Monday, we were joined by a visiting designer/art director, Jeffrey, and we retain Brian, former M'er/advisor, for the rest of the week. Above, we are discussing how to package up the pie event.
Here are some promo clips for our project:

| Project M - PieroMainea, 3.14@1:59pm |
PieroMainea went very well. We attracted a great crowd, we all ate pie together, we all had fun.

Pies of Mass Destruction
 |
Above is one of the things I did all day. You can see some of our efforts starting to take shape at http://pieromainea.org. No big photo album today, too busy. Also, I thought everyone would enjoy a completely unrelated drawing, below.

On Day 3 of Project M, PIEromaniacs United
 |
We met at the nice house Wednesday. We were pretty bummed by 5pm, we felt we were never going to create a project that would fulfill us. After enough beer, we had an idea by 9pm that is really going to rock. Pies + Fire = Awesome.
See more pics from today, below.

Does the Winnebago Come with it?
 |
Above, cool rust streaks. Today, we met Farmers' Fare, whose goal is to bring hope and joy to people through food. An interesting concept, they are approaching it from the opposite angle of a typical business. We also walked the streets and met the community today.

A Shameless Plug for Project M
 |
Project M officially began today. Above, you see the Project M team in our workspace at the Waterfall Arts Center, Belfast, Maine.
Today, we met the people that founded the New Forest Institute, and learned about their initiative to bring agriculture (permaculture) back to the masses... particularly in suburban and urban areas. They aim to educate people and build a growing community of personal farmers who grow their own food (or some portion of it) and do it in a sustainable way. They have some cool ideas about what forest ecosystems can teach us about making abundant crops easily without chemicals or ridiculous amounts of management.

Project M, and Me
 |
First of all, the above photo is the "m" on the ever-delicious m&m. I used a blue one because Mimi loves blue. I was somewhat surprised at the dried frosting-like quality of the white stuff that makes up the "m."
I assume it's edible paint or something, I suppose I've never seen edible paint so close before. A first time for everything.
Next, I will use this opportunity to plug an upcoming adventure I plan to participate in. Well, adventure may be extreme. It's a workshop, for designers and people in similar fields. It's called Project M.
The brainchild of John Bielenberg, a designer/studio head kind of guy, Project M aims to take us designer youths, well and an old fart like me, and put us into an intensive two week workshop where we explore together how to "think wrong." In the process, we will achieve something with our talents that gives back to the world.
I've been interested in finding some way to do something positive for the world, and figuring how to use my experience as a designer/artist to do such a thing has eluded me. This is a great opportunity for me personally, and for the rest of the group involved to work together with group with similar interests and goals. I am really excited for this opportunity and really looking forward to it.
Here are a few resources about Project M, if you are curious:
The challenge was to "Draw Nothing," and that was the only instruction.
(it doesn't necessarily work like other websites, keep an open mind)
