Newspaper Cover Art by mock piratey turtle
July 10th, 2006 12:47 AMPiece 2: The next Wednesday I was saddened to see the cover, which seemed altogether uninspiring. It was some baseball player I had never heard of. So I read the article for ideas, and it was all about how this guy was a prince among assholes, and the one Good Guy left in Baseball. So I made our hero into a Hero- that is – a knight in shiny armor. Or shiny paper maybe…
Piece 3: I then missed a week because every single one of the papers was stolen from the dispenser I had been frequenting. Hoping I might have one or two folks seeking out my papers I decided to wait till the next week and try again. This cover was my least favorite. I wanted to get away from the acrylics I had been using as they tended to take a *really* long time. I ended up using charcoal, but without any definitive plan, it just sort of came out as elaborate doodles. Ah, well.
Piece 4: Again a week of stolen newspapers. Apparently a street person had been using the dispenser sort of like a locker and keeping a bunch of stuff in there, so I decided again not to disturb and come back again. A stroke of genius while looking at the Kidnap me Gently task brought the following weeks result. All hail the Holy Zero Tripartite!

The last one is priceless. :D Sean gets long hair once again!
wow, thanks eveyboy! Thanks to your votes, at least for This Moment, i'm ahead of Oliver!!
no votes from the MN folks...
they haven't done much of anything in the last few days.. i wonder what they are up to...
and, isn't Aaro MN-ish?
I'm in Minneapolis and voted right away. It deserves it, but I'm not 100% sure if 9 votes should equal 306 points. This Fibonacci system has some interesting pros and cons.
If it makes any difference, many of the Minneapolis SF0 Contingency were at a convention this weekend and most of them haven't been around much since as far as I know. Not that I pay attention, of course.
Either way, I really enjoyed what you did with this task and sent you a vote right away.
I think that Cunning Linguist is trying to start some shit with the MN folks...
But we always reward excellence!!
We just had a whole different geek-out experience that many of us had to attend to. Note: Many tasks that are ordinarily somewhat challenging would have been incredibly easy to do at our convention, and I believe not one of us took advantage of that fact!
SF0 FOREVER!!!!!!!
I think that the knight one is my favorite, and I have no idea why.

Hey, he didn't write that down on a post card and hand it to you in person. :P
I can't wait to meet most of you on the playa, I'm sure a number of us here are thinking the same.
Ms. c4ndy,
Your powers of deduction are unparalleled.
Yours,
cl
ps. My apologies for the oversight, Aaro. You truly are the ray of sunshine from MN.
Yeah, bugger that, Herr Linguist.
A giant grid with the bug-eyed photo of SAM! et al is what sealed the deal for me, but as a whole this is a big time completion to which I gotta give respect.
really, thanks all. my day, my week, likely my month has just been made!
[i'm trying to see if i have pics of what the covers looked like originally (mostly week 1 and 2).]
If anyone else votes for this, this take will be worth over 1,000.
Haha, there's an undo vote option now. How sad...
gets my vote.
