Over het boek
A whiff of Edward Hopper, a blast of Mickey Spillane, a rrowf of David Lynch!

Art Museum of Los Gatos, California
Saturday December 3, 2011

Santa Clara University, California
February 2012
Ohlone College, Fremont California
Elliott Fouts Gallery, Sacramento California
The story you write should be a "Flash Fiction" which is a complete story in one thousand or fewer words.
Stories will be published in a vintage style newspaper catalog and the gallery will be converted into a 1930 or 40's cabaret set and students will be acting the stories out as monologues at some of the events at the college in the art gallery.
You could win a drawing of your own in exchange for a piece of flash fiction!
Renovated Reputations is the result of an internet blogging project in which paintings and assemblages based on vintage and antique vernacular photography are the inspiration for short fiction. The blog, which gets between one hundred to two hundred and fifty visitors a day, is the nexus point. Each week between seven to ten authors from the U.S. and U.K. submitted short fiction of one thousand words or less compete to win an original work of art that is the basis for the story. The stories and assemblages are then coupled with great graphic design and photo illustration to create an environment that compliment the two.
The catalog is a collaborative joint between myself, an artist with a national reputation and proven track record. (I’m also a professor of Art and Art History at Ohlone College in Fremont where I also am the director of the Louie Meager Art Museum)
So far the authors are a dirty dozen or so such as author professor Mark Brosamer, mystery writer Matt O'Malley, pulp author Steven D. Rogers of PulpFest fame, Dreamworks animator/cartoonist Brian Newlin, columnist Gigi De Vault and others.

We're going to have a photobooth for the show for participants to play with and vintage costumes.
Of course I'll send the authors free copies of the catalogs.
I may also print an illustrated monograph that will include some of the stories and pictures.
Sincerely (I mean it!)
