A bunch of people have written in so far, as you can tell. All of these people, in my opinion, are excellent. A few people have written in not just asking for a number, but for more information. Hopefully this will address those questions. Firstly, all questions are welcome. I didn’t think this through properly, so its all kind of spur of the moment stuff. Questions need answers, which helps solidify the ideas and goals of the project.
The goal is to collect artworks from people like you. Your artwork can be anything. You can draw it, write it, paint it, etch-a-sketch it, crayon it, crop circle it, photograph it, do whatever you want. It can be any medium you like. You are in control of your artwork, not me. I have no guidelines. The only thing is, it has to prominently display the number I assign you. You get a number by emailing 
and you send your artwork back through the same email. It’s as simple as that.
How big does your picture need to be? Again, I’m not in control of that, you are. You make it whatever size you need to make your artwork whatever it is. However, that said, people who have submitted images so far have preferred sizes of 1024×768 or 800×600. You don’t have to stick to that, but if you want to be like them, then you can use those sizes for your image if you like.
So what’s the point of this whole thing? I haven’t addressed this clearly and I know it. I’ve said variously that its going to make a film in the end, all the sequential numbers in order. I’ve said its about the people behind the artworks and their stories. I’ve said its for my daughter. These are all true. The bit that I haven’t said is I’m scared. I do a lot for my kid and I know that none of it will matter. She won’t remember the things I do now, but they’ll build her as a person. I worry what will happen if, heaven forbid, I’m not there for that. Will she remember these times at all, me at all, anything that we’ve done if something should happen to me? I want her to have this project, whatever it turns out to be, to look back on and think that her old man was alright. That I’ve done something tangible she can actually have.
So there you go. That’s what it is. I went into philosophical territory again and didn’t mean to. I should try to stop doing that. But that’s what its about. You ask for a number, you get a number, you make it into an artwork and send it back. I take the artworks and compile them, sequentially into a film. If there are any questions I haven’t answered here, just ask in the comments.
