If the answer is yes, then I have found the site for you. Scribbls.com is an online collaborative drawing community that allows your time-wasting talent to fully develop into a useful contribution to laughter. The point behind the site is to take any two things drawn by Scribbls members, and draw what happens when you mix them. Below is a couple examples:
You don’t have to be the best artist to enjoy Scribbls and its easy to jump right in to contribute to a few bad jokes.
I recently created an mp3 e-card for pop rap artist Tyga. His debut album, No Introduction, is being released by Decaydance Records on June 10th.
Tyga is the cousin of Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes and achieved his first recognition opening for Fall Out Boy and Gym Class Heroes during the Young Wild Things Tour in late 2007. He’s also received much acclaim and admiration for his top notch performance with Lil’ Wayne at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards.
You can listen to several songs on the e-card, including his first single “Coconut Juice”, which samples the chorus from Harry Nilsson’s 1971 hit, “Coconut”. As you may know, Tyga is certainly not the first to channel his/her inner Harry Nilsson.

Another year has gone by and The Tribeca Film Festival has eluded me once again. I subject myself to a long week of music and films every year at the CMJ Music Marathon and Film Festival, but I am yet to see more than one film or go to a single panel at Tribeca in the three years that I’ve lived across the Hudson.
One particular panel that interested me this year was titled Beyond YouTube: Understanding the Opportunities for Short Film Today, which was mainly advice for short filmmakers who would like to make a career of it. The panel featured Linda Olszewski from Shorts International, Jen Chen from Ouat Media Distribution, Andy Marks from MATTER , Megan O’Neill from AtomFilms and legendary animator Bill Plympton. Luckily, for me, Tribeca posted a brief overview of the discussion that occurred at the panel on their website.
So, yes, I’ve made a short film and yes, I wanted instant feedback from the world, so I uploaded it to YouTube (and countless other video communities). I’ve gotten positive comments on my film and have been contacted numerous times by people looking to get a copy of my film, but not once did anyone offer to pay for it. According to Olszewski, I may have destroyed my chances at ever screening my film or making a single dime from my work. There is something to be said for wanting as many people to see and enjoy your film as possible as I did, but if you have any intention of making money from your film, YouTube is not the way to go. Let me clarify that. Putting your film up in its entirety on YouTube is not the way to go. I could compare and contrast what is happening in the music industry with the film industry, but I think I’ll save that for another time.
