Whisper Gallery II, Week I: Featured Artist is @manouche! Next Week is @soyrosa
This is week I of #Whisper! If any of you know of the game Telephone, this is a take on that. The beauty of Whisper is that it has no winners, and the excitement of it comes from the creative interpretations.
Steemians, we've got a new trail, and it's Whisper Gallery II!
Whisper Gallery II, Week I: Featured Artist is @manouche!
This week, @manouche started off the Whisper Gallery II from the seed by @dunsky. Dunsky created the piece finishing up Whisper Gallery I, but little did we know that it would continue on to the next artist in Gallery II. Manouche has been an avid supporter of this gallery and through the many comments, upvotes, quality art, and full commitment/support I knew she was the next great addition to kick off the second one.
The interesting thing about this is that seeing the result of her interpretation completely blew me away. I had been following @manouche for a while but until now haven't seen something like this from her! The art is so architectural, musical, and artistic all at the same time. My first reaction was "woah." Because this piece made my jaw drop. It has some surrealist elements to it too that I think are really cool with the different perspectives.
"I like drawing the disintegration of objects. @dunsky's cassette made me think of how it had replaced the gramophone and in turn was replaced by the cd, which in turn has now been replaced by digital music tools."

For those of you who appreciate the gallery, this art, or artists on the blockchain, please go follow them and give comments, likes, upvotes, re-steems, and if you're generous some tip!

What is Whisper?
A chain of artistic creations that are each initiated by a seed idea/art piece (one piece of artwork inspires the next piece, and so on). Each week we will have a featured artist who will create a piece that is inspired by the piece from the week before.
The beauty of this trail is seeing this creative interpretation and reinvention take place on a high level.

Helping Build an Art Community
We want to collectively build an art community. This is a great way to connect us, support each other through up-votes, comments, and follows. Steemit can be a slow-growing platform for creatives starting out, and the future goal is to roll this into a community event where people can be perpetually submitting to the chain.
With Whisper Gallery I now behind us, I have found so much gratification in the ability to bring more eyes to artists as well as create a showcase beyond the contest level. Art is often abstract to people, and I think when we're able to tell a collective story in our own styles, it begins to unravel that mystery for some. If our goal is to make more art, more appreciators of art, more supporters of the art community, and more people happy in general, I think we've succeeded. More to come!
Steemians, I encourage everyone to re-steem this post to gain more eyes on the project and allow the artists to get more rewards for their high-quality work. Every comment, upvote, resteem, and follow helps!
Support
Thanks to several community members for the support. I greatly respect and appreciate @sndbox for allowing this to be pushed forward and succeed in the way it did.
Steemians, please let me know what you think of Whisper Gallery I so far in the comments below!
Your words made my day, @mrblinddraw! I'm so happy that you liked the piece just as much as I did. And honestly, thanks to you for inviting me to start the gallery off because it's what pushed me to make something 'woah'. Can't wait for @soyrosa's whisper!
