April Samitomoto Drawing Competition!

'A calm violet dog wearing cowboy boots', by Samantha.

Hello every one,

I'm so pleased to announce that three months from launching, the first run of the Samitomoto drawing game has sold out and we have gone into the second production run!

That means there are thousands of Samitomoto drawings out there and hundreds of people having lots of creative fun and embracing the game, that's fabulous!

The list of fantastic shops stocking the game is growing, you can see it here. We really do want to see bundles of Samitomoto creative magical fun spreading out across Australia and the world, so if you have any retailer suggestions, we'd love to hear them!

Now on to serious news...
