Dear Insider,

This month I want to send everyone a drawing. This post is a complicated way to make that happen.

The SneakyArt (Insider) Post is written for paying subscribers and superfans of SneakyArt. Every Sunday it features exclusive rewards and giveaways (like today!), notes from ongoing projects, and deeper thoughts from my journey of self-education as an artist and writer.

If you are a free reader, grab the summer deal to become a SneakyArt Insider and get a drawing too.

Let us write tiny stories.

Yesterday, I went to the Little Italy neighbourhood and sat outside an Italian cafe with a cappuccino. In a very Italian way, my chair faced not the table but the street itself. I did the appropriate thing - watched all the people walking up and down the street. Those tiny people, who know nothing of these drawings, are going to become the subjects of our stories.

How to play the Game of Tiny People:

  1. Pick a tiny person below.

  2. Write a tiny story for the tiny person of your choice in the comments section.

  3. Read the tiny stories of others.

  4. Add to them or simply like the ones you enjoy.

Every Insider gets an original drawing.

All you have to do is play the game. For example,

“Eeee! Can we go in there, daddy?”

“It’s a supermarket.”

“I know! Can we go?”

“Of course,” sighed Super-Dad.
