art contest, scuba bee
« do I know you? happy birthday blog friend »
The first of many art contests begin today, here at tinapoe.com.

Your Objective:
- Print or Save the image
- You have one week to color it in any way that you would like (You can use any method or media; color pencils, photoshop, MSPaint, photo collage, etc), add your own flare
- Post your completed artwork in the comments
- The most creative image (extra points added for cuteness and humor), as judged by David Poe, will win a Tina Poe original!
- Everyone should give this a shot! The submissions will be judged on their ideas not technical skill.
The prize for this contest is an 11″x17″ acrylic and color pencil painting on bristol board.

The winner will be contacted by email and the artwork will be shipped to them after their address is provided.

oooh great! So when you say colour – do you actually mean you want me to get out my pencils, or can one actually use photoshop etc to complete the competition?

Photoshop is great, any method you like best!

What a cool idea. I just wish I was semi-artistically inclined. I’d love to see the submissions though!

QB, you should give it a shot! I’m not going to go on artistic talent, just creativity.

OOOH! that looks like so much fun!! I wish I could draw and be artistic! BLUGH. Maybe I will try anyway…. where did I put those crayons?

So can my boys enter? They’d totally blow the creativity part out of the water and Shawners is fascinated with your drawings : ) .

Gorgeous. I’ll give it a go for that. :)

PSD, totally have your boys do it! I’m getting really excited about all of the entries I will be seeing!

okay, I have no talent of any kind at all, but I will give it a shot just because of the awesome prize! (and also going to print it out for my boys to color just because the drawing is so cute!)

Ooooh a coloring contest. I will definitely get my hands dirty. The prize is too cute to not give it a try. Who knows? Might get lucky

They were so excited to do this!! Shawners has been bugging me nonstop to put it up here since I printed it out yesterday and he colored it right away that evening.

So I explained that you were looking for creativity not artistic talent and Shawners decided he wanted to do another one that was more creative, so here ya go: (he is so loving this!)

Does anyone know how to colour using Macs?
12:57 pm on March 11th, 2008
PP, there’s no default art program that comes with Macs like the MSPaint for Windows. There are a lot of free ones you can download though: http://paintbrush.en.softonic.com/mac
