Anyone planning on entering the contest to win Len’s lightsaber?
Looks like you need to enter via Instagram or twitter (both of which I’d need to sign up for), but I was wondering if we could post here as well, just for fun/progress (not as official entries)? Looks like a lot of fun and I’d love to see what you guys make as well.
Here’s a pre-entered version I’m working on (a few things are still off in it, but I’m kinda using it as an opportunity to learn affinity photo, so it’s taking some time to get it where I want it to be.) You know how friggin hard it is to pull the images from instagram/twitter?
If I had any artistic talent I’d be all over this. I heard Brain & Angela talk about the giveaway a couple weeks ago on the podcast. I’d been anxiously awaiting to “enter” a drawing. Oh well! Hopefully, they’ll post the entries for us to enjoy.
I have a feeling artistic talent is going to take a backseat and it’ll be more of the spirit of the entry. For example, someone entered in their 8 year old’s chalk art drawing… annnd I think that beats mine hands down.
had to scower their twitter and instagram feeds. It looks like only 2 people posted so far. but i could’ve easily missed the other entries if there were some)
Well obviously my artistic talents know no bounds.
And clearly Len knows this and decided to make it fair to the rest of you, and insist on a US postal address to enter.
As luck would have it, my DS works for a company with a N.Y. office, so I could enter anyway. But I feel that might be against the spirit of the the competition, and I certainly wouldn’t want to upset any of you by bending the rules in that way.
So I have decided, humbly and magnanimously, not to enter. Instead the likeness of Len and his light sabre will have to hang in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition instead. You could always come and see it for yourselves, it’s on Piccadilly in London (*).
Actually, truth be told, my grandad did have several paintings chosen for the exhibition over the years. Sadly I inherited around 0.00001% of his talent.
I realize you’re joking, but I think if you had a US mailing address that is not where you actually lived, that would not be cheating in any way. When I read it, it looks to me like they just don’t want to ship it outside the US. If you had it shipped somewhere in the US and they could forward it to you, I think that’s completely legit.
but i could’ve easily missed the other entries if there were some)
