Tweets are no longer just the songs of small birds, they are messages sent via Twitter, a social networking site. Tweets are short (max 140 characters long) posts that users send out to update where they are, what they're thinking, what they had for breakfast (pancakes!), etc.
For this blog, at random times throughout the week, I hop over to "Everyone" on twitter.com and read through the 20 most recent (less than 5 secs ago) tweets. I pick one that really stands out to me, write it down, and it might become one of my text-based illustration.
Tweets are really fascinating snippets of a person's life. They can be poignant, humorous, or just plain random. I look forward to illustrating the tweets (hoping to do at least one/week) and invite other to do the same, or respond to a tweet in your own way!
