"TheSheepMarket.com is a collection of the first 10,000 sheep made by workers on Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Workers were paid 0.02 ($USD) to "draw a sheep facing to the left." Animations of each sheep's creation may be viewed at TheSheepMarket.com."
And if browsing through 10,000 hastily drawn sheep isn't enough for you, you can download Aaron Koblin's 42-page thesis on the project to have him "explore the discourse surrounding commoditization of human labor, the connotations of sheep, and the techniques of visualizing governance within the realm of media art." Go on!

That's fun but there just isn't enough time in my day to sit there and view them all...

I'm not really sure I can articulate why...but it is oddly fascinating to click on sheep and watch them be drawn. What a fun find!
