PIPA and SOPA are federal acts that can potentially wreck the internet. It is supposed to be stopping copyright infringement and online piracy by censoring the web of all things that are not owned by the writer, or artist, etc., like the Art Drawer (possibly). It will be voted upon by Congress on January 24, 2012. It is taking COMPLETELY down YouTube, Wikipedia, all fan-made websites, fan art websites, fan fiction websites, drawing tutorials of TV characters, EVERYTHING. Two of my own blogs could be taken down (Harry Potter-referencing ones).
Click here for more information! This is a blog I did with six of my friends. I wrote the first post! It gives you information about PIPA and SOPA and how we can make a difference in their rulings (not as in, take away Congress's power, but to change their decision).

The Past Year
**NOTE: I saved this as a draft and forgot to post it...
The past year has been a wonderful one! We have written short stories, posted weird videos, posted funny videos, posted some videos with a point, some without. We have realized that people all over the world are (hopefully) enjoying our weirdness (if not, why do you keep coming back, any of you?). We have probably gotten a few more viewers from Seattle. I don't know. I wasn't there. But we were together all year long, even though we were apart (keep reading! It isn't gonna be sappy!... Okay, maybe a little, but read on!).
I really do entirely curse the day,
When those UHaul trucks took my RK away.
(^not promoting or de-promoting. Just making a metaphor^)
Thanks for sticking with us through all the weirdness; and let me tell ya, there was a LOT of it.
In the coming year, we would continue to make funny and cool videos, and write cool stuff, and do whatever it is RK does, but, as we all know, that is the Apocalypse.
Love,
The Art Drawer

Assignment
I go to drama class every Monday, and we just got back to it after the break, so this was everyone's first day back. Anyway, there were SO many new people, and we were running short in scripts to do. We had all decided on a light-hearted, lightly funny serious one with a deeper meaning, but not, like, sad or dark, or anything. I mean, serious can be a little sad, but it isn't all sad...
ANYWAY,
I have taken it upon myself to write one by next week. :)
If any of you are fellow playwrights or writers, feel free to email us any scripts or ideas you have! I will not take credite for them or anything. :) I mean, if I write the play with your idea, I will take the writing credit, but I will say something like, "Originally by so-and-so," or something.

The Art Drawer Logo! *UPDATE!* Entry #2, 3, and 4
[SORRY FOR THE MIX UP. THIS POST WAS DELETED SOMEHOW, SO I AM JUST REPOSTING IT. I AM NOT GOING CRAZY.]

This next one comes from Molly J. The only way I could get it was from a low resolution picture of her logo, so we apologize for the pixilation. Her real one was much better than this.

Our first entry comes from Toot or Anna. She has been commenting on some of our posts. Here is her entry:
This is pretty much what we were asking for. Very good idea and attention to detail. Good job, Toot or Anna!! Did you know that both of those names are palindromes?
Nice work!

Doctor Who Contest Results *CONTEST NOW CLOSED*
Thank you to all who participated in the Doctor Who Creativity Contest! Everyone here behind the scenes of the Art Drawer really appreciated how creative your entries were. Every single one of us, technicians, writers, comedy writers, actors and more all enjoyed seeing the wonderful drawings and buildings. I am sure Doctor Who would, too.
The Results:
First up, we have KingofRandom with his really cool manga drawing!
(Text: Text Box:
"Today's Lecture: Time
Guest Speeker: The Doctor"
Chart: Time [arrow] Wibbly wobbly timey wimey"
"Zander Krasny")
We really liked the idea! Never would have thought of it! Thanks, KingofRandom!
Second, we have moonembrace! She has sent us two pictures of her creations. She made CRAYON TARDISES!!!!!!!! I was quite impressed with her creativity. She tells us the photo quality was bad, so she tells us these are crayon Tardises. Thanks!!
Those were our winners (Both tied for first place). Sorry for the wait, but creativity never ceases! If you are inspired by these winners and want to enter your own idea, feel free! The contest is still open, but our winners have already been chosen. Thanks!!

4 Month Anniversary
Yay! We have kept the Art Drawer going for 4 months so far. I hope we have a lot of great readers, nay, I know we do. You guys have stayed with us through thick and thin, through bad writing days and good writing days. And weird days. A heck of a lot of weird days. But that is beside the point. The point is, thanks. The point is, the Art Drawer is not only here for our enjoyment, but yours, too. And we hope you have enjoyed the Art Drawer so far, because there is a lot of it left! Because November is the 4th month of the Art Drawer, AND National Novel Writing Month, why don't you write some fan fiction of CB and RK's daily lives? You can leave them in the comments. You know, what you think we are like based on our posts. Thanks! Hahaha!

