting a book will also be published.

This is a project for anyone and everyone with this debilitating illness - not just "artists" - we all have creative bones within us! For more information, or to register your interest (just send an email with your postal address), email Kirrily directly at creativeforasecond@gmail.com

Following the success of Creative for a Second (www.creativeforasecond.com), I have just launched my next CFS/ME project, Creative for a Second or Two.  

Inspired by the 1000 Journals Project (www.1000journals.com) co-ordinated by Someguy in San Francisco, I have decided to send out blank journals around the world to people with ME/CFS for them to fill up with anything they like - artwork, thoughts, photos, found objects. The journals will circulate for 12 months or so (or until full!) and then I will organise and exhibition and a publication hopefully in time for Awareness Day 2011 (May 12).

This is a project for anyone and everyone with this debilitating illness - not just the so-called artists - we all have creative bones within us!  For more information, or to register your interest, email me directly at creativeforasecond@gmail.com

So I've been pretty busy lately, multi tasking like a mo fo!

There was the new website www.iandtheothers.com/ and then organising the Creative For A Second Art Tour www.cfsart.org/ and I have my work in the latest issue of Blanket www.blanketmagazine.com/ awesome magazine, highly recommend the investment! And then I did a little illustration for the beautiful little project www.do-or-die.ru/mishkina1.htm… I've also contributed to a magazine called Propaganda www.propagandalarevista.com/ I think my work will be up soonish. At the end of May I packed up my exhibition, which did pretty well, someone even wrote a blog about it! jacobsandwalker.blogspot.com/2…

...and

... I've been getting organised to go overseas on Monday - eek! I'm flying out of this miserable cold weather and into the sunny days of San Francisco! Yay! My plan is to be in the states for at least 3 months, so if anyone has some local knowledge about cool things happening in SF, NYC, Portland (those are the confirmed destinations so far!) then let me know!

I'm looking forward to slowing down a bit and taking lots of photos and sketching and working on stuff for my next series of work. So things will be a bit quiet here for me on dA, but hopefully I will have lots of interesting things to upload when I get back... whenever that may be!

I'm having a big post-exhibition, pre-traveling sale!

Images with prices can be viewed here viewmorepics.myspace.com/index…

I'm heading to the states to do some traveling in 2 weeks and need to clean out my studio, also need the cash! Works are heavily discounted, so if you see something you like send me a message or email me kirrily@iandtheothers.com, but do it quick as I'm leaving on June 15. I'm happy to ship internationally and transact through PayPal.

Cheers,

Kirrily
