swarm sketch: collective sketching

Started as an honors project for college student Peter Edmunds, Swarm Sketch quickly took on a life of its own. From the website:

SwarmSketch is an ongoing online canvas that explores the possibilities of distributed design by the masses. Each week it randomly chooses a popular search term which becomes the sketch subject for the week. In this way, the collective is sketching what the collective thought was important each week. A new sketch begins after one week, or after the previous sketch reaches one thousand lines, whichever comes first.

The project has been live for 865 days and there are more than 200 sketches in the gallery – some of them truly capture the likeness of the intended word(s).

You have 5 more days to contribute to the Gypsies sketch. Go play.  For more collaborative art fun, check out the links page.
