Under Thunderdome for Artists

Here's a fun time-waster if you're interested in digital arts - Layer Tennis.

"Layer Tennis is a series of live design events on Friday afternoons presented by Adobe® Creative Suite® 4.

"Two competitors swap a file back and forth in real-time, adding to and embellishing the work. Each artist gets fifteen minutes to complete a "volley" and then we post that to the site live.

"The players may be designers, animators, illustrators or pretty much anything else, and they can use any tool or application they like. The match progresses volley by volley.

"A third participant, a writer, provides play-by-play commentary on the action as it happens.The match lasts for ten volleys and when it's complete, opinioned Season Ticket Holders sound off and we declare a winner. Check Tennis HQ for more information and links to past matches."

You can click on any round to date to see the face-offs and commentary.
