Re:
I'm pretty sure this is what the artist was inspired by, and the addition of the Obey star makes it more of a homage to Obey like the category of the contest.fribhey wrote:The Legendary Roots Crew is really cool but i think it would have been much much better without the giant star.
I thought it looked really great. I just don't know who to vote for yet. All you guys/girls kicked buttocks. I'm glad I didn't enter this time around!

Don't get me wrong, I liked the art aspect of #15 but I don't see how it goes with the theme of this contest... I just don't see the connection.

exactly. here's what the artist had to say about the intentional misspelling:daanmuller wrote:Isnt that just the point? Vegetarian is a mighty difficult word...skoola wrote:sorry to say but #14, shouldn't it be vegetarian not vegarian?
"BTW, the spelling is of “Vegetarian” is intentionally misspelled as I’m sure this is how George Bush would pronounce it."

Re:
crepe, was it? i apparently don't have a good memory for the rules, because i had thought it was one-per-person and was wrong about that. should we not allow that entry?fribhey wrote:the indian is nice but that is an old piece. aren't the rules that it can't be something old and has to be something done recently specifically for this contest? wasn't that mentioned before the first contest?
also, i just got one late entry. should it be added to the poll? users are allowed to change their votes this time around, by the way.

Re: thegiant.org member art contest #2! VOTE HERE!!
I put that in there because I was looking at an obey fine art piece and saw how they have collage under silkscreen and I though that with vitamin water labels would look nice in a collage with silkscreen over themHa! I could hear him saying it too!
