The craze for photoshop collaboration continues, perhaps less successfully, with An Exquisite Corpse. Remember the paper and pencil game where one person draws a character's feet then folds the paper leaving just a few millimetres showing for the next person to carry on drawing from? Well, that's the idea here.

Im not sure that the way they're doing this quite works. The 22 Sept image kind of does, but the earlier ones dont really look cohesive. I think in the old paper version everyone new what they were aiming for (a person) and with it being a line drawing it was easy to see where to start and stop.
The exquisite corpse images are just a mish mash of disjointed stuff stuck together..
I thin the more they do however the better they'll get as they grow accustomed to the method in their madness :)

Surrealism is a messy business. You never get what you want if you know what it is ahead of time. If you can do it better maybe you should join up and play?
