"When all falls apart, make art!" is a favorite Jason Brock proclamation that inspires me. I suggest we all try it--write a poem or song, draw or paint, photograph or design--something about the present state of affairs. The more creative, the better. It is time for an innovative Renaissance!!!! As a musician, I've been given the opportunity with the FREEDOM TO SHARE project at ccMixter. So far I've recorded three pieces--other artists at ccMixer are writing some really creative stuff. I think we may all end up putting a Digital-LP together and would love to work with some of you on visual representations of the songs we're writing about art

- we at ccMixter would like to pair visual art with our collective musical creation, 'Peace of Winter' by Snowflake & ccMixter. (i'm snowflake!) -album release date 11/24, benefits Free Tibet in UK (at least 50% of proceeds) -listen here: http://ccmixter.org/playlist/browse/5837 - we're looking for 14-16 Deviations to include in the Digital-LP's artbook:     ~ Album Cover     ~ Visualization for each song (13 tracks)     ~ Thank you page     ~ Song List page What do YOU get? - First. The opportunity to participate in the pioneering connection between two Creative Commons focused communities - one musical and one visual. ~ Second

i've been a big fan of Deviant Art since meeting Angelo in 2005 and supporting the BT tour. i had a friend suggest i use the flickr API for images to use for my upcoming album release with ccMixter. i have this vision of featuring a Deviation to create a visual impression to go along with each song. the proceeds of the album go to Free Tibet and it is the first compilation album released via ccMixter. the musicians are searching around to find the perfect Deviation for their song. what is the best way to get permission from a Deviant for such a project?  you can hear a unmastered preview of the tracks on the album here http://ccmixter.org/pla
