dreamroamer
• A poem: take an old journal entry and tear it into a minimum of fifteen pieces (photocopied entries may be used for shredding.) Pick up one of the fragments and write a poem using the words found on the scrap.

• Fictional flyer: take photographs of a collection of items. Label the items, assign prices and arrange them neatly on two double-sided tabloid-sized pages. Add other details such as the name of the store, location and phone. Make several copies, and if desired, distribute them to a few friends.

jnaz
• Writers: describe your favorite song, WITHOUT any music words in it, like beat, drums, strum, or rhythym. This will probably be a poem, but have fun with it.

• Photographers: Show your favorite song, and if you use an instrument in your image, make it as abstract as possible.

•Describe your earlest memory, tell how you felt, what you thought about it, and what you think about it, now.

•Take your change out of your pocket and put in someone\'s hand, spread the fingers and have their hand sitting just below your over head light. Now you will position yourself below them and take a picture of the light coming through the hand.

accunova
• A star, spinning voilently, shown by fans of fire and `rays` of dust.. Then a couple of great planets around it is being bombarded by meteor and are crisping, under the to-big sun.
The perspective is place relatively near one of the planets, so we can see the burned land and the red glow of volcanos erupting.. On the other side of the screen we see several spaceships, onelooking the situation.

•A wasteland of ice lies before you. The cracks in the ice reveal new layers of ice and dark water in some places.
The sky is white or gray with clouds, or dark flashing clouds.
High, uneven pillars of ice guide the way between the cracks to a giant ice-tower placed at the centre or slighty to one side of the picture. The ice-tower is gleaming white and has several cracks also, but from the flat we se a bright red-orange light, as if from a fire. Thousands of whiteclad figures are walking on the tower, between every of the four walkways marked with pillars

silvercord
• Writers (poets in particular), use your words to weave the reader into a specific emotion, or try to capture an emotion with your words. My band uses this to get ideas for compositions, but we weave the emotion into music.

• another: Writers, write about writer\'s block. Try to capture whatever it is that is blocking your creativity in the writing.

savejanos
• Drawing. Two men/kids in the foreground, one looking bored and apathetic sitting on a can of kerosene and the other standing arguing at him with a desperate look. In the background, a huge wreckage/city in flames.

• Haiku. Write seperate ones about waking up in the morning, cleaning your bathroom, and buying a hotdog from a street vendor.

satan666v
• Create a character based on the \"Dark\" side of your personality.

• Draw two men fighting with oversized fish. Try to make it look as dignified as possible

• Create a group of superheroes with powers based on the theme of \"Cooking.\" You may dream up specil attack abilities.

• Draw an alligator with a pink hat. The alligator must look like he really hates the hat, but dares not remove it. Or possibly write a poem about it.

• Create a wallpaper with Optimus Prime battling Megatron. Original Transformer, too. Not that Poke-transformers stuff.

valar
• Picture. A woman\'s blue eye takes up the whole picture. In the centre of her pupil from a \"top down\" view a fishing boat sits with a man inside it holding a fishing line over the side.
Caption. \"Waiting For Love To Bite\"

babyl0n
• graffiti in high places: graffiti done on natural rock formations and other \"natural things\" done in a almost futuristic tribal style, I\'ve had this idea for a while, but lack of funding and \"canvas\" has made this near impossible

Cuttsy
• Take a picture of something, an object like a building or a park bench, then go team up with 3 other artists such as a manipulator, freehand sketcher, a 3D artist or pexel artist. get each to do thier version of your image in thier style of art. when done you will have 4 different images of the same thing, you could then place them in a dev together as say each pane of a window or you could go crazy and get more artists involved and do one like a bugs eye.

radiances
• [Technical/3D] - A half dragon/ half machine attacking a distatnt colony city in the future. The dragon has alot of metal plating on it\'s belly and head, while the wings and tail are made out of bone and flesh. The dragon sprays a whirl of red acid into the city, where huge skyscrapers and plasma shields give the citizens enough time to take cover in huge, underground fortresses/ bunkers.

• [Vector] - A robot made entirely out of 3d ball and rectangles. (i.e. two balls for eyes, 1 rectangle for the head, 1 rectangle and 2 balls for the nose and a row of balls for the mouth... you get the idea). The robot is doing some kind of dance, therefore every part of it\'s body is moving. The best background would be a trendwhorish (3D-abstract) grey/white combination with techy details.

sumants
• I was watching When Harry Met Sally... the other night, and I was surprised to find that I could recite every line of dialogue along with the characters. This set me to thinking about other movies and scenes that I would consider my favourites, and that it would be interesting to try describing one of these in my own words. I wonder if other people might find this sort of descriptive-prose exercise useful.

leodadominico
• Music note coming through from the ears, and have the note flying out from the heart cutting it, slicing it. When you finish the piece and stare at it for awhie the meaning will come.

sovern
• Draw what you think a thought would look like in an abstract picture. If its a sad thought, it could be a tear covered in cobwebs, happy thoughts could de rainpow spirals. Just two ways you could draw your thoughts. Have fun! (also good for venting feelings)

psy-sci
• Tip to cure writers block is \"meditation\". My favorite way to meditate is to sit on the floor with my legs crossed turn off all the lights light candles and wait for inspiration. Its proven to work every time.

plainswalker
• A picture, or paiting, almost looking like a yin-yang, where the water is dousing the fire on it\'s larger end, and the fire is turning the water in to steam on it\'s end.

• A image of two people, with different colored auras, and where they are touching (maybe holding hands) the auras are combining, making a new color.

• A paiting thats all black in teh background, with death being the central image, then we havea streak of white through the black, and in it, can see an archangel of sorts comming up behind the dark figure.

sardonic

• Think about what your view of hell is... cold, dark, hot, firey... what ever it may be. Make a story line to go along with your image of hell and have a picture that represents it.

Some good stuff here. Nod
I think my favorite one is:
• Create a group of superheroes with powers based on the theme of "Cooking." You may dream up specil attack abilities.
I wanna be 'Eggbeater Man.. dun, dun, duh..'
