Canvas is a yearly Fediverse event similar to Reddit's Place - it's a collaborative art project where any Fediverse user can place colored pixels on a shared canvas over a period of a few days. It has a dedicated community at [email protected] - the canvas itself is here.

This will be its third year; the first time, there were some minor furry drawings, and last year, we were a bit more organized, with a bit of collaboration between Pawb and Yiffit. The full canvas from last year can be seen here - we had a small spot carved out in the lower left corner, as well as a few scattered things all around.

I'd be great to actually start organized this year, and create something substantial together.

Anyone else interested in participating? Any thoughts on what we might make? Anyone with artistic skill want to sketch something out? If we can get a few ideas, maybe we vote on them prior to the event itself?

I'm all for using Matrix. Re: the design, we could potentially put together something akin to the paw from last year that we start with (something that clearly says 'There's furries working on this' as a sort of rallying flag to anyone else who wanted to join in), then coordinate satellite drawings via Matrix. If we post the initial design in the coordination thread, with a link to the matrix chat, we could potentially get some other folks to help, too (and contribute their own smaller things).

Having a "furry corner" was nice last year, but given that our designs aren't really integrated into one thing that has to be kept together, it probably makes sense to take this approach.
