"You can draw drones too.
"The first Drone Shadow was drawn by myself and Einar Sneve Martinussen in London, in January 2012. Since then, I have painted more in Istanbul, Brighton, and Washington DC. A commissioned shadow in Brisbane in 2013 was censored by the state government, but others have been created in Sao Paolo,
Detroit and elsewhere. This handbook is a guide to creating more."Why would you want to draw a drone?
"Drones are used in wars and covert operations worldwide, by many countries. They are used to surveil, to fight, to assassinate, to police, to deter migrants - and to study hurricanes and fight forest fires. But they remain largely
invisible, in part due to the manner of their operation, flying for long periods high in the atmosphere, and in part because the political motivations for their use prefer
to remain obscure."– James Bridle
