MANTIS-PORTHOLES…
I invite you to collaborate with me. Here’s the thing…
- Click and print your Mantis-Porthole below.
- Create your own pictures within (and outside!) the window of the porthole.
- If you wish to share your work with me, please email an image of your finished art to andymiller35@hotmail.com I would LOVE to see the product of our collaboration!
I feel that in this current age we are all, ‘in the same boat’, so to speak; one giant mother-ship. This is a project for people of all ages…create one or several! Please share with your family, friends and neighbors…soon the seas will be less angry.
Create your own Mantis-Porthole…
