A crowd-sourced celebration

Ninety crowd-sourced Mickey Mouse drawings layered together

To celebrate Mickey Mouse's 90th birthday, I asked ninety people to draw Mickey from memory. No reference, just whatever their mind conjured up. The results ranged from confident to chaotic, but the bet was that when you crowd-source an icon this deeply embedded in popular culture, the similarities will far outweigh the differences.

It paid off. Layering all ninety drawings on top of each other, the noise cancelled out and Mickey emerged, unmistakable.