www.NaNoWriMo.org
Do any of you like to write? Well, November is the national novel writing month! Or NaNoWriMo for short. This is a national activity that encourages the art of literature.
Every year, published and celebrated authors and even regular people are challenged to write 50,000 words or more by the end of November. It is a fictional book that was completely started and finished within the month of November.
You can't have written any part of it or even outlined it. You can have an idea starting in your head, but try not to think too much about the plot, since many people outline books in their heads.
If you want to sign up, it is free and it is a very trusted website. www.nanowrimo.org is the URL. Remember, when you are making your quick and easy account, click the button that says you are 13 and up, because this means the website is not violating the law that no personal information may be solicited from children 12 years and younger over the internet. It means you knowingly give your permission to have an account created.
I entered a few days ago, and I have been waiting for three painstaking days to start writing, and today is November 1 so I began writing. I have 494 words of 50,000 so far. I might just make it. The goal is 1,667 words a day. In 30 days. Do you think I can do it? Do you think YOU can do it? Even if you aren't going to participate, do you think you WOULD be able to do it? Leave your answers in the comments!
Good luck and get writing!
Every fictional novel has a main question, a question that decides the plot. What is yours?

The Art Drawer Logo!
CONTEST: Please email us your idea for an Art Drawer logo!
Guidelines:
The logo MUST include:
Be creative!
It must be legible, eye catching, easy to read, and interesting. Also, if possible, try to make is compact. Look at the iCarly logo. It says clearly iCarly, it catches your eye with its vibrant colors, and it is small and compact.
Try to stay away from too much detail, because if your idea is chosen, we will have to redraw it and enter it into the computer and trace it on, and too much detail isn't easy for that.
Also, you muSt be open to critiquing.*
Good luck!! The contest will close when we receive the winning logo. No deadline! There is no material prize, just mention on the Dedication page, a post about your logo, and, with permission**, your logo will be used as the logo FOR the Art Drawer!!
Have fun! All entrants will be mentioned in the final post.
AND DON'T FORGET TO SIGN YOUR FIRST NAME AND LAST INITIAL REAL SMALL IN THE CORNER OR SOMETHING. When we draw it out and do stuff to get it onto the computer, your first name and last initial will be written quite small in the corner or somewhere. Also, if you could, please include your name written in the email. Just so we spell it right.
*This means that we might change your logo a bit to fit our needs. Say you drew this really good drawing, and you forgot to add .blogspot in the .com. We would have to change that, now wouldn't we? This means just basically means you are okay with us possibly changing it a bit, but you would still get full credit. :)
**To stay away from copyright and royalty stuff, when you send us your entry, you are saying that you knowingly have sent us a picture that may potentially be the logo, and that we have the rights to it. We aren't saying you can't draw it afterward, but you can't say that you yourself own it. We own it after you send it (you will still have full credit for drawing and designing it, though). Also, just to be sure you know, you must include in your email that you give us permission to use it as our logo. Just incase.

Doctor Who Contest
Who watches Doctor Who on BBC or BBC America? It is a show about an alien called a Timelord who is the last Timelord left. He calls himself the Doctor. He is in love with the Human race and does his best to save us from aliens and possible threats, like machine aliens called Daleks, stone angels that move, and many more! He travels around the universe in a big blue time machine police box that is bigger on the inside, and it is called a TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space). Also, it has been going since the 50's. The Doctor regenerates when he is dying, and that means the studio can switch actors. If you DO watch Doctor Who, you should participate in this contest!
moonembrace is on of our followers. She is also one of my close friends. She LOVES Doctor Who, so I thought she would enjoy this contest.
Please send in a picture of something creative you made from the show! I just made a paper TARDIS, and I saw online some pictures of people dressing up as their favorite Doctors from certain seasons. Whatever you want to do, just be creative and please read the Safety Online Rules and Regulations at the bottom of this post.
Since this is a CB contest, please email to itsbumpybackhere@gmail.com to enter. Please include a nickname for us to call you, because all pictures and FIRST/NICKNAMES will be posted! None of your personal info will be shared with anyone, also because you WON'T BE GIVING US ANY, right?
Good luck! This contest ends when we have at least 5 entries. The winner will be chosen soon after, but everyone will be mentioned! :D

OMG!!! My Play Is Being Staged!!!!
I wrote a play about a Jeopardy!™episode, except it is with fairytale characters and it is called Jeopardy! the Celebrity and Guest Episode. I think it is pretty cool! In my drama class, we are gonna read it today, and if everyone likes it, we might be able to actually have a show of it! I might film some of our reading today and then post it here, if the kids give their permission. Then, for the play, I am SO posting it!!! :D
Also, Miss Pam says that if we DO end up doing it, I can be the FULL ON DIRECTOR!!!! I was thinking director's assistant, but, okay! Haha! Can't wait! We are reading it in the Monday class (today) and the Wednesday class. Fun! :D
I will update you on it after the class. Lurv ya!
