The Antipodes Project is a collaborative art project started by Ben Tolman in 2006. Later in 2014, Joe MacGown joined Ben in becoming a co-administrator of the project. Contributing artists are encouraged to contact Ben and/or Joe about participating in this project. Thus far, three projects have been completed and a fourth is close to fruition. All four of these projects were done with 005 and 01 micron pens on 11 X 14 inch pieces of Bristol paper (panels). The individual panels are put together to create large pieces. Many very talented artists from around the world are working with together on the project, and we are still looking for more artists to contribute. Although all projects have been in black and white, subsequent ones may involve color. Potentially, this project is open to musical and video collaborations that could tie into our themes of trippy weird stuff that flows from the mind.

Watch how they assemble and make the banks coincide by completing the drawing, what an imagination!
Almost finished, missing panels and complete shores.
