I’m very proud to be helping out on this project – I’ll be live blogging the #dingbatsdrawforcharity live illustration of Comic Relief from @15QueenStreet on Friday evening.
It’s a great initiative from Phil and Wivenhoe local girl, Lauren – using their considerable illustrative and design talents to capture an artistic angle of the event unfolding.
The plan is to get the celebrities to sign the artwork, and then auction it all off for Comic Relief. Having recently triumphed in a similar live draw off event in London, the Dingbats are rather brilliant at capturing live events using design.
In what has been less than a twelve-hour time frame since the plan was first hatched online, it has been wonderful to see how the creative hub @15QueenStreet has rallied around the cause to help out.
@kinura will be live streaming the event; the PR background of many of the members has managed to secure a radio appearance to plug the project on BBC Radio Essex at 3:30 on Friday afternoon.
I think it’s time to post up my favourite ever tweet yet again:
If u want to get something done set up network, slow it down set up an organisation #lno10

I’m still not sure how the live blogging is exactly going to work – video, audio and images for sure, but I’m undecided as to where to put the content – here or over there. Or maybe even both?
Bring it on…
