Introducing The Vagabonds:
From Merriam-Webster:
Vagabond:
a person who moves from place to place without a fixed home
And, also fitting: from synonym.com: (Adj.)
continually changing especially as from one abode or occupation to another
I've painted a small series of these little paintings, and I've always been eager to do something with them, something quirky and funny, something mysterious and, well, vagabond, so I may have come up with a little interactive game here.
This is Vagabond #1, an original painting, an original character, painted in oils on canvas, 13x18cm:
Now for the fun, interactive part!
Make a comment on this post, where you start with which name you would give to this vagabond. Then randomly pick three numbers between 1 and 13: I have made a list with 13 adjectives, 13 occupations and 13 origins, so your random choice will make this character really unique. Finally, you can give me a family or relative-link, which will be the link from this character to the next Vagabond.
Confusing? I bet, so here's an example.
Write in a comment:
a first Name, 3 numbers between 1 and 13, and a relationship,
that could be written like:
Vernon, 12 - 4 - 8, Grandfather; or
Julius, 7-7-7, Mentor
I will then reply on your comment with the numbers filled in, according to my list:
Vernon, the Dedicated Smuggler from The Abandoned Monastary, Grandfather of...
Julius, the Courteous Poet from Alexandretta, Mentor of ...
where "..." will be the next Vagabond. I will somehow try to maintain a family-tree, that could be fun!
So, how will you name this character? And which numbers will you randomly choose? And what will be this character's acquaintance to the next one? I'm eager to see!
Is it a contest? Yes and no, let's have fun in the first place, and see what the funniest, extravagant, bold and vagabondish result is, I may have some SBD to spare!
