Maybe call them tile drawings or something? I too was expecting something like drawball when I read "collaborative drawing." Quilts, patchworks, lots of words to play off here.

Get the artists' permission to use their work in the design of the site. It'd be more interesting than the grey that's there now, and would also help to show what's going on. The first image would be great for getting visitors' attention.

The name's a bit tricky. You could rename it to whatever name you come up with to describe the whole process. (I don't think Tzigla is sticky enough to become that name on its own)

Prints of this stuff could be really popular with people who like psychedelic art (which is a lot of people). Maybe that's your market? Of course, giving the artists their share is gonna be tricky (not to mention how fast the money/art clash can ruin your community).

I'd say build up your community before worrying about monetizing it. (I have to run now, before an angry mob forms)




The irony: in romanian, Tzigla (Țiglă) means roof tile
