So thanks again to everyone who participated in our first contest, it came out great and I hope to do another one sometime. But until then we're going to continue to have community events here on the site, and the first one is a monthly art jam, where I just throw out a topic and you guys run with it.

For our May Art Jam, there's one topic that's been all over the place, and that's the Avengers. Thanks to the movie breaking box office records by leaps and bounds, they're the hottest characters around this month. So for our first art jam the topic will be to redesign the Avengers anyway you want. You can do the whole team, you can choose just an individual character, you can do basic costume redesigns or do a total reimagining, whatever you want. Just make sure that you submit the pic to the "Avengers Art Jam" folder when you do.

Any pieces that are submitted for this art jam this month will be featured on a journal showcasing all your work. HOWEVER, I'm not doing this like a normal art jam, where you still have a deadline and then the folder gets closed down. No, in our group, the folder will remain open forever, and anyone who decides at some point they'd like to contribute something to it is more than welcome to add to it just so long as the redesign was inspired by the art jam. Now sure, only the people who get their works done by the end of May will be featured in the journal, but you can still keep adding for as long as you like. And this isn't like the contest where you had a limited number of submissions, you can submit as many pieces as you want, just try not to overrun it so that nobody else's pieces can be found in there.

Thanks to everyone who keeps this group going and I look forward to what you come up with.
