Inside you'll discover fun ideas for monthly abandonment challenges, way to connect with other "abandoneers" in the creative community, the value of sharing with others and more. • Learn the ins and outs of being an abandoneer. • Get ideas and inspiration for monthly abandoning challenges. • See examples of abandoned art, and read the stories of the artists as well as the "finders." • Receive helpful encouragement for letting go of your creations (sometimes it's hard!). • Connect with the Art Abandonment community and learn how to share your own stories with others. Join the art abandonment project, set your art fee and make someone's day!

Dusty Diablos

Folklore, Iconography, Assemblage, Ole!

By: Michael deMeng

Assemblage ole! Bring your artistic yearnings and sense of adventure along on a journey to the land of Dusty Diablos. Inspiration seeps from every page, and inside here you'll find: a tasty mix of ancient folklore (from the ancient metropolis of TeotihuacaÌ n to the miracle witnessed by Juan Diego); colorful pop culture (who knew that Western-Horror was its own film genre or that there's an entire island overrun with misfit dolls?) and informative art-making how-tos (like the Tricky Burnt Paper Routine and crafting your own Nicho). Join author Michael deMeng on an artist's pilgrimage south of the border and experience a culture as rich as it is beautiful and as genuine and down-to-earth as it is humorous and fascinating. While being mesmerized by all the amazing assemblage pieces, you also learn such nifty things as: • Mixing up Michael's favorite paint washes to achieve "rusty" results in your own work • Crafting your own slithering serpent • Creating miniature story boxes • Aging bottle caps with beer and so much more! Indulge your senses and come along for a trip through crowded marketplaces, a thrilling taxicab ride and the intoxicating festivities of Dia de los Muertos and discover the allure of Dusty Diablos. You might not want to leave.
