The Diurnal Drawings were a thing here on the Bend Press Web Machine several times in the past. They began in the early 2000s, posting one drawing a day (more or less) for several years. The posts were a home for many a drawer you may recognize. But, alas, like all good things, the Diurnals sank into oblivion by 2008, with a short round in 2017. Again, as 2021 reared it’s sometimes ugly head, again, for the 7th time. Now, in 2026 it remains dormant. Our apologies, we're still too tired to fire it up again.
We may bring it back in the future, but as of now, enjoy the back catalog.
SOME GUIDELINES
-
Drawings only. Sketches, doodles, marks. Any art based in drawing.
-
Can be made with pencil, pen, marker, brush, hair, bark, coal, etc. Again, based in drawing.
-
Must be sent in a digital format that is fit to post. No pixilated or out of focus drawings will be considered.
-
Keep in mind the Instagram feed and stories formats when submitting. We don’t like to crop.
-
Include any feeds and/or links you would like to share. All posted drawings will include the artist’s IG account name and/or website.
-
Please include your name and location with your drawing(s).
-
There is no limit to the amount of drawings you may submit, or the amount of times you are featured as the Diurnalist Drawer.
HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR DRAWINGS
Send toy our submissions for consideration. Submissions will only be accepted via DM at the @diurnaldrawings Instagram feed, or by email HERE. We post one drawing a day, every day.
WHOSE FAULT IS THIS?
Please keep in mind, though we love you all, and appreciate your interest in DD, not every drawing was published. That would would have impossible.
The Diurnal Drawings were curated by these three, MARK PENXA, DON PENDLETON, and ANDY JENKINS. If the three of them could not agree on a pick, final determination was to be made by fistfight, live somewhere on the interwebs. Thankfully, that situation never came up and the 3 of them remain fast friends.
BONUS
Drawer with the most likes at the end of the month (tallied from both @diurnaldrawings and @bendpressmachine), is inducted into the Drawing Of The Month Club and will receive a $10 gift certificate at the Bend Shop.
Thank You, drawers.
