Wednesday 3pm Draw off 13th May 2009

Kings and Queens wins - you weird roylaist freaks!
Oh well, post your drawings of members of the royal family on Wednesday at 3pm

Fascist laws - Please don't vote if you're not drawing.
Please don't use the Wednesday thread as a pointless repost thread.
You don't have to enter so please stop gaz'ing me saying its not fair because you don't have a pencil.
If you are inspired by the subject but not to draw, why not post after the drawing thread?
I'm just trying to create a pleasant drawy oasis in the storm, please join me for a dip, but no pissing in the shallow end cheers.

# I would do but by your own token I am not allowed to vote...
Dammit I'm going to vote anyway. It's our board too - we deserve a say in what is going to occupy a large thread on Wednesday!

Fight the power!

;)

Edit humm actually I think it's a relatively moot point since it looks like K&Q is going to pwn the vote...

# then don't join in and if it really annoys you ignore the thread
I don't get what the problem is?

If there was a day out in the park for people on skateboards would you turn up on a quad bike?

It's just a harmless "does anyone want to draw X" thing. I thought I was being overly polite by inviting people AND letting them choose the subject.
If it's that sick and wrong I'll stop annoucing it and just post the result of my own choice on a wednesday instead.

# did you delete that comment
before or after reading my reply?

I'm all for open ended drawing fun and games, but that is what 99% of B3ta is about, this is one thread of something else. Just run with it, you might be surprised by how it makes your brain think in a different direction.

And if people can't handle the chains and manacles of evil oppression, why don't we run two threads, 3pm is the draw off, 3.15 is the same title but as open ended, abstract, mixed media and freeform as you like?

Don't get me wrong people, I'm not adverse to lateral interpretation, but why not therefore have a lateral interpretation challeneg/compo/thread. See who can come up with the most fantastic left field approach to a subject?

I really don't get why itsso hard to get what I'm trying to do here :D
