Scissors beats paper, rock beats scissors, paper beats rock and now it also beats internet over at PaperBeatsInternet.com. “Paper Beats Internet is an “analog” social networking site that useshand-rendered drawings as communications tools. Users post an initialdrawing on the Paper Beats Internet website, and others create commentand response drawings that work off of the first drawing’s theme.Besides being aesthetically pleasing, the time and care that goes into doing a drawing adds a sense of thought, warmth and depth to the usually quick, off-the-cuff world of social media.”
What makes this platform so nice is that artists with different styles interact and little artistic conversations are created. These are often fuelled by political or other social themes but the message is delivered with a smile (as following examples illustrate).
