A.
TwinGeekz is a loose affiliation of loose affiliates in New
Hampshire who began the TwinGeekz Artz Project challenge in May of
2005; the task was for each of the original seven participants to
produce and submit a piece of art every week for one year. Every
artist succeeded in completing their 52 pieces of art, and thus the
TGAP theory was proven: "all creativity needs is a deadline". |

A. If you're crazy enough to want to join us, then
we're just crazy enough to let you!
We are currently
engaged in an Artz Project, and unless you're willing to make up all
those weeks you've missed, you may want to think about settling for
Guest Artist status this time around, and then plan to join us when
the next Project begins. For more on Guest Artistz, check out
our "Guest Gallery" page. |

A. It doesn't take much, really. The biggie:
you must commit to producing and uploading a piece of art a week for
fifty-two weeks. Other than that, the rest is pretty minor.
You email the Geekmaster to express your interest, and we ask you to
donate $5 to defray the cost of the website, etc. It's $5 for
the year, not a monthly fee or anything ridiculous like that.
Contact the Geekmaster to find out how to donate, and to make
alternate arrangements if necessary. |
Because we are already well into this year's project,
there is one other requirement for joining now: you would have to
make up all the weeks we've already completed, all in one fell
swoop. And if you're willing to do that, they you are
definitely Geek material! Contact the Geekmaster and find
out what you'll need to do.

A. All Geekz
who have expressed their interest by emailing the Geekmaster will be
sent an email with details about when a project is beginning.
TGAP 3 began in April 2011, so another project won't begin until
some time after May of 2012, and we don't have a definite date yet.
If you don't receive notice, then either A) you're not on the
participant mailing list and need to tell the Geekmaster or B) it
went to your junk mail and you need to add
geekmasterz@hotmail.com
to your "safe" list. Remember, anyone can join the mailing
list at the site; even if you've joined that, if you haven't emailed
the Geekmaster directly to join the project then you will not be on
the Geekmaster's mailing list of participants. |

A. The whole point, of course, is to force ourselves
to create a piece every week. That having been said, we have
had "Guest Artistz" in the past TGAPs, and if you would like to
participate in that capacity please contact the Geekmaster to
discuss what your commitment will be. |

A. There will be a password-protected area of the
site for Geekz, and Geekz alone. It will include all the vital
information on uploading submissions, resources for artistic
inspiration, and other nifty goodies. Sign-in information for
the resource page will be sent via email once the Geekmaster has
received your "letter of intent" and your $5 donation. |

A. The satisfaction of a job well done and the praise
and gratitude of your fellow Geekz. What? That's not
enough? Well, there likely will be a wrap-up event of some
kind, and whether you completed all 52 weeks or not you are
cordially invited to attend, as are your friends and family.
You can read an article about our TGAP 1 wrap-up at the
"Origins of TGAP" page. Details on the TGAP 3 event will become
available toward the end of the project. |

A. Forgive us our transgression, and email the
Geekmaster. Common questions will get common answers and then
be added to this FAQ; the unusual ones will probably elicit unusual
answers. That seems only fair. |
