Drawing Day 2008 is ready for the world

Drawing Day is here and we couldn't be more excited. Since this is our first year and there is so much excitement around our event, it only made sense that we create a blog to keep everyone updated with our build-up to the event.

As you all know, this is the first year of this initiative. We're very much feeling the waters but we sure have jumped in the deep end. It's been a very aggressive project, from concept to launch in less than a month. It's one of those ideas that jumps into your head and you're so excited that you just can't stand any hesitation.

The response so far has been amazing. We are just beginning to spread the word ourselves and all the supporting communities have been nothing but welcoming. It's obvious that lovers of art are passionate about anything that encourages creation. It's almost like we've all been sitting around waiting for an event like this.

So first steps. Help us! Artists have always shrived to be heard so now is your chance. We have the voice, we have the subject, now if every artist tells a hand full of their friends and fellow artists about this event you will be surprised how far word can spread.

• Visit our "spread the word" page.
• Read through the "Participate" section of our site and get prepared by joining all our social groups, rate our YouTube video, etc.
• Blog about our event
• Embed buttons and banners into your website or online profiles

We're very open to ideas and suggestions on how to help promote our event, so feel free to let us know your ideas.

Let's get drawing!
