Settled: theme #2 deleted
---------------------------
Hey guys, I'm starting to think we should leave the earthquake material out of the book. Granted, this is a project that was meant to raise funds for donation, but several people on deviantart and pixiv have expressed negative feelings toward earthquake art.
While I think the art for the earthquake is well intended, the criticizers do have a point. Some people will take it that the artists are simply using the earthquake as a means of inspiration. Seen from that perspective, I do agree that earthquake art may not be the best thing to post up right now.
So I'm wondering if we should remove theme #2, and have the artbook be just about what we love about japan? As in, let this artbook have no relevance to the earthquake in anyway (or any super happy/energetic looking things).
What do you think?

Name Suggestions?
Hi guys!
As you can see, the name of the blog is this very general "Japan Art Project". Right now, there hasn't been a name decided for it yet. Any name suggestions? The name that's used will also be the title of the charity art book.

Information for artists
We've decided on the dimensions being 8.5" x 11"
Please draw your illustrations in that size, 300 dpi (or more)
Your art can be about:
what you find most beautiful/love the most about japan(people, places, culture, scenery, holiday, etc, excluding anime/manga)
there will be a bleed on the sides for sure, so try not to put anything important on the edges.
Tentative deadline for submissions: June 1st
(if for any reason you cannot make the deadline, please send us an email ASAP! )
Please submit a work in progress of your work by May 15th(we want how you're doing, though it'd be nice to see WIP throughout as well. Feel free to post your progress on this blog, sketches, coloured, whatever Let's make it a learning experience too!)
Please email us about the content you have planned for your picture, that way we can avoid repeats if it happens! A lot of us here are probably sakura lovers.
Also let us know if you're thinking about doing a 1-2pg spread.
