Thoughts And A Contest Of Oxymorons

Thu Sep 10, 2009, 4:20 PM
  • Mood: Artistic
  • Listening to: Mood Rings, Relient K
Lately, I've been wondering about stereotypes and how our world can't seem to do without it. It's just so childish. We have to label people this or that and they have to follow it to the letter. Then I think of myself and what an oxymoron I am sometimes.
So I decided to make a little contest, there are no prizes since I can't give anything and I don't know if people would be willing to volunteer prizes, but the contest still stands.
Your goal: To create an image of yourself in any medium you prefer using most. However, the image must contradict the facts and/or interests that you place in the Artist's Comments, a short bio of sorts, while still accurately representing the real you.
Your deadline: October 31, 2009. Halloween. All Hallow's Eve. Whichever name you prefer using. The date is chosen as a bit of a joke, people dress up on Halloween, all contest entries will be the Entrant as themselves instead.
Determining winner: I'll be the main judge and I'm looking for the most contradicting representation and bio. Depending on how many entrants there are determines if I'll need to bring in an impartial third person and how quickly you'll know if you won or not.
Prizes: If people donate prizes, I'll place those here. Other than that, all I can really give you for winning is a hand-drawn picture of yourself that I'll post on DeviantArt, if you want I could probably even mail it to you if you like it enough.
Works accepted: All mediums. Gore accepted, nudity not, religious icons in normal or unusual depictions accepted.
How to enter: Say it's for a contest in the Artist's Comments and link back to me. Also Note me that you've entered, although if you're really lazy you could just put your entry in the comments of this journal.

Now here's the most important thing, have fun and go all out, who knows, maybe you'll use your entry as a part of your portfolio when entering college or to show potential customers the type of work you've done. I know that when the contest is over, I'll show everyone my own Oxymoronic Self-Portrait...and then I'll get started on doing that hand-drawn picture of the winner.

Open a book, what do you see, printed words droolly littering the pages or masterpieces of landscapes and sculpted people made real by exciting words jumping from the pages to your mind? If not the latter, look for a new story to read.

I'm actually wanting to go to school. The urge happens every year. *sigh* I'm glad I'm a senior though, cause then I get all of the really awesome classes. My cousin's a freshman this year, and she has first hour with a teacher who thinks I'm weird(have you ever read the Abarat series by Clive Barker? If not, then just look it up on wikipedia or google and look at the pictures. I showed THAT teacher THOSE pictures during my freshman year. You should get the connection...)

Awww~! <3
I hope you have a good time at your crush's b-day party! How old are they going to be?

And as I have been pestered to death by a certain :iconnavy-pixie:, I feel that I have the right to now tell you to DEVIATE! Submit some cool stuff. After all, even if they are "doodles," there's tons of good artists who can tell and show you how to improve!

Make some noise :D
