One of my coworkers has a painting in a local art contest. There's online voting to determine the top 16 entries, then there will be a live event in Indy to determine the ultimate winner. She had to create the art at the event, and they only had four hours.
It's called "Monsters In My Bed" (which of course made me think of
filker0's "Close Your Eyes") and it's of three monsters playing on the bed while the child peers out of the closet. I think it's quite cute, and thought I'd see if I could rally some of my readers to go check it out and vote for her to keep her in the running for the live event.
Here's the info...
Saturday, I went downtown to the Harrison Center to participate in the Art vs. Art competition and I need your on-line votes so my painting doesn't face the "Wheel of Death" on June 16. If you don't think my painting is the best have pity on it and vote anyway so it doesn't get destroyed. If it survives it might even have a chance to be auctioned off for a little cash. Please pass this email on to your friends and relatives to vote too. You can vote on-line from June 4-15. My painting is called "Monsters in My Bed" and is number 27. Go to artvsart.com to vote. And thank you in advance for voting.
