Drawger Turns 4
posted:
In January of 2006, I had this odd notion that a site where illustrators posted articles might be a fun place to hang out. At the very least it sounded like a place where I'd like to hang out.
Somehow or another, I got a few other people to think it might be fun as well. Dave Bamundo, Randall Enos, David Gothard, Don Kilpatrick, Mark Matcho, Hal Mayforth, Robert Saunders, Michael Sloan, James Steinberg, Nancy Stahl and Steve Wacksman were all willing to listen to this rather peculiar idea.
Around 2:30pm, February 9th 2006, Dave Bamundo bravely clicked a save button where no man had clicked a save button before and just like that, Drawger was born. About an hour later, Mark Matcho wandered in, clicked on a comment link and typed a few sentences. The first comment arrived.
The following day Randall Enos published the second article here at Drawger.
On Drawger's forth birthday, there are 7,632 articles here and 82,295 comments. Image galleries here contain over 10,000 things to wonder at. Getting Drawger started, I have to admit, it was a rather selfish thing for me at the time. I just wanted it for me, me me. Remarkably, it's now for thousands daily, because of everyone here.
