Drawing Day 08

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

Drawing Day 08 is a worldwide drawing event that is about getting everyone to draw for the sake of art. They would like help creating 1 million drawings online on this day to support online art communities.

Its on June 7, 2008. The YouTube video is pretty cool, too.

This year I’ve spent more effort trying to make time to draw so this sounds like a great idea. Give them your support. I’ll skip the Flickr / Deviantart route though and post them on my drawing blog. To each his own.
