Last night at Falls Park I challenged local artist whiz, Kiel Mutschelknaus (we call him MagicMouse), to do his best at drawing a 12 second try. Kiel is the curator of an awesome site called Graphic Content and started the event DrawnTown. Last night was the 3rd Edition of DrawnTown. In honor, I allowed Kiel 3 opportunities at a 12 second try.

I was challenged to rip six nametags off in 12 seconds by Mr. Kyle Jameson or ksjameson on 12seconds.tv. Needless to say, this feat is checked off my bucket list, but that last one gave me trouble. How many nametags can you rip off?
