NYC, Get Ready for Your Close-up

Earlier this year we took a look at Jason Polan's ambitious effort to draw every person in NYC. Well, starting today you can put yourself in front of his pencil and pad and help out his project, but more importantly 826NYC. Polan and fellow artist Jane Mount are teaming up with Jen Bekman and her 20x200 site for Thrilla in Manila; the event is a three-day draw-a-thon where the public is invited to draw, be drawn or learn how to draw. Supplies will be provided, and next Monday the portraits will be for sale at the gallery (on Tuesday they'll go up for grabs online).
