June Contest #1 Win an Original Pen and Ink Drawing

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.

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.
-Jay

    I had lines from an interview swiped by CNN, that was kinda neat.

    But bigger I think, was finding myself in a position to give back to friends who had been holding me up the last year, that was just awesome/beautiful.

    Missed the question, can you delete my last comment? I am most proud of our new baby girl, Ella. She was born in March and is a sweety. She giggled for the first time today. My wife and I also finished a feature script recently…a very distant second, but very cool.

    I think the thing that I am most proud of for this year so far, is that not only did I forge my way past an abusive husband’s words and go back to school, but I made the Dean’s List, got offered a job with the University’s writing center and a tutoring position for my English professor’s class. It helped me feel as though I proved him wrong. :}

    I came to the realization that I really want to be a concept artist, more than anything, and so I’m trying to work hard and build a portfolio and dream big, hopefully I’ll get my chance somewhere along the way! :)
