Drawgasmic: I wish i could...

I wish i had a hobby. One that i could be so obsessed with every other waking moment. A hobby that would keep me occupied when i'm bored or something to turn to when i need some time out.

There must have been a time when i knew how to draw.

Maybe i should try to cross stitch. Paint. Something to steer me away from staring at my 21.5 inch monitor.

And then in a act of procrastination i came across this and became more envious...

Drawgasmic Art Exhibition - The Art, Illustration, and Design Compendium



: click :

And thought, if i can't draw i'm sure at least ONE of my silent readers' can.

ONE of you must have a talented bone in your body. So if you're one of those people who wishes their doodles and sketches were seen by thousands, i say give it a shot.

For many, including myself, the exhibition is a bit of a hike to get to but if you're in St. Louis or near, you should check it out.

Q: What sort of artists/work are you looking for?

A: We're looking for weird, strange, cartoon, unusual, cute, freaky, edgy, low brow, surreal, pop, interesting, realistic, crazy, and wonderful works of art! If it seems awesome: We will love it!

Q: When does my work need to get there?

A: As soon as possible!!! SERIOUSLY! We are scanning and posting the work onto this website as we receive it. The faster you get the work to us the faster we can post it on the site.
