Watch the Big Draw

So, without giving too much away, we’re planning kind of a big project for later in the week, one that’s going to take 5,000 pennies, 40+ man hours, and some serious luck to pull off. We were debating if we’d bitten off more than we could chew when a friend sent us this. Artist Erik Nordenankar put a GPS tracker in a briefcase and handed it to DHL, along with a long series of instructions for where to mail it. Fifty-five days later, when it was returned back to his home, he entered the data into a computer, plotted the route on a map and, low and behold, he’d pulled it off: The biggest drawing ever.

The moral of the story? There’s no such thing as biting off more than you can chew. Life’s biggest smiles start with life’s biggest dreams.

NOTE: In the minutes since we posted this, we’ve gotten no less than three emails saying it’s a hoax. And now the site itself has even been updated (and, strangely, backdated) to reflect this. It’s cool though, it was just the motivation we needed to move forward with the very real penny project. Stay tuned.
