Two for Tuesday

How excited was I today to see that not only was there a new Wondermark comic (Tuesdays and Fridays!) but the contest winners were also announced... and I was one of them! TOOT! Oh, sorry. That was just my horn going off again.

As second prize winner I will receive a steady helping of head gigantisizer, the scorn of all my friends, a heaping portion of Feeling Awesome, and general malaise. But those aren't the contest prizes, just what I have earned by being a braggart. From the contest itself, I shall be blessed with a framed print! Linkage on the Wondermark site! A personalized piece of original art!!! An inscribed copy of the book Beards of our Forefathers, and a special MYSTERY BOOK as well!!! If it's not too bold, I am hoping that the mystery book isn't a Sue Grafton. All those alphabetical ways to kill people make me dyslexic. And murderous.
All of the contest entries that were posted were FANTASTIC and I encourage you to visit them all and congratulate all of the winners (toot!) on their excellent work. And THANK YOU to Dave at Wondermark for a fun contest!

Needle Felted Presidents on Craft Magazine!

The folks over at Craft Magazine have posted my needle felted presidents on their blog today- so cool! Seems that everyone loves Van Buren's muttonchops! :)

Wondermark Contest

Over at Wondermark, a contest is being held to win the new book "Beards of our Forefathers" in which anyone can submit anything they like, so long as it is slightly Wondermark related. I decided at the last minute to throw my hat beard in the ring with some needle felted submissions.

I used the book title to play on the "Forefathers" as being the former US presidents. There are 5 presidents who had full beards, but since Garfield isn't funny (referenced in a Wondermark comic) I left him out. So instead there are 4: Lincoln, Harrison, Grant, and Hayes. Plus, I kind of liked Van Buren's psycho mutton chops so I threw him in there for good measure.

I don't know when winners will be announced, and even if I don't win, I will buy the book, but it was still fun to play along.
