Draw A House
I have a new project for you!
So from my college days, I always recall in Child Psychology how they said they would ask children in kindergarten to draw a house in effort to create a personality profile of them that tends to have consistency throughout their lifetime. I do remember drawing a house in first grade, and felt that I had been betrayed by my teacher for not exposing the task's true intention!
But now, often, while in lyric-writing mode ( i prefer unlined blank paper journals), I find myself doodling when at loss for words, and at times draw a house in effort to analyze what I'm really trying to say.. however the house is nearly always the same. Perhaps they were right about the house in kindergarten.
So my project for you, with full exposure, is to draw a house. Draw the house not that you may live in, or that you've seen, but the house that represents who you are. It doesn't have to be an architects rendering, just a .jpg in paint or scanned in crayon, a simple depiction of the house that is you, and send it to my email: chiasm@chiasm.org or post it here.
I will be writing a song inspired by your houses for my next album, 11:11.
The images will hopefully be either used as some artwork for the album, or at the very least, posted here at: http://www.chiasm.org/drawahouse.htm
Thank you so much for your inspiration, and have fun!
