I think I may be sabotaging my productivity by making sure I remember every little shitty idea that I have. This sounds like it would at least result in a large volume of work, but it does not.
Anyway, I did a quick test of the idea of making something out of objects someone has chosen. It's just a wine bottle filled with stuff, really. I think it's actually helped me to polish the idea of getting people to choose objects for me. I think what I plan to do is get people to choose objects that are specifically from their own personal environment, and I will "RECREATE THEIR WORLD." And I will make it super magical and fantastical, which will simultaneously be accurate and ironic (or maybe that's just the way I see things... everything looks like magic and I can't tell whether my brain is genuinely full of childlike wonder or just being incredibly sarcastic).
I think I'm still interested in some of the other approaches I had before to the idea of following orders from people / putting huge emphasis on their lazy doodles. Most of the ideas for how to do this, practically, weren't exactly fully formed, but I do have one that could work, which is to take a simple doodle drawn by someone else and make it really elaborate, and try to use as much skill as I have. And also, I hate to say, invest time in it. I'm still not completely sure how to go about doing this, though.
