Hello, welcome.

This site is the brainchild of myself and Arienette, but we could not do it without the help of countless artists and poets who will contribute in some way or another to the growth of this page. So, thank you to anyone who writes, photographs, comments, or even just lurks every now and then. We appreciate that. Your comments are welcome, your constructive criticism is welcome, but your trolling and hate is not. I will delete any comments or posts that I feel are hateful.
I'll start by introducing myself, and let the other writers do that as well.


I'm Atticus. I'm 21 and live in Cincinnati. I have a degree in visual art and I build and ride bikes for fun. My writing style is usually called 'free form poetry' or 'surreal prose.' More of my work can be found here, if you would like to follow my non-Foto Friday writing.


[this space reserved for the introduction of any contributors.]


The premise of this workshop is as follows: each writer submits ten photos or pieces of art of their choosing to Atticus, who randomly chooses one every Friday and gives it to all of the writers. The workshop participants then have until the next Friday's photo to write a piece based on the photograph. It can be any type of writing, abstract or literal, poetry or prose. Constructive criticism is welcome, but keep in mind this is going to be a safe place to post, and no hate of any kind will be tolerated. Any questions? Shoot an email to graffiti.grunge at gmail dot com and I'll be happy to answer for you, or leave a comment here.
