I just discovered a really cool and FREE website called Drawings by Mail (http://www.mikegodwin.org/). Basically, it's a form that asks for your name, address, and image request. Fill out the form, click submit, and the site's creator (Mike Godwin or one of his assistants) will draw your request and mail it to you free of charge.

If the reviews at StumbleUpon (http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.mikegodwin.org/) and this blog (http://greatstumbles.blogspot.com/2006/10/drawings-by-mail-follow-up.html) are any guide, this actually works -- and there are no catches.

Here is a piece one person recieved:

God knows what he asked for...

Anyway, the site is still pretty unknown, so go ahead and request something (http://www.mikegodwin.org/) before he gets swamped!

Woot! I love free things!

I asked for a clown.

:)

I asked for Ruffy Naked. :eek:.....with clown shoes and groucho marx mustache on:p

Oh, this guy is going to live to hate Fark.com...

A small red "x" in a box perhaps?

I thought it was a "403 error"...

Hmm...maybe tomorrow, if I can think of something.

I asked for friendship and pondered if I will ever hear from him…(also I’m pondering what I will get)

Isn't it a techno-œuf?

Hey, guess what I asked for. It'll be nice to get at least something like chocolate in the mail...;)

Saw that on the blog, but the pic link gave me a 403. It was a very prettily drawn error, though.

When I have a spare day to make the hour-long walk to the post office and wait for another hour in the queue, sure. What do I get out of this, anyway?

See? Pleasure.

The catch is that he gives your name and adress to every stalker, burglar, serial killer and haxz0r in the world.

How thrilling.

Alright, the picture's fixed -- sorry for the delay (I was in the shower). It's odd, since it worked fine for me. Maybe 'cause it was from Blogger? :confused:

Anyway, enjoy the cyber-egg...

I do that already. I figure everyone needs a new friend, so if Tommy Odle(#68) (http://www.soci.niu.edu/~critcrim/dp/illdp) wants to come visit, I'll give him my adress, and make him a pot o' tea!

i made a request

Any idea whether he posts internationally?

Meh, I don't care, I live on a University campus. Any junk mail just gets binned by the porters, and if any pyscho comes to my address they'll have a hard time picking me out amongst several thousand others.

whew - good thing I actually used it to play a prank on my neighbor

Any idea whether he posts internationally?
Nope, but I requested a picture anyway.

Surely stalkers already know where you live, burglars tend to be local, seial killers tend to be quite discriminating and haxz0rs are usually small, spotty tennages in person.

Hehehehe, that cracked me up. :p

Nope, but I requested a picture anyway.
Is that nope as in he doesn't send overseas or nope as in you don't know?

Hehehehe, that cracked me up. :p
Yeah, I asked for a picture of a quail's egg. Yes, I'm joking.

Nope as in I don't know.

I hope he posts internationally. I asked for a picture of a chocolate clown melting in the hot sun.

Yes, my life is that depressing.
