This is a cooperative drawing!  A group of artists friends of mine get together once a week. We draw, talk and eat.  Every now and then we do a group project.  This was done by 9 different artists.  We each got a tile or two and did what is known as a Zentangle. http://www.zentangle.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=frontpage&Itemid=99

Or to me, a doodle.  Then they were rearranged in the right order to create our picture.  There is a method to this process you can read about that gives the whole a cohesiveness from it's parts. It was a lot of fun and gave us all some great creative ideas!
