OK, I'm not really what you call an "artist." The artistically declined is out there, and we all have one thing in common on this board, we love toys. So I want to start a one time art trade, and if it is popular then we can make it an annual thing or something. Basically I want to let everyone have a chance with some fun toy inspired art.

Here are the rules
It has to be a drawing.
You can make it black and white, but I color would be more fun.
You can only use the following coloring methods; Marker, crayons, colored pencil, basically anything you could use in the 3rd grade (hence the name).
You can't use anything larger than 9x12 (a basic drawing pad), but you can use any kind of paper.
Base it on anything you want, mix and match, and everyone can send in more than one, just list your name and guess how many your gonna want to do.

I think a blind trade would be the best way to do this. So lets see how many people we can get involved. Once we get 5 people involved I'll start sending info on a deadline and what have you. If anyone has any suggestions to make this easier on everyone involved or a better way than blind trade, please suggest it.

So I'll start.

Sounds fun!

OK, so that is 5, awesome. Let's set the deadline for August 13th. That gives everyone more than a month, and any newcomers that would like to be involved too.

So bust out that Crayola 64 pack and get to it!

I will be PM'ing everyone involved in a couple of weeks with an address, that way we can make sure we have everyone in that's going to go for it!

did I eff this all up? can I join?

Vombie brought this to my attention. The deadline is not until the 13th. If you want to join still everyone is more than welcome, just add your name to the list and send me a PM with your address. I will send people the addresses to who they should send it out on the 13th.

OK, I think I sent out everything correctly. Make sure you take a picture of your own drawing. I would love for everyone to post their drawing in the forum.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's work.

If there are any problems with how I did this send me a PM. I think I got it all right though.

sigh... I apologize in advance to whoever sees this.

on the other hand, I think the next one will be a lot more "fun". you'll see.

mine went out, i'll post the pic of mine up later

I'll post kevlos tonight. He sent it red eye delivery

I'll post a pic of the one that I received later tonight.

Sorry, I forgot to take a pic of mine.

Pen, crayon, & kiddie-style cake watercolors
It's my attempt at a "cutesy" honegon...

okay, I guess I'm full blown retarded cause' I never got.. and don't remember getting an address to send my image to...?

obviously I missed how this works along the way...

BAH!

I looked at Vombies and he didn't list you. Is there anyone else who didn't get an address to send to or didn't get a picture?

Sorry I'm new to this, it's my first art trade. I thought it went way too smoothly.
