Should CN bring back the fan art?

[Zorak Masaki]

I was watching an old tape of tenchi universe i taped off of CN from 2001 and i came upon one of the toonami fan art features. Does anyone think CN should bring back this for their shows? They may not have the time to have a whole feature, but maybe put up a pic of a character as a bumper for a show. Adult Swim occasionally will show fan art/fan creations in their bumps, and with the popularity of sites like deviantart, it shows that fan art is still popular and it would be a great way for fans young and old to show their creativity.

I know Thurop Van Orman is trying to do that for his show. He managed to get one montage aired during the Love Hears/Whale Times episode.

They did, less than a month ago.

Since they stopped accepting fan art via mail due to the anthrax attacks, the only way it'd work would be to do an internet version (A la Thurop) - but honestly, with anyone and everyone submitting art it'd probably be expensive to staff said position - especially if they promoted it.

Additionally it'd be difficult to explain the guidelines to kids - since all on-air art now has to be scanned in a rather large dimension to gel with their new(ish) HD Standards.

I'd love it if they could do it (and it's not impossible) - anything that encourages kids to get their art on is wonderful; but I can' almost hear the executive mind-think suggesting it's just not worth the trouble.
