50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

i have an idea…

  • blog

I have this idea to make something as a unique art project. It is either the craziest, dumbest, most impractical thing ever … or it’s a crazy, dumb, impractical thing that will be awesome.

I will need exactly one million people, from anywhere in the world, to make it happen. I wonder if that’s possible.

Feel free to speculate, if you’re into that sort of thing.

    I’d offer both my kidneys, but one is still on loan to that Nigerian prince I met on the Gmail.

    I do it, and if you all can check out Brian Grossman fellow fan, artist, and Veteran. He needs to sell this and other pieces so he can keep his home health care program, the VA wrote him off.

  26. Steve Hart says:

    So, you have a cunning plan?

  27. Ryan says:
    31 July, 2017 at 3:40 pm

    A little off topic but considering all the birthday wishes… Guess who else is our age? The childlike empress from the never-ending story. Tell me that doesn’t make you feel old.

  28. BowenTheKotoc says:
    31 July, 2017 at 4:32 pm

    May I participate?

  29. Darren Mitchell says:

  30. Eve says:

    If you are asking for volunteers, or issuing a challenge, I accept.

  31. happyhooker485 says:
    1 August, 2017 at 9:53 am

    I’d like to know more about the project. Is there something like kickstarter for sourcing people? A way we can pledge to volunteer? Like one of those petition pages, maybe? Once it hits 1mil we all get an e-mail to go outside at 3:32 am on a Tuesday and sit in our neighbor’s lawn or something.

  32. Faroguy says:

    My wife is an artist and would be interested in participating. Any more info?

  34. paulashablo says:

    Color me intrigued. I am an artist and writer. Keep me posted.

  35. Jess says:

    We’re here. Waiting instruction.

  36. Dalw says:
    1 August, 2017 at 1:55 pm

    You just need 10,000 people to get 100 people each to contribute to the project. Make it personal and people will give their time.

  37. Jessica Bright says:
    1 August, 2017 at 6:59 pm

    Pretty much anything for you, sirah… 😉

  38. Regulus says:

    A friend of mine did this… wish I could send you a pic! He painted an outline of a female… Added background color and some wings and a heart on the back of the female. That was it.. for a beginning. Now there are hundreds of original versions of these women! His name is Greg Byrd…. look him up!
