So now it's up to you to keep the "conversation" alive. There are multiple ways to carry the conversation along.
- Start with the sketch and submit a photo to the PhotoJojo Flickr Group.
- Take the photo at the top and submit a sketch (not limited to sketch-it artists).
- Look at the whole process and create a video or whatever.
We started this out with sketch-it artists and members of the PhotoJojo Group. But you have some fun with it also. Just post a comment on sketch-it thread or the PhotoJojo thread with a link to your contribution. We will seek you out and upload your creation.

Best friends but....
One of my most detailed requests to date... 2 dads, 1 each side of the Atlantic, US Dad is really Scottish and has a baby girl (age 9 months) in his arms, Scottish Dad has a baby boy (age 18 months) on his shoulders. Dads are best friends but
This one took a little longer than a minute due to the amount of detail and content in the sketch. I wasn't quite sure how to depict two Scottish dads so I did go for the visuals of a kilt. The request ended at "best friends but"... it didnt say... so hopefully that question lingers with the sketch...
UPDATE: the request was meant to end "Dads are best friends but are seperated by an ocean."

Corner of Ninth and Vine
Here's my first photo inspired sketch from PhotoJoJo.
PhotoJoJo reference:
"...for my husband to keep in his wallet"
Amanda wanted a sketch that her husband could keep in his wallet. The rest of her request may not be "G" rated enough for this family site, so we'll leave it to your imagination. To be safe, I also did not post the sketch I sent her, and instead posted an altered version.
Hope you (and your husband) like your sketch(es)!

David's note said he "will email". I assume he means he'll email a photo. We haven't received one yet so I decided to draw this. Whenever David does send us the photo, well sketch that too.

Ugly Tie...
Oddest request I've gotten yet: "An ugly tie in a gift box"
OK. So here it is. I was gonna do a quickie but I decided it had to be color so I could use colors that just clashed all around and it took a little longer than it should have. If I were inclined to take more time on this I would have mixed patterns like stripes and paisley or something but I didn't want to spend all night on it.

Edmund Meinhardt
Edmund Meinhardt wanted a sketch of himself based on the one that appears on his site: edmundmeinhardt.tripod.com
Edmund is a journalist - therefore I drew him with his press card and Fedora ala the old movie reporters.
Hope you like it Ed!
