We are feverishly figuring out how to squeeze yet more Pictoplasma into a social-distancing friendly digital format, while remaining true to the original community spirit. Expect parallel panel discussions, private portfolio reviews, revisiting friends, doodle lounge sessions, workshop spaces, and—if we manage to pull it off—maybe also a ‘Character Chatroulette!’
