Drawball

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve become fascinated by Drawball, an ever changing online community art space. The image above shows how it looked on 23 Dec 2006 when I first started exploring it. Since then I’ve become so preoccupied collecting interesting drawings from the world of Drawball (and adding one of my own) that unpacking my main art collection is on hold for the moment.

It may look chaotic from this distance, but Drawball is full of hidden wonders and intriguing phenomena. It’s teeming with all kinds of creative life and destructive forces too. The remarkable thing is how masses of people can, and will, draw together despite the conflicts.

Over the coming days I’ll be sharing my findings with you – and be warned, some of it I’m going to call art.
