June Contest #1 Win an Original Pen and Ink Drawing

June 5, 2009 By 79 Comments

We`ve finally arrived at the first contest ever held at this website.
We’re pretty stoked around here about the impending release of Optimum Wound Volume One in early September. It hits the Previews catalog on June 24th.

So we’re celebrating by holding contests all month.
This will be the first of four held in June. Every Friday we`ll be offering up prizes of escalating coolness. This week features a 11″ by 12″ pen and ink drawing. You can win this artwork by following the rules below.

It’s a drawing of my main character Starkweather from Battles Without Living Witnesses. It’s 12 inches tall and 11 inches wide (30cm x 27.5cm), India ink on acid-free paper. AND IT”S YOURS TO WIN.

As an added bonus I’ll throw in a copy of Danijel Zezelj’s Rex in the package.

THE RULES

Just answer this question in the comments section.
What have you accomplished so far in 2009 that you’re most proud of?

1. Just leave a comment on this blog, that’s it.
2. You’re only allowed to post once. I read every comment so I’ll know.
3. Private messages or emails don’t count, it has to be posted on this blog.
4. You have to leave a comment before 11.59pm PST on Monday, June 8th, 2009 to be eligible. I’ll add up the number of comments and use a random number generator to select the winner. Then I’ll contact the winner by email and announce them publicly next Friday, June 12th on the Contest #2 blog.
5. This contest is open to ANYONE in the world. If I have to pay shipping to South Africa or New Zealand, that’s MY problem.

Good luck everyone.

    I wrote my first ever short story, finished a comic for Comic-Con, and found out that a company that hired me was committing fraud so I turned down the job even though I really needed it. You have to have principles.

    I love your work, by the way. Great use of negative space. Cheers!

    For 2009, I have accomplished the continuing deed of helping the needy.
    Other than that, I changed my way of eating.

    Have a great weekend.

    I have five pages inked of my 20 page issue of my second comic series. I won an Excellence in Drawing award at college and the Presidential Arts Scholarship this week also at college. Just finished my one week crash course in Typography. I’m having a pretty good art year so far. Relationships, work, and other things need attention now.

    Thank you, for holding such a wonderful giveaway, I truly appreciate it! I am a 3 time cancer survivor (age 10, brain tumor[Menegeoma], age 21 Uterine Cancer [discovered when I was 6 months pregnant], age 36 skin cancer), as well as a 30% Service Connected Disabled Veteran (US Army 6 years). I am adopting my Husbands Boys that have been living with my Husband and I for 11 years, after my Husbands X stabbed him the in the stomach, in front of the boys. One needs a heart transplant (his heart is functioning at 30%, One is Bipolar, and one has post traumatic stress and Oppositional defiant disorder. I have tried to teach my kids, that nothing is so bad, that you can not over come it. Laughter goes a long way to making yourself, and those around you feel better. I refuse to go to bed angry, and I refuse to wake up angry. I try and make the most out of every day (including taking time to stop and smell the roses). I just turned 46, and have done so much…I lived in Europe, I sang in a band, I play Cello and Bass, I love my kids, I have a great Husband…and you know, I don’t think I would have done so much if I had not had cancer. My personal philosophy about life reflects the Tim McGraw song “Live like you’re dying” P.S. The thing I am most proud of in 2009, is my son (the one with bipolar) getting a job, and doing a great job in School (top 5% of his class, he graduates next year) and of his understanding that the Lithium he takes is making a HUGE difference in how he handles life!

    Congrats Margo, you are this week’s winner. You get the art and the book. As mentioned in the rules I used a random number generator to pick the winner. And it sounds like you are well on your way to achieving your goals.

    I released my first official art print, featured on this site in the “Top 5 reasons to use ink”. It was a financial success, and is leading me to belive the whole starving artist thing is a myth (for hard working artists at least) and also showed the number of people who supported me and care about detailed and creative work.

    Oh my gosh, it’s so nice to find another pen and ink artist! I’m always afraid they have all died off and I’m wandering around the college art world alone until I graduate and then I’ll be like the last unicorn alive/last pen and ink artist who can still hold a pen. Anyway, great work!
