An ArtCluster pic demonstrating my Follow the Leader game. It's very simple: Two or more artists on a digital whiteboard decide to draw the same thing. One artist leads and the others follow in real time. I was at a slight time disadvantage here because when I logged on, Kio was already well into his sketch. Also, as you can see in the chat transcript, a worn-out mouse is no match for a graphics tablet. (Kio's sketch is on the left, and my copy is on the right.)
