Introducing the Drawingdan Team!

Here at Drawingdan we have a small but highly skilled and committed team that gets up every morning and brings you Drawingdan as you know it, so for a while I have been meaning to formally introduce you to the whole team (please  - did you really think it was just me and my computer on the couch...? Come - on, theres a whole team of us). We are a lean, mean, (sometimes downright nasty) committed little team.

Firstly we have me: I'm me: Tan. I work incredibly 'hard' and am always thinking of new ways to procrastinate. I'm up at dawn (well, in winter anyway) and I'm known to say: 'Why work late when you can go to bed early?'

Supervising and Assisting goes to the highly skilled Eskarina Smith, Also known as Eska, Eskapoodle Eskaban, Eskapade, Pesk, Peskapoodle, Pooska, Peska, Pooh, Eskapoo, Woo, Smooch, Prime Leather Cut, Monkey Face, Bump, and of course, Esk. You may have met her previously here or here. She has a very important role, as she looks after the teams mental health, by always asking 'how about a teabreak' or, 'why not take a teabreak and play ball' or 'alright it's time to take a teabreak and go for a walk', or even, 'why not draw a bone, hmm, a bigger bone, hmm, you're not very good are you, I can't even smell it...'

Then we have the permanent Resident (although not in South Africa) Model Dan Adams, also known as, well, Dan. Yes! It's the very same Dan from Drawingdan. The very same one! He is here for comic relief, and is always on hand to be drawn, as well as criticise, did I say criticise? I meant Critique. He is always saying things like, 'hmmm, what if you changed that and that and that - what would it look like...?' (i.e he doesn't like it) and quite often 'hmm, do you like that color ' (i.e he doesn't like it), and my all time favourite criticism, critique 'hmm, I think you should be more creative' (i.e he really doesn't like it). And I even get 'why do you draw my head so round' and so on. This 'healthy criticism' is all very important, apparently.

Primarily he is a model, they are an uppity sort I am given to understand, but he is amazing at making coffee, breakfast, tea, and doing the dishes, and he brings some pretty great ideas to the couch, albiet a bit late in the game sometimes, but all the same, he is irreplaceable.

The Drawingdan Team at work

There's always a laugh to be had (at someones expense) and a cup of coffee in the Drawingdan Studio, so if you would like one, come on over and hang out in our studio with us! We love all types of new people! As long as you're nice, moderate, fun, not male, not a cat, have a sense of humour, like foreigners, can take criticism but not give it, are tolerant of others, you like Terry Pratchett, or at the very least are willing to acknowledge his greatness and you like coffee, as long as you're all that come along - we love all new people! :)

If you're a cat don't even think about it.  Dogs welcome.
