I wasn't sure what to do that was really artistic as I'm not much of an artist, but the guidelines did give me some ideas. They put the ideas of music and swords in my mind. Which for some reason became listening to a bunch of jazz. Which in turn led to this.

Thank you for your submission! "The 'artistic' aspect of the jam is highly subjective and entirely up to you. If jazz and swords sparked your creativity, then that's exactly the right direction for you ;)

Thank you for hosting the jam :)
