We rescued animals this year! To celebrate, brush your cat or dog, then use the fur you collect to create a portrait of your favorite actor. Take a picture of your pet with this new portrait and post on social media with the actor’s handle. Submit both the image and a link to your post.

64 POINTS

We have recently seen the emergence of mega-farms, huge efforts that implement farming on an industrial scale. Let’s go the other way! Show us your version of a micro-garden. The tinier and more ornate, the better.

(Up to 20 seconds). Get a group of friends together to do water ballet to a heavy metal song.

26 POINTS

You can use Photoshop for this one… At GISH, we’re all about unity and helping to bridge divides and make connections. In the spirit of this, create a creature out of divergent things: species that don’t get along, political leaders… you get the idea.

[Translation (of the truly bad Tengwar-Transcription): Bilbo, Gandalf, or another Lord of the Rings character in a jewelry shop, ring shopping. (Bonus points for a believable Gollum.)]

I’ve read the dictionary hundreds of times and frankly, it’s gotten predictable. It’s time for a sequel, and Gishers should write it! Coin a new word that is longer than 10 letters (the more the better!). The word must be lexically accurate - no-nonsense words or words that are really one long sentence all smashed together. You must be able to break your new word down into root words, and you must give the definition. Use it correctly in a sentence.

A strand of DNA, made out of jeans.

#99

60 POINTS

Let’s see a close-up picture of your bowl of cereal (at that point when somehow you’ve managed to eat most of the floaty cereal and there’s only weird tasting milk left and a few odd shaped cereal pieces). But in this milky-sea, let’s see a scene from a hollywood movie: A tiny pirate ship battle ala Pirates of the Caribbean, a bloody shark attack from Jaws, or that scene in the Titanic where Jack decided there was no way for him to get up on the piece of plywood with Rose (even though there clearly was).

Simone Giertz makes purposely useless things, which we here at GISH think is a pretty useful skill set, but we also think uselessness should be carbon neutral & sustainable. Make your own useless thing out of 100% repurposed or recycled materials & show its (dis)use.

#84

28 POINTS

It’s time we brought fore-edge fresco landscape painting into the 21st century. Create a fore-edge painting on a book’s leaves that is invisible normally, but at the proper angle reveals a scene from Supernatural.

In Japanese traditional aesthetics, the term wabi-sabi is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection and is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". Each day of the Hunt week, collect small items that represent this notion to you and create a still life out of them to celebrate life’s so-called “flaws” and all.

#81

49 POINTS

Recite a poem backward (so it can be heard correctly if played in reverse). The first part of your video must be you saying the poem in reverse and then the second part, the same recording played backward so we can hear it the right way. You may NOT use technology to play the poem in reverse - you must recite it backward yourself.
