What IF…

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

My very first blog post using joie de vivre (this blog) was a response to anĀ  Illustration Friday prompt. To date, there have been 278 total IF prompts. In my compulsive, archivist fashion, I’ve listed them below.

With IF, a new word is posted every Friday and participants create a response piece and link it from IF to their own blog or Web site.

I try to remember to at least look at the prompt, if not make something during my commute. It’s a totally fun thing to do on a Family Art Night, and the kids like it.

It might be fun to go back and do some of these – it’s not like they go stale. They might even work for someone looking to do a sketch a day for a year or so, or a themed sketchbook swap. Just a “What if…”
