User Sketches!
Well it took a lot less time than I thought it would, which basically means I am the l33t3st c0d3R in the world. Yongfook.com now has a USER SKETCH feature (look at the sidebar), meaning people can draw, well, whatever the hell they like. Have fun with it, but try not to be too abusive.
For those who care, this is all running off a pretty cunning combination of Flash, php and a MySQL database. If people are interested in me syndicating the last 5 sketches for their blog, I can give you a little code snippet to put into your sidebar etc once I tidy everything up a bit.
You can see the last 5 sketches on this site, and the sketch pad and archive of the last 100 sketches will always be available at http://www.yongfook.com/printclub/. OS X Tiger users, I am also going to make this into a widget for dashboard.
Cheers and have fun!
someone clearly has a wacom tablet - I am blown away by the quality of some of these sketches. Of course, the majority are DEPRESSINGLY awful.
Anyway to give a bigger canvas and then have it shrunk in the printing?
sure, but you aren’t getting it.
I like how constrained it is, which makes the pictures turn out crap and funny.
Dashboard widget? You know Objective-C? I must say you impress me ol’ chap.
Sorry I just adjusted the script slightly so that it saves the pictures as gifs instead of jpegs. Otherwise my server space would have started to fill up rather quickly. The database had to be wiped but it shouldn’t happen again - please resume regular drawing of naked women and anime characters.

that’s the most awesome thing I have ever seen.
This is the acest idea ever! Nice one.
Any chance of different colours?? :)
I have 50p of electricity left before I’m hit with two days black-out and I’m using it all on this stupid thing. I have food to keep frozen - Damn you. DAMN YOU TO HELL.
It is highly addictive, isn’t it? My favourite ones so far apart from the disgustingly graphic or offensive ones, have been:
Jesus loves bukkake
Vomit is rad
and
“anal beads”
These pictures are all being saved so even once you can’t see them (up to 69 pictures at the moment) their record in the database is still preserved, so eventually once I get round to expanding the software, I’ll make it so you can view the archives via month and maybe even give the sketches a rating. So keep drawing - they don’t “disappear” off the server after they get pushed off the page, it’s all still there.
actually I’m kinda REALLY curious as to who drew which dodgy doodles! Mainly the boobs c**ts A-holes and phallic objects. Must be a whole community of horny geezers that read your ‘blog’ (or some kind of sex-bot whose only function is to doodle) (a character I imagine that only belongs to your world)
What about the little kids who end up here after searching for ‘my small penis’ in google and to their mum’s horror find.. BOOBS and A-holes? and bukakke related…*blahblahbl..
I have this sneaking suspicion that yongfook has been sitting at his computer drawing penis after vagina after penis, fooling us all into believing that it is in fact WE that are the sick bastards. You sly dog.
no no I assure you that only a very tiny minority of these demented child-like crayon scratchings is me. Although I’ll be first to admit, when I do draw something, it usually involves a penis or a vagina. I’m old-school.
well, it’s good to see that these people have humour! Or maybe they don’t even know it? Hell - who needs entries anymore :P
Your user sketches are making your site NSFW! I think I just got in trouble…
Slight bug, if you’re drawing and go outside the POSTAGE - F*CKING - STAMPTED size canvas the drawing tool goes mental and you can’t stop drawing, like some sort of maniac with crayons.
Apart from that, this this is great web innovation YF I’m just p*ssed because I got mid-way through my drawing of someone being smashed in the balls with a giant bonze ‘why’.
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have given it a second go!
if monet was alive today he would say of YF’s sketch-a-thon:-
“ooh la la! c’est fantastique! “
Mr T:-
“I Pity the Fool!”
Bush:-
“God Dammit…the Damn holes to small! Powell, Blow it open with some C4…I love the smell of Napalm in the morning…”
China man:-
“Belly Goood! Belly Stupit! But Belly Good!”
Just to let people know, there are over 600 images in the database now. In the space of only 2 days, that is pretty impressive. I’ll definitely be expanding this concept now that I’ve seen how popular it is.
… most of your readers seem to have a (mental) age of 6-14, or a strange penis-obsession, the latter probably caused by the smegma-/penis-related jokes in your articles. maybe you should arrange a penis-and-tits-drawing-contest and reward the winner with a visit to a sex-therapist…
holy cats pajamas, batman! that looks like a trackback if i ever saw one!
I just had a little tinker with the code: http://www.yongfook.com/printclub/
So now you can click on a picture to get a page that displays only that picture, for linking. Some of my favourites today are: http://www.yongfook.com/printclub/display.php?id=1036 http://www.yongfook.com/printclub/display.php?id=1021 and http://www.yongfook.com/printclub/display.php?id=1032
Full archive, blog syndication and a voting system are on the way.

That fuck whales one might be one of my favorites as well. He’s just SO happy.
lol, i did the save the whales one. the people who visit this site are twisted biatches.
Christ. I have been busy and neglecting your site and now look at it. Great stuff. I need love.
holy crap! that sketch book function is so cool!! i want one for my site too!!!!!
There’s a lot of talent on display in this micro-gallery. It’s not difficult to imagine swarms of insects flocking to it, enjoying insect-sized wine and hors d’oeuvres. “This one expresses pupal oppression so succintly but, I have to question the use of cross-hatching, as a rule” Pretentious katydid!
i googled for something completely different, but found your page… and have to say thanks. i like your site.
