The Useful Tutorial
PLEASE get on this quilt. That's what PEOPLE suggested, so I guess the PEOPLE are now responsible for finishing the darn thing. I like it a lot, I won't let you lazy bastards kill the idea just like that! I'll draw every single tile myself, if it comes to that. But anyway, please draw something :)

nuclear explosions, satanic rituals, cannabalism, blood stained snow, lynchings, maggot infested carcasses, orgies, dragons, skeletal remains, etc are all welcome too.

Van Gogh Gallery
Clarification: This is not intended to be a surreal quilt... so pay attention to neighboring tiles, and limit your tile's subject matter to what you would see if you were looking through Van Gogh's eyes and living in Europe in the 1800's
Addendum: So, no robots, spacemen or flying saucers, buses, airplanes and no nuclear explosions please... and even though they may have existed in Europe in the 1800's, no satanic rituals, no mass murderers, no cannabalism, no more blood stained snow, no lynchings, no maggot infested carcasses, no orgies, no dragons [sorry geck], no skeletal remains, ... Ok, did I leave anything out? We'll see I guess. Just pretty or moody landscape. Sorry if that's boring.

Description: the calistoga armadillo's prefer warmer climates, so they migrate south for the winter...these little critter's thrive in the antarcican environment...
...this frequently causes students to follow their trails in search to capture them and lick them for "that armadillo feeling" ...and oh what a feeling...
"Can I smoke Armadillos?" many a men have asked... just put them in the bong...
...while some have tried, few have been successful...The Armadillos just doesn't burn that good...those that have have been greeted by a strange taste, unlike any other...It is always best to squeeze your armadillo before smoking...
the NAPO (National Armadillo Protection Organization) is rallying to save the last few Armadillos...yet they are difficult to find as they often dusguise themselves as politicians...only way to tell wheter it is a poltician or an Armadillo is, yes, you guessed it... To lick it! .So now there is quite the orgy in the whitehouse... and alas, today the students have left, regrettably not having licked an armadillo...
how do you know that you are not an armadillo?
tune in next time on.......... #tiles !!! (this message and quilt was brought to you by irc://irc.ice.org#tiles)
Licking Armadillos does get you high.
Anyway, just draw whatever you feel is somewhat connected to that very odd story...

For now, you guys can just draw the 18 underwater tiles. The surface and ocean floor tiles will be created at the end. Do NOT draw them now.
We need a volunteer to draw the control panel for the sub that won't be offended if I hack it a little bit by adding some animation to it.
Anyone that wants to make items to be indiviually animated over the quilt (i.e. fish swimming) can email me the graphics as a static .png or an animated .fla file.
Thanks,
