The Dead Flowers Artwork Contest
For a long time now, I've been thinking about a way to get some original artwork for Dead Flowers. What better way, I finally concluded, than to go directly to the visitors? It's very simple, really: I'm tired of ripping off Marcel Dzama's work (as brilliant as it is), but I'm not talented enough to come up with a design myself.Here's what I'm looking for:
-A banner
-An avatar/logo
-A background (optional)
What should it look like? I'll leave that up to you. But you might draw inspiration from some of the following:
-The existing (unlicensed) artwork from Marcel Dzama
-The song "Dead Flowers" [Lyrics Link]
-The Rolling Stones, circa late 60's/early 70's
-Anglophilia/Britpop
Now Dead Flowers hasn't suddenly become a money-making proposition (quite the opposite, really), so I can't offer much. But here's what the winner gets:
-A physical (or digital if you prefer) copy of "Sticky Fingers" by The Rolling Stones (from which the song "Dead Flowers" is taken)
-Prominent billing on the site and links to your website/myspace/facebook, whatever
-Exposure on a site that, when I can be bothered to update, can have anywhere from 500 to 1,000 visitors a day.
Send your submissions to mike at sendmedeadflowers dot com. Feel free to forward this post to anyone you think might be interested. The winner will be announced at the end of January. Good luck...I look forward to seeing your work!
