If I had a nickel for every time I've been asked, "Do you have a blog?", I'd be on a white, sandy beach in Aruba posting this from my laptop. Oh, and the ceeee-utest canbana boy would be bringing me excotic cocktails. ;)
First of all, huge props to Nate and Clint at 400lb.com, who created this wonderful place for me to post challenges, news, musings and fits of snark when the desire hits me. I'm sure I drove them both to drink with all the tweaks and edits (it's that pesky OCD side of me), but they were so patient and are two of the coolest geeks I know. Except Marla, of course. She redefines geeky in the best way possible.
To celebrate the premiere of this new blog, let's start out with a contest. Here's one of my favorite sketches from the January 2008 collection:
Create a layout based on this sketch (pixel pushers are welcome too!) and post a comment here with a link to your layout. The deadline is midnight (MST), July 20th. New, never-before-seen layouts only please. The winner of the challenge will be posted here by July 25th.
What's the prize, you say? Hmmmmm, how about a goody bag of some beautiful, bodacious BasicGrey! And since I [reluctantly] exclude peeps outside the US and Canada from the anniversary contest each year, we'll open this bad boy up to everyone. (Was that Fabian in the UK I just heard gasp and faint?!) So have it at it sketch fans. Can't wait to see what you create!
Now everyybody play nice here. ;)
