• The Drawing Club is a multi-authored site which has its own Flickr group and Yahoo group. It was started by members of the EDM community , including Michael Nobbs.

• Illustration Friday: Many of our members participate in IF's weekly illustration challenges. From the founder, Penelope Dullaghan: Illustration Friday is a weekly creative outlet/participatory art exhibit for illustrators of all skill levels. It was designed to challenge participants creatively. I believe that every person has a little creative bone in their body. Illustration Friday just gives a no-pressure, fun excuse to use it. No clients looking for a particular thing. No one judging the outcome of the work. It's a chance to experiment and explore and play with visual art. So welcome, novices and pros alike.

• Moleskinerie: A wide, ranging, fascinating exploration of everything people are doing with those wonderful little black books.
