Swim



If you are as much of a Jack's Mannequin Fan as I am, head over to their website and submit artwork for their new music video for the song SWIM off of their album THE GLASS PASSENGER! So many of their songs have inspired me and I can't wait to get home tonight and design something!

Brief overview:

WE WANT YOUR ARTWORK IN THE NEXT JACK’S MANNEQUIN VIDEO!

We are creating a music video for the powerful song “Swim” by Jack’s Mannequin. And need your help in creating artwork around the song! The lyrics, music and video are about keeping HOPE alive and growing in these difficult times that the world is now facing. The video is designed to INSPIRE strength, courage and perseverance in the face of all obstacles. It’s about creating an atmosphere of UNITY amongst the citizens of this planet, so important to overcoming the challenges we all face. It’s about letting people know they are NOT ALONE. If we collectively keep our eyes on the horizon, and help our fellow man, woman, girls and boys, we’ll make it through together.

We will be shooting a music video for “Swim” in June and want your artwork in the video. The majority of people in the video will be holding pieces of “artwork” to camera. Within the context of the song, the word “Swim” is used as a metaphor for “hope, perseverance, courage, determination and strength.” We are asking members of the fan community to create pieces of artwork that feature the word “Swim”. These pieces of art should illustrate, in any way chosen, the meaning behind the word (hope, perseverance, courage, determination and strength). They can be represented in an abstract or representational manner…any way the artist sees fit, in any medium the artist chooses.
