Sketchory: Shareable Collection of 250,000 Sketches

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts, Blog & Internet on February 16, 2009 at 3:23 pm

Philipp Lenssen of Google Blogoscoped, Nikolai Kordulla and Dominik Schmid have just released a nifty new website called Sketchory. The site features over 250,000 sketches (cartoons, scribbles and other fascinating artwork) that you can copy, remix, embed, view as animation and so on.

The sketches use Creative Commons license, so you’re free to use it even in commercial settings (say, create a book of sketches – with a maximum of 1,000 images).

Check it out: Link – Thanks Philipp!

The Picture of Everything

Posted by Stacy in Arts & Crafts on January 21, 2009 at 9:23 pm


This is just a tiny little bit of the Picture of Everything by artist Howard Hallis. The story is, well, the guy started drawing and just kept on going. Originally, he was just drawing Marvel characters, but then he started to include non-Marvel cartoons, then real-life people that had been made into cartoons, and then… well, everything. He’s scheduled to complete the whole thing – whatever “complete” means – in 2010. There are no villains in the picture because he has a friend who is going to work on the Dark Side, and yes, he is worried about getting sued.

Also, Waldo is somewhere in the whole thing, but I’m not going to look for him. You can, if you want, and let us know where you found him! The link includes plenty of close ups and much more detail.
