Occasionally, an idea just seems to drop from the sky into the forum and everyone takes off with it.
One such case happened recently when one of our members posted a link to art.com, an art poster
site that offers gallery space for storing and sharing images. At times our forum is transformed into
some sort of creative mania; this was one of them and it resulted in this nice collection of experimental
interactive haiga. 

Most of us couldn't stay away from creating 'just one more' canvas. The site also has a feature called the "artpad", an interactive digital canvas where you can draw, paint, add text, and then save and share the
url for your creation. What viewers see is not simply a jpeg of the completed painting, but a Flash file that
recreates the process of painting it. Viewers may even add to the image in a collaborative haiga (saving
the addition creates a new url so the original is unaffected)

We invite you to view them through our Multimedia exercise pages and to try an artpad haiga of your own!
Be sure to see continue down to our 'Duets' collaborative haiga.  Images need time to load, and you may
adjust the speed control to get the feel of 'being there'..;-)

  In these collaborative haiga, images were created by Linda Papanicolaou and soji, and the url posted
