Johanna Basford an illustrator from my hometown Aberdeen, has just completed the first interactive illustration using the micro-blogging platform Twitter. Basford asked her Twitter followers to contribute ideas for her to incorporate into an illustration which she put together live over two days updating every stage with a picture of the slowly forming piece. In the project named TwitterPicture, she used every suggestion made (238) to create the print of which you can now buy a limited edition silk screen print. The whole project has received a fair bit of exposure over the last few days and is well worth a look.
