Bruce Kasanoff, co-founder of DrawtheDog.com, got in touch to tell me a bit about the site. Both he and Jim talk about where the idea came from and what they love most about it:
Geek To Me: Where did the idea for Draw The Dog come from?
Jim George: Bruce and I were working on a book project that involves elaborate full color illustrations of dogs, which means each illustration takes me about two weeks to complete. One morning, I woke up with pretty much the whole idea of Draw the Dog: the name, the style of black and white cartoons, and the way each cartoon reveals itself on the site. Now I draw one cartoon a day!
G2M: Jim draws the cartoons, so what about you Bruce? What's your contribution?
Bruce Kasanoff: My main contribution to the site was the idea that almost every cartoon would be inspired by a real dog, and that owners could submit stories through the site. This creates a much closer bond between Jim and the people who visit our site.
G2M: What kind of feedback have you been getting? Good? Bad?
Jim: We get instant, generally incredibly positive feedback from the site, and that gives me all sorts of energy.
G2M: Finally, why do this sort of thing?
Bruce: We do it because we love doing it.
