What's Theme week?

It's this nifty thing we do around here to get people to draw! Basically, we'll have a designated theme and ask everyone to create artwork based on that theme.

How to participate

Create artwork based on this month's theme then submit your artwork during the dates listed above. When you are making your gallery selections, you should see a nifty box for adding your artwork to the theme week gallery. It should look something like this...

And please don't submit artwork you already created. That's no fun. Please only post new artwork for our theme week.

Questions? Email us.

September 2008: Chinese Art and Culture

It is a proud time now for China as the 2008 Olympic Summer games are being hosted in Beijing. If you had a chance to watch the opening ceremonies, you were likely inspired by the stunning performances, costumes, and imagery the Chinese presented to the world. Much of it is rooted in Chinese culture and art history. Let us celebrate their art and culture in September's Theme Week! Create a piece of artwork based on some aspect of Chinese Culture/Art.

August 2008: Draw your own paper demon

Draw your own rendition of a paper demon. PaperDemon.com was originally named after this sketch of Vegeta as a demon. Because of the parchment and vulnerable look of the drawing, I named the drawing "Paper Demon." I liked the name so much that I named our little community after that name. This week I invite all of the wonderful members of PD to draw their rendition of a 'paper demon.' I like to think of a paper demon as a demon that is vulnerable and harmless. But you can interpret this any way you want. As long as its clear from the imagery that the creature has some features of a demon, then it is ok to post.

Ice cold drinks in the hot weather, summer love, school's out, laying on the beach, sunglasses, and lots of hot guys with their shirts off!
