Canvas 2026 has concluded!
Thank you all for participating, it’s been a blast as always! 💜
Canvas 2026 ran from July 18th @ 4am UTC - July 20th @ 4am UTC
Feedback & Future Events
Hope you enjoyed the event as much as I and the moderators did! If you have any feedback, feature requests, or really anything, drop it in this thread (include any fun event ideas you have as well!)
Canvas Prints ✨
Bringing the Canvas prints back this year, but only for like 2 weeks. Once August 1st rolls around, the shop will close again. (You’ll also be able to buy any previous year’s prints)
International shipping is a pain, so this year the shop will only let you checkout with an address in the United States. But! if you are wanting to get a print, but are not in the US, fill out this form and I’ll see what I can do :)
Source
Just as always, Canvas is an open source project! If you want to take a peek at the code, report and issue directly to the tracker, or even contribute yourself, the source is available on sc07.dev
You can register either with your Fediverse account, or with an email and password. Unfortunately due to a lot of casino bots, registration is behind an approval queue. Send an email to hello@sc07.com if you’d like to ensure I see it

As always, thank you so much for participating! Every contribution makes the Canvas what it is 💜💜💜 - grant (https://grants.cafe/@grant / @grant@toast.ooo)
Had an amazing time? https://tips.sc07.com/ (credit/debit) or Venmo @sc07_
The picture top right is just amazing. I love it so much.
Of all the things on this, the one I’m most confused about is the Serious Sam logo.
I want to say thanks to grant and the mods for hosing this! It’s so much fun to work together with everyone to cover as much canvas as possible and make such cool art.
This event was the most fun I’ve had in a while! I appreciate how respectful most contributors were of others’ artwork. It felt good to both contribute to others’ projects, and to see others contributing to things I started. It came out amazing! Looking forward to the next event!
Never underestimate the power of a bunch of autists
Thanks again to @siv9939@lemmy.zip for designing the tribute to GeekFTW
It was my pleasure to do something in honor of our fallen homie.
TIL this happened.
yea it’s always a struggle getting the event out lol
for this year I did setup a mailing list, so the posts don’t get lost on your feed (and if you check your email regularly)
https://lists.sc07.com/postorius/lists/events-announcements.lists.sc07.com/
So many hidden easter eggs! Great artwork :)
This was absolutely amazing, thank you so much to the organizers!! I can’t wait for next year :D
Didn’t know this was a thing but I appreciate the Germans telling Merz to lick balls.
Graphic design is our passion.
Oh yeah, a few weeks back a protester on some demonstration had a sign saying “Merz leck Eier” (lick eggs/balls, same diff), and the police confiscated the sign and charged them with “an insult to a political official capable of damaging their public work” (roughly translated), an obviously preposterous state of affairs even if you ignore the fact that we apparently have Lèse-majesté-laws again. Hence the well earned ridicule.
atleast we got a nice song out of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcB4zu4KX10 (collab version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGsh7yh7iSE)
Maybe we should try calling him “1 pimmel” next?
Anzeige is sent, get ready for your personal Hausdurchsuchung
Thank you so much for organising this again! Canvas is always such a cool event and really shows how much cool stuff people can make when they work together :3
It seems much more full this time
I remember placing a couple pixels on the first canvas event. That was a few years ago. What a ride this has been
Yeah! At first I was disappointed to see not very much leftist stuff around. So after we finished Souly the Soulism Ball, I lead the antirealists and a few volunteers in constructing the WOKE ZONE with tons of leftist stuff!
Thank you for all your work. The last years I thought you must be one of the graybearded fediwizards, judging by how well this event is run. But after watching your Fireside Fedi episode, I have to say it’s nice to see that young people are building awesome stuff for the fediverse.
Thanks to everyone for your colorful pixels, participating in cursor dances and the minimal use of country flags. This was a lot of fun.
I have to second this. The Fireside talk was a nice behind the scenes view and I appreciate Grant even more!
Thanks everyone for participating <3 Hope to see you all next year again
The cursor dance party at the end was great
This was super fun again!
Thanks to everyone who participated on the Home Arcade on the right side of the canvas! When I woke up on Sunday to see it completed, it felt like a miracle!
I helped with the butt
Can’t resist caking it up, I see !
You may have started the wave of poop vandalism with that
Oh I must’ve missed that 😬 lol
