The Winners are…

Hey everyone, the final tally is in and we have our winners. Check out the top 3 finalist! Thanks again for all the great submissions, this was a lot of fun!

The Great Outdoors

I was laid up this past week. As my symptoms subsided, I was greeted by a warm sunny weekend. Taking the opportunity to bask in the rays of the welcome spring-like sun, I watched from a lawn chair as my 3 year old boy tromped through the woods as if he were discovering treasures every 2 feet, and hit everything else with a stick. So I had some time to draw, and I wasn’t willing to give up my basking to hit the PC. So I made a piece in my moleskin. Finished it up at the kitchen table. I don’t know if I’m completely thrilled with it. The forms don’t separate all that well from each other, but it was nice to draw with ink. I’ll figure it out.

Also, the votes for the Thorndyke Photo Contest seem to be winding down. So Tuesday and announce the winner on Wednesday! Get those last minute votes in soon!

Dragons

I’ve been exploring some new painting technique lately trying to find ways to speed up the process a bit. I continue to tip my hat to Enrique Fernandez as he cranks away on completely painted graphic novels. I can’t say I’ve made all that much progress, but I’m chipping away hoping to find the holy grail of light speed!

The Thorndyke contest is just about wrapped up – there were certainly some hilarious submissions (you need to login into Flickr to see the entire set). We’ll be closing the group later tonight and will have a voting page up soon so you guys can pick the winners.

Ok, enough chit chat, time to get back to Thoughts, Scribbles + Madness: Volume 3!

Thorndyke Photo Finalists!

In true form, it was exciting to the bitter end! With over 50 submissions, we got some hilarious photos of Thorndyke showing his ugly mug in some very unlikely places! And as we promised, we have narrowed it down to our favorite 5 for you all to choose the top 3 favorites from! So click on over to the Finalist Page and put in your vote! And if you want to see the rest of the hilarity, you can still check out the rest of them on the Throndyke Flickr page! we’ll close the voting in a couple of weeks and announce the WINNER!

Thanks to everyone who submitted, we had a lot of fun seeing these come it!

*Update*
The voting is now closed! Thanks to all who participated. We’ll have an update of the winners soon!

Thorndyke Call to Arms!

It’s getting close to the end. The Thorndyke paper-toy submissions end at the end of this month. When we first attempted this contest, Dave laughed at me and said, “Careful, we might only get one entry!” How wrong he was…we got FOUR!!! Pretty dismal. So I am appealing to your childlike desires to steal your mother’s scissors and your older brother’s glue and get crackin’. The four entry’s we do have are pretty hilarious, so be warned…but if you like free stuff, and you’re willing to put a little hard work in, you might find yourself on the receiving end of one of these prizes!! Here’s a link to the original Thorndyke Contest post if you haven’t seen it before. GO FORTH AND CRAFT!

Prizes

1st place receives an original drawing by both Dave and I for your refrigerator.

2nd place receives 2 mini prints from the CreatureBox archives.

3rd place will receive a signed copy of 2009’s sold out Palindrone Robot Supply book from our personal stash.
