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?
Hmm, I wasn't really thinking of actually having there being an earthquake, but yeah, I'd rather that people didn't really include images of an actual earthquake. But uh... make what you will of it?
ReplyDeleteI agree. Earthquake art seems a little... I don't know, not appropriate for the book?
ReplyDeleteagree with your point :)
ReplyDeleteyeah, i'm totally for this idea! just illustrating the things we love about japan, and what is so great about japan culture or just simply illustrating their culture would appeal more to many people. either way, it will raise the awareness for the project and the intent to help victims and reconstruction caused by the earthquake.
