US AND THEM: collaboration details

Posted by Justin Cooper, Friday, November 11, 2011 11:56am

The follow-up to our last (and quickly sold out) short-run art publication "Whiteout". We're really looking forward to your contribution to "US AND THEM", our second in a series of limited edition zines.

All you have to do is 'apply' for the collaboration, create your US AND THEM inspired piece (you may create and post more than one), and post it for sale as an art print. We'll then curate both the contributions for the zine itself, as well as the accompanying collection that will later be featured in the Society6 Shop.

Some things to help you navigate this collaboration:

1. Please click the purple "apply" button for US AND THEM, only if you at least intend to contribute. You must apply by no later than December 2nd to be eligible to participate (and your work completed and posted by December 9th, see below).

2. This is a chance for you to interpret US AND THEM how you see fit! Please create your piece and post it for sale as an Art Print at anytime, but by no later than Friday, December 9th to be considered for the zine and the collection.

3. Please use the title of your work as the title of your post AND please use the words "US AND THEM" in the description of your post (even if that is the entire description)

4. The final dimensions of the book will be approximately 5.94in x 8.25in (with some spreads available to accommodate works). Please keep these things in mind when creating your work!

You will be notified via email for inclusion in the zine, and separately via email if your piece is added to the collection.

More details to follow...enjoy.

Yes. Brilliant title. Should we work in black and white, or can we do color? Thanks.

Justin Cooper commented on Saturday, November 12, 2011 10:25am

Any colors you like Rachel!

Somehow there were two listings for me when I applied. This might explain the gallery problems I'd been having. I didn't which of the two selections to choose so I selected both. (Maybe we can work these gallery issues out so things are right?)

Anyway, my selection is at:

Hey Justin,
I have just applied to be included in the "US AND THEM."
Fun theme btw.!
I see that my old "studios" comes up when I press "apply" - what is the reason for this and now I suddenly involved with two "studios" ... is this ok?
Best regards, Randi

Anthony M. Davis commented on Sunday, November 13, 2011 9:32am

Hi Randi,

I saw the same thing and wondered if I was doing something wrong.

Ditto.

Efi Tolia commented on Sunday, November 13, 2011 11:24am

Same here.

Lucas Scialabba :: Palitosci commented on Sunday, November 13, 2011 3:07pm

me too!

Justin Cooper commented on Monday, November 14, 2011 9:14am

hey guys, the studio drop-down question is tied to a legacy issue related to the old Studios. Not to worry, as long as you successfully applied for this collab, you are all set! Thanks for the question.

Anthony M. Davis commented on Monday, November 14, 2011 10:02am

Thank You Justin.

I roughed out a few concepts that I like, and I am having trouble picking one. Can we do more than one entry if we wish?

Justin Cooper commented on Monday, November 14, 2011 1:22pm

@chump magic, as many as you like, yes. thank you.

Chump Magic commented on Monday, November 14, 2011 1:40pm

I've been verified. But have no idea whether I've been accepted?? Where do we send the submissions to? As you can see I'm new to society6 :)

Hugo Barros commented on Thursday, November 17, 2011 1:36am

Justin Cooper commented on Thursday, November 17, 2011 9:18am

@Andrew, please check out the details above. Next, you'll need to create your piece and post it on S6. We'll start curating the final group a little bit later. thanks and welcome!

Esther Moliné commented on Friday, November 18, 2011 4:33am

Hi, great theme, have something on mind I could use as my entry for this but I'm going to see if the theme inspires me to do something better before the 9th. Best of luck with the project

please do not post the link to your contribution in the comments thread, thank you everyone.

farah allegue commented on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 10:36pm

if I have an ancient work already posted for sale as an art print, do i just have to add US AND THEM in the description and it will work?

vin zzep commented on Saturday, November 26, 2011 5:12pm

Hi Justin,
Is it okay to have more the US AND THEM in the title?
ie "apples and oranges US AND THEM" is this okay
Thanks vinpez

Shantelle Knight commented on Saturday, November 26, 2011 7:40pm

hi my caps are not working. i'm new to s6 love this place
and hope to get involved with your cool projects. thanks shantelle

Justin Cooper commented on Sunday, November 27, 2011 2:42pm

@vince, yes, no problem at all. thanks.

Shawn Schulte commented on Sunday, November 27, 2011 5:42pm

curious if there is a preference for how the images are aligned? I'm assuming most are aligning them vertically, but i'd like to align mine horizontally (you'd have to turn the zine on it's side to view the image right side up. Is that something that'd be frowned upon?

Kristina Pavlyuk commented on Monday, November 28, 2011 12:00pm

This is awesome, thanks Justin! Any other way we can get involved?

Melissa Martinez commented on Monday, November 28, 2011 5:04pm

Hi Justin! Does the artwork we submit have to be a new item or can it be one that's been up for sale for a hot minute in our shop?

My Friends Love Me commented on Thursday, April 19, 2012 5:43pm

Damn...I would of loved a copy.
