INTERACTIVE TOUR

Welcome to the Strhess Tour presented by PureVolume. This tour is about artistic bands, artists, websites, companies and people who are currently pushing the creativity envelope in a way that involves and promotes the community surrounding them. We have brought together four bands, an artist, a online music art community and several sponsors to create a new and unique experience.  Welcome to the world’s first interactive tour and here is how you can take part.
.
CREATE YOUR OWN TOUR ARTWORK

Each of the bands, along with artist Derek Hess, will be creating original pieces of art (not including their music!) that is inspired by the tour and we want you to do the same.  Anyone can take part, regardless if you are going to see the show or not. You can create any type of art you like but here are a couple of ideas:

Drawings
Photos/photo collages
Home made videos
Live videos
Web Banners
Merch designs

Flash Content
Buddy icons
Poetry
Songs
Posters
Wall paper

Paintings
Jewelry
Show reviews
Band interviews
Sculpture

.
