ART CONTEST! CONGRATS TO OUR WINNER!

Submissions for the "WIN LATIF'S SCHWAG"
are now closed. Thanks to everyone who participated or considered participating.

The winner of my first contest is :iconkieremj: Congrats to this lovely artist on her fine entry! You have won the BIG Prize:


THE BIG PRIZE! THE ART/MESSENGER BAG

Two of my artistic life missions (if not my biggest)is to carry the reputation of being one of the kindest artists walking mother earth and to mentor those younger than me by helping them as many artists I have met in life have helped me. Give respect to Earn Respect is one of my life creeds.

In my daily art life, I use a Art/ Messenger Bag to carry around my necessary tools, supplies, and items that get me through a day in my artistic life. It is my most cherished item other than my African bead necklaces made by my family. And now,I want to share my goodwill with another artist by giving them the same.

This BRAND NEW bag will be filled with prizes that reflect what is usually in my bag at any given time:

- 2 Graphic Novels
I Keep 2 to 3 graphic novels in my bag at all times (American or manga) combined with my Ipod to kill time while hanging at my local coffee shop.

- Art Supplies
The necessary tools for the artist who gets inspiration at the slightest moments (like me)

- Art themed book
My first book was one by Salvador Dali given to me by my mother. I always give a present of a new art book to those that have earned my highest respect.

- Boxes of Pocky
My signature and a weekly staple in my life, I got hooked on Pocky by my father at the young age of 6 and is another item I send to folks that earn my highest respect, it's like my olive branch.

- New T-shirt (winner Must specify size)
This is just a prize to be added because there ALWAYS has to be some kind of apparel involved. :D

Once Again, Congrats to our winner and I'll see you guys in Late August for my next Art Prize Contest!!

Pocky and Peach Tea vol: 16 the 1/2 journal

Journal Entry: Wed Jul 8, 2009, 9:28 PM
Well guys, got a 1/2 one since I am busy in the studio as of late, I'll post the other half tomorrow, so let's jump right into it.

GHOSTBUSTERS GROUP PIC SCRAPPED!
Well, sadly, couldn't get that last person I needed to do this group pic. So it is with a heavy heart that this group pic will be scrapped. Oh well, I tried, I really tried, but if no one is interested in being the 4th member of this group piece, then neither am I, in attempting to draw this. If I sound a little upset, you guessed right, I DETEST scrapping group pics, fuck it...NEXT SUBJECT!


ALL PRIZES GO OUT NEXT FRIDAY!
All prizes from my first Art prize contest ship out next Friday, I was missing a few prizes for the 2nd and 3rd place finishers, all has been acquired now, so we are good to go when I get back from out of town next week.

I'll be back tomorrow with some more good stuff. See you Thursday.
