I started my project on Hyves in May 2008. Hyves is a social networking tool like facebook, friendster and linkedin.

 I asked people, initially unknown to me, to be my friend. If they accepted and added me to their group of friends, I was allowed to see the photographs in their profile. From these I picked one.

I then copied this photo with brushes and ink. After the drawing was finished, I made a digital image of it, which I posted on my own profile. Then I gave notice to my friend that his or her drawing was done. All drawings combined with the reactions and comments form one large work of art.

FOR ALL MY FACEBOOK FRIENDS, I've made a page about the 'Kom je in mijn schilderij?' - project ( search under that title). Hope you like it!

The project "Kom je in mijn schilderij" in the Museum van Bommel van Dam in Venlo was very succesfull. I was able to add a  new chapter to  my search for an active encounter with  an audience.                                                                 For more information see special projects.  The translation for  "Kom je in mijn schilderij ? "  sounds like an invitation to be present in my painting and at the same time leaves open the possibility that you might, in the future,  play an actual role in one of my paintings. I've posted results and will keep doing that on my stijnpeeters.tumblr.com account.
