Fun Idea

Interesting concept. Would be a fun parlor game. Watching Shelby sketch was a bit too slow for me. Good info on copyrite & plagarism. I simulated a round & came up with watercolor+monkey+fly and had 2 or 3 ideas. But I can't draw; so executing the ideas would mean finding Google images and stitching them together digitally (I'm rather good at that - yay CorelDRAW) to make a copyable graphic.

Surprisingly Interesting/Useful

I didn't hold out much hope for this class because I thought it was a silly concept but I was wrong. Shelby did a good job of selling the whole idea and also demonstrating it with an amazing drawing. I see how I can use the dice to roll for inspiration. I see how I can use the prompts to get started when I am stuck. Bonus: information about using reference images--where to look, what to search for

My review

good fit; I like the idea of the game/randomness/building personal reference library... I do need to customize the tables for myself, I think.
