Kyle Cassidy's Small Art Project

A couple of weeks ago I commented on a photo of Neil Gaiman and his dog by photographer Kyle Cassidy in his post about collaborative art. It was his fan letter to musician Nicki Jaine that was the seed to his eventual meeting and photographing Neil Gaiman.

I stumbled across this post after following a Neil Gaiman Twitter to Kyle Cassidy's livejournal blog inviting artists to collaborate on a small art project. All you had to do was say 'Yes' in the comments.

I immediately responded and landed on the first page of comments under my livejournal name Pixzzzart and for the next few days watched as 600 people replied with the word 'Yes.'

The positive replies have reached the 800 mark and Kyle Cassidy set up a separate community for creative souls in search of inspiration and, as it turns out, a collaborator.

In a subsequent blog post, Kyle Cassidy revealed the random pairing and we were pushed out of the nest and into creativity.

My collaborator is a young photographer with a sensational collection of Pink pics. We have emailed after initial contact via Twitter. Two weeks to go before we report back with 'What came of it' and as nothing has come of it yet - we have work to do.

All we can say at the moment is it may involve photos and a children's story and it's all happening online as my collaborator lives in Northern Ireland.

Wish us luck!
