Artistic ability

"Hi there. Great idea for the warchalking bit. Kind of cool.

I have to chime in on one matter though. There's some people coming up
with very informative but complex designs. There are people who've
commented that that's good and bad, but here's a reason why it's bad:

Artistic ability.

Don't know about others, but that design by Thomas Pynchon (or the one
with his name on it) is beyond me. You don't want to see what that'd
look like if I tried to draw it. Circles I can mostly make, some
letters, ok. But all those details, eyes? erasers? that's fine if you
can draw, but this is for everyone. Simplicity is necessary for the
artistically challenged like me.

I'd love to see some people making warchalks on the highway. Pull off at
an exit with a warchalk mark on the sign, do a little bandwidth, get
back on the road. Nifty idea. Perhaps something like


ssid
)( 2 ->



for 'open lan, 2 miles/kilometers that way'

IMagine people hanging on the overpass chalking that onto the bridge?
That'd be interesting.....

OK.. well... please make note of the artistically challenged when
deciding what gets on the warchalking cards. :)


I totally agree John. It's only going to take off if every feels like they can do it.
