10eastern is a website known for its 'Drawings Boards' and its 'Found Photos' project.

[edit] Found Photos

The Found Photos project was started in March 2004 when it was discovered that personal photos could be found by searching with a p2p filesharing program (mostly used to share music and video). The website displays "... pictures that will make you smile or display interesting photography" [1] and is very selective.

[edit] Drawings Boards

The 'Drawrings' Boards were started in the spring of 2004, with the use of a java applet (Oekaki BBS ver.1.31) that lets you draw (much like MS Paint) and display your image results with a comment. It also lets other people comment on your image.

The most popular board is the "Anything Drawrings Board" which, as of January 2007^[update], has over 15.000 drawings.

The other drawing board are themed and include :

• Anything Midnight - night time theme
• Anything Temp - drawings done after the hacker attack when everything else was down.
• Collab! - a board that allows for collaborative drawings.
• Green Door Alley - drawings drawn by the user 'sheep' which describe a story (with drawings and text). Your comments "help decide the aktion."
• Topic Attack - drawings based around one topic.

Boards that archive drawings include :

• Make Draw Gallery - images from various gallery shows where drawings have been printed out and displayed.
• Collective Journal Scans - scans from the 10eastern journal that is being sent around the world.
• Drawr Galleries - galleries from specific users and themes.
