Bomomo, Yo

Bomomo is a really fun, addictive tool created by Philip Lenssen of Google Blogoscoped. It’s an interesting mix of Spirograph, Etch-a-Sketch, and MS Paint… all in a web app. It only works in Firefox for now, but IE users can perhaps look forward to a version for them soon.

Bomomo is pretty self-explanatory, but basically you choose a tool, move your mouse around, and click/hold to paint. Here’s an example of what I came up with about a minute of effort and, obviously, minimal artistic talent. Click on it for a full-resolution view:

Obviously, y’all can do better. To see how creative some of you are, we’re going to run a fun little competition. Create an awesome sketch on Bomono, save it (you’ll see how, it’s the little disk), and e-mail it to us here. Depending on the number we receive, we’ll post either all the entries or just the “best of”, and then get some voting going.

So download Firefox if you don’t use it already, head to Bomomo, and get creative!
