Contest: Character Illustration for the Over-Educated Nympho
It’s time to overhaul my website. If I want to be a professional writer, it helps if I look like a professional writer. (Oooh, I want my cool glasses back! Then I’d really look like a professional writer!) Which means my site needs to look as professional as possible. Especially if that helps ward off the perverts who think shit like this will get me to jump into bed with them.
One of the things I want to do is find a totally slammin’ character illustration of Vix the Over-Educated Nympho to post in the header of my homepage. Who better to ask than the many talented readers who visit my site every day? I’ve received so many emails from you telling me about your own dreams as an aspiring photographer, writer, screenwriter, dancer, singer, entrepreneur–and that is awesome. So I figure that we could help each other out, aspiring writer to aspiring artist. Let’s get beyond this “aspiring” bullshit.
So those of you who are handy with markers and Photoshop, please submit an illustration by August 1st. I’ll select one winner and then we’ll collaborate to develop the illustration from sketch to pure awesomeness. Once everything is set, it will become part of my official logo and it will appear when I launch my new site design. And if the illustration is really wet-yourself awesome, then it may eventually become, well, you know.. more. I can’t say what exactly because I don’t know myself, but I’ve got my eye focused hard on potential.
