Summer is on its way out :(

If you’re interested in contributing, head to your nearest home improvement store and pick up a paint chip (or several). You can select your chip at random, based on the name, the color, the fact that it reminds you of the dirt in the backyard of your childhood home, or because the shade of blue matches your grandmother’s hair. Your reasons are entirely your own. And you’re going to let this paint chip suggest a theme, subject, or vision to you. It doesn’t have to be about the chip itself, or paint, or color even, though it can be if you want it to.

Submissions are closed. Thank you for your proposals!
