Welcome to the first edition of The Art Gallery's MONTHLY CHALLENGES! To kick things off, I thought what would be better for the artists on Current.com than the creative endeavor of Eco-Art- get yer garbage out give it new life as an art piece!

Any style is good for this challenge, but please include details about how it relates to the theme. The winner will be announced at the end of the month and one awesome artist will get FREE SWAG from me! How can you put yourself in the running?

1. Join The Art Gallery group (http://current.com/groups/the-art-gallery/)

2. Go to the "add something" button.

3. Upload a picture of your ORIGINAL eco-art.

4. Submit it!

I will be the judge for this round (though I'm asking someone special to guest judge as well!) which means I'm (obviously) ineligible to get anything- but I'd love to have other community members volunteer as guest judges in the future as well as collabo with other groups- holler at me with your ideas!

I hope to see lots of awesome stuff! Get those creative juices flowing and bring me your eco-art!

    • I have alwys loved the old American Cubist works of Charles Sheeler, Charles Demuth, etc... the industrial landscapes and such...

      So, considering Energy, Green, Ecology and what not, are all so "hot topic" these days... I decided to give that whole old scene an update...

      I have visited several large nuculear, hydro, and coal burning stations in my day... whatever your feeling about energy, you have to admit, visually the things are impressive...

      This piece is rather tounge in cheeck... so, well the veiw in this ink drawing don't necessarily reflect Ahhaterry's views...

      I am hoping the technology on-line for the near future will make these bad boys obsolute...

      btw, the Chinese are building, um, like, 600,000 of these new facilites a day, so heads up America...

      I realizes I am pushing the whole Eco theme here, but my spider web made of plastic trash bags isn't finished... so... here, another pen and ink drawing, how boring...

    • I can't begin to tell you how much I LOVe, LOVE, LOOOVE the idea of eco-art. The more I get into green living, the more I appreciate the creativity and innovation of people who stretch the boundaries of their imagination in an effort to do right by the environment.

      Some examples of eco art that I wouldn't have ever dreamed up myself include repurposing tires (http://bit.ly/7KYlo), the 3D junk collages of Tom Deininger (http://bit.ly/pkCkL) and Wonder Bread/Bologna/TP canvasses (http://bit.ly/4zQlyw). I've also seen some remarkable ideas here: http://bit.ly/3d4pqO
