Drawing Day

Today is 6-7-08, the day selected by some people as Drawing Day. The people on the site want to reach 1,000,000 drawings online, and I would love to be a part of that. I have marked this day on my calendar, but somehow I forgot about it and I haven’t drawn anything! But no worries, the day isn’t over yet and they say it might go on for at least a week, and besides, it still isn’t June 7th on the other side of the world.
So, if you haven’t yet, start drawing and upload it on anything, anywhere! I’ll porbably post it on this blog, and my DeviantArt account too.
Happy Drawing Day everyone!

On a completely unrelated side-note, I’ll be changing themes often over the next few days until I find one I really like, so expect  some changes.

The Making of an O’Reilly Animal

I’ll be out for a few days on vacation again, so here’s something that might keep things interesting around here.

Have you ever wondered how those O’Reilly books got their covers? How did they choose the animal for a specific book? Why did they even choose animals in the first place?

Their website posted an article answering those questions, with a step-by-step image on creating one of the animals (a pelican).
