THE ORIGIN OF DRAING CUMULUS

In 2011, TOYSREVIL organized and hosted an illustration contest, whereby folks were asked to interpret a character created by Jonathan Edwards (@Jontofski) by the name of "INSPECTOR CUMULUS", who at the time of the contest was made into a vinyl figure by (the now defuncted) Crazy Label toys, who had co-sponsored the prizes, which included said vinyl toy, as as well sketchbooks and original art by Jonathan himself.

The Top Winners were picked by 3 Judges - namely Jonathan himself, Andy Woo (of Crazy Label), and Andy Heng ("Me" of TOYSREVIL).

I was keen to hold a "drawing contest" on my blog, and with the advent of a "toy" that came with said illustrated character, was a perfect match to the blog and my sensibilities! I had initially bugged both Jonathan and Andy Woo about being apart of this scheme, and to sponsor prizes for the contest, and I am glad they came on board, with their generosity, and time spent on deliberating and deciding the winners.

"Drawing Cumulus" is one of the most satisfying contests I had organized and managed thru my decade in blogging (till now in 2015), and remains a triumphant close to my heart. As well it was of the most successful "illustration" contest on the predominantly "toys" blog that which is TOYSREVIL, and I think that is pretty swell notion!

Cheers
Andy
