ak47 wrote:In looking back on past contests it seems the "anything goes" themes get the most entries and interaction. Esp. in this one it seemed that when there is too much emphasis / debate on adhering to a theme, it might scare people off for the next one, which might be limiting entries, which no one wants. And for the record, I never thought for a second that my entry / entries didn't adhere. They were on walls, very large format, and they also incorporated text / tags (OBEY, JUST WIN, BABY!). I think any narrow definition of street art vs graffiti is pretty hard to do, and esp. today they are very hard to differentiate, and their origins are completely intertwined. But I appreciate the debate, as the dialogue was very interesting.
So in the interest of getting more participation for the next contest, I will offer a "suggested" theme only, as that sometimes helps people get their creative juices flowing, but the actual entries can once again be anything at all. The theme I am suggesting for this round, for those who want to incorporate it, is COLLAGE. Obviously an important aspect to the art discussed on this forum. Traditional, digital, whatever. But for those who want to showcase / enter something else completely, go for it!
I will be providing an original piece of my own (on wood) for the winner, which I doing just for this contest prize, and will put up pictures of it in progress during the contest.

I had a really tough time with making up a graffiti piece... but collage type stuff is more up my alley, along with a lot of other artists here (from what I've seen). If Ernesto sees this topic and enters, I'll probably politely bow outillyanadmc wrote:let's hope we get more participants this time around!!
