The Next Event: Single Line Portraits!

Hey, everyone! Thank you all so very much for the awesome pictures! It’s so, so cool to be able to see you the way you see me! I feel like I have such a better idea of who you all are! It was also so much fun to see the different and creative ways everyone expressed themselves through this project! I loved experiencing each of your individual expressions! OK, so now this week’s project is a little more personal and creative! I would love to see each of you draw a self portrait using one continuous line! That’s right! The challenge is to never let your pen leave the page! A la Picasso! Have fun! Here is Kristin’s and Chad’s. You can go ahead and email it to the same spot you did last time: mackevents@allisonmack.com. Have Fun! Oh! and if you wanna see the awesome drawings that everyone else sent in just click on either Chad or Kristin’s drawing and scroll through…..mine is in there as well! Enjoy!

    I’ve tried a couple of times but I didn’t succeed. Hats off to Kristin and Chad and to all the others who will send in a drawing.

    Wishing you and Kristin a wonderful time at the music event in New York this weekend.
    Please tell us about the performances and your experience as a judge in your next blog entry.

    Have fun.

    Hey Allison,
    This idea sounds interesting. I appreciate your interest for art. I’ll try to produce a picture and to send by mail ok? What do you think to open a competition for this christmas?? It’ll be great.

    Take care,
    Diego

    Hi Allison,
    it sounds fun. it also sounds very hard. i’m not much of an artist anyway, but one line! it sounds like a fun challenge. if i have time i will do it, but it wont look anything like me.

    Hope you have fun, and hopefully a good laugh at these portraits!

    Can’t wait for more events!

    I’ve got one … but I ‘accidentally lifted my pen several hundred times … and it’s 34 years old. Now where did I put it.

  • Jennifer

  • knotnamed

    I haven’t picked up my pencil in sooo long…this might be just the challenge I need.

  • Elizabeth M

    Well I gave it a go. Not sure if it looks like me but it was fun. It’s been along time since I tried to draw anything other than a dog or a house for my god daughter. This was a lot of fun though. Allison thank Chad and Kristin for sharing with us :)

  • tabby

  • http://AllisonMack.com Alyson Lindley

    Hello Allison, Hopefully I will be able to send you a self portait of myself, but I can’t draw . I love to write, and sing. My grandfather was the artist in the family . He drew the Coopertone girl. My Aunt Bobbie told me he had a friend that worked for the company that produced the products, and they were trying to come up with a picture for their product. He was visiting my grandparents one day ,and saw the drawing on the table. The man asked about it . My grandfather told him. It was my Aunt Tonyell playing in the yard with her puppy. He liked the picture so much that he asked my grandfather if he could show it to his boss, and the next day he called asking if my grandfather would sell the picture to Coopertone, Well here is the funny thing . My grand father gave them the picture,but he made them promise that nothing would be changed . Oh his friend took the family out to eat . He scored alot of brownie point with his boss. PEACE& lOVE Alyson

  • Ana C.

    WOW. It’s hard enough that I have no skills at art but ur challenge just makes it even harder :P
    I’m going to try and hopefully make it! I enjoy the little quests u send us to. I’d love to see one that you did of yourself though, hahaha.

    -Ana, one of ur many fans xo-

    ok…
    it’s cool…

    using one continuous melody…

    Hi Allison,
    I’m a great fan of his work, specially Chloe, of Smallville that I adore also.
    I’m a Brazilian and I do not speak well English. Sorry! rsrs… I hope that you understand my message.
    I want to be a journalist like Chloe, finally, you are so pretty!

    Kisses…

  • emilia

    ali you’re quite the artist i must say. great portraits :D

  • Rob S.

    I tried this once back in high school. After seeing the picture I drew, I decided to be a screenwriter and not an artist, but I will try to draw one and send it in.

  • http://www.myspace.com/suicidalromances Alyssa

    Allison,
    This was a LOVELY idea! I tried it as soon as I read the blog, and after completing the challenge, I was faced with a problem; Although it looked somewhat like me… I am afraid I will never send it, seeing as how I am just absolutely grotesque! Thank you, though. It was fun until I finished and realized yet again how much I despise myself. But, thank you. As always, you are lovely, and I think it’s so wonderful giving us these challenges to participate in. You’re wonderful!

    Peace, Light, And SO Much Love,
    Alyssa

  • Rafe

  • Kyle

    Sounds cool; I haven’t had a chance to draw anything lately so this might be a good opportunity to get back into things. Now I just need to find time to do it.

    We’ll see what we can do….I think it would be awesome….
    Again, great idea Allison!

  • http://www.allisonmackespana.com MissLane

    Ana

  • Robin

    Hi Allison,

    I missed out on the last event, but have submitted a self portrait of sorts?!

    It was fun to do, considering I haven’t drawn anything in years, ta.

    I’m looking forward to seeing drawings from your fellow fans.

    Keep having fun,

    Robin

    Wish I could participate but I have two problems with that—don’t have a program able to do it and I can only draw stick people. Better with words then I am with pictures, I guess. But we all have our gifts, right? Have run guys.

  • http://angelofthewaters.blogspot.com angelofthewaters/ruthie

    I already sent mine…can’t wait to see yours guys….

  • BOUROUX

    Hi Allison.

    Good idea, It is possible to make a simple portrait or developed. Since I am not a painter I chose the simple model. Allison thank Chad and Kristin for sharing with us.
    I realy liked your performance in the Blue episode. It was fabulous to see your facial expressions during your discussion with Erica. I look forward to the next episode Gemini.
    I saw 10 days ago the movie “Enchanted”. It was wonderful. Amy Adam the greedy meteor freak of Smallville has become a charming princess.
    I hope that you have done a nice trip to Albany, and I look forward to your comments and photos.

    Have a nice day.
    Claude

  • Rita

    Heard about your site on House of El Podcast :) I soo didn’t know you had a website. I am happy I found it.

    Portrait event sounds so cool :)

  • http://www.iceempress.com/ Carol Ann

    Ha, mine would be totally easy to do all things considering. However I have been keeping myself busy helping my fiance’ design Michael Rosenbaum’s new unofficial message board. He will no longer have an official one and all of his fans are being displaced, so Chris and I will be creating and hosting the new site for free. In addition I have been working on some fun signatures for people who join the site. If you get bored I have them posted in a thread on a message board I belong to: http://oldschoolcatfights.com/board/index.php?topic=23538.msg25437#msg25437

    Hi Allison!

    I just want to drop you a little comment (I hope you read it!). I just want to express how much I admire you for your work as an actress and for putting up this blog. You are such a down to earth person and that is rare to see nowadays. I always liked your character Chloe on Smallville the best and it was funny because I was talking to a co worker about the show and she said that I reminded her of Chloe… I hadn’t thought about that.. then I watched your video blogs and it was weird cuz I totally relate to you. haha plus my name is Allison and I am 25 (actually our bdays are like a month and a half apart… I’m the older one. I can’t believe I’ll be 26 this coming year… EGADS) … It was just all kinda funny and coincidental.

    Anywayz… keep up the blog because I enjoy reading it ^_^ Someday I’ll get my blog back up and I will definetly link to yours.

    ~Allison L.

  • Regina

    hi!

    aren’t you going to post another video?

  • http://davidgarywright.com David G. Wright

    I just watched this video of Clark and Chloe and it was just beautiful! I love the character Chloe and I have always thought that the two of them should be together. This video made me teary eyed … I just loved it having been a fan since the very beginning.

  • LinZ107k

    I’ve never done anything like this before. I’m not even sure how to send it once I’m done. Oh well, I have a little brother whose a genius and I’m sure he’ll help me figure it out.
