52|250 thanks our flash contributor Al McDermid, for the use of his collage “Panel 3.7″ as this week’s art.
This is not solely my art, but is a collaborative collage created in conjunction with 6 other artists (I was #7 on this piece). The others all do amazing work, which you can see at:

Wow, this is wild, Al! Love the fact that its a collaborative effort and how the pieces fit so well together.
Love the art panel for the theme “Coincidence.” It captures many sub-themes: love, journey, religion, just a few that represent the various experiences we encounter that seem either Fate or Serendipity. Great work.
Love this – as a whole, as well as for its individual parts. And that it’s a collaboration is cool. Favorite elements at this particular viewing: foot prints (two directions!) and the wondrous conical hat.
so much great stuff to look at. thanks, al.
al, this is fantastic. come to the kaffe, please: http://kaffeinkatmandu.com (leave yr email here).
Cool site. Can I join? What do I do?
So bright and colourful and fun … such a pleasure to look at.
Thanks, Matt.
Thanks, everyone. This was a fun project (7 of us started a collage, then sent it on). You can see others (on-going and previous) here: http://7panels.deviantart.com/gallery/
I’ll post a link back here so some of the other artists can see your comments, but on behalf of all of us, thanks again.
I like the way this works with the 52250 page. It looks great.
Al, this is just terrific, you all collaborated with a finesse that makes such a striking collage that feels like it has one central intelligence. I’m very impressed and it’s wonderful for this challenge. thank you!
Thanks Susan. Glad to hear that it looks ‘unified’ as that was kind of the goal; to not simply add something, but to add something that fits.
I am a huge fan of collaborative art and this one is no exception! In fact, it is exceptional! Love it, Al, and I would love to see more of this art happening around the globe. Thanks for sharing this for coincidence! Perfect for the theme this week.
Thanks Robert. I’m actually involved in a number of these projects. This one still has 6 incomplete collages; I’m working two jigsaw puzzles (those big wooden ones for kids with each artist doing a piece or two); and a traveling journal. Yeah, great fun.
Just perfect for this week’s theme, echoing how well it all fits together.
Thanks, Catherine. It really is a good fit. I’m pleased it was chosen, even if my part in it was small.
It seems I made a mistake. The collage was started by http://hrn.deviantart.com/ rather than http://jkd-kat.deviantart.com/, who uploaded the image.
