But if the truth were known - it's only just now getting started, despite the arrival of AI!"

HOW TO LOAD THE DRAWTASTIC APP ONTO YOUR PHONE or DEVICE...
The DRAWtastic! app is not available through the usual app stores. This is because a small organization like ours cannot possibly afford the huge fees that most app stores take from our sales. Therefore, we have taken advantage of the wonderful Movement platform, which ensures that a much fairer percentage of our sales will actually reach us! The app however will still fully work on any of your desktops, phones or tablets - you just have to load it to your device first.
Here is the direct DRAWtastic! link to access the festival film and other goodies there... https://drawtastic.mvt.so.
