Christi Naked and Showing Good Taste
Every so often an art contest shows up and I find myself entering something in it. I'm not sure why I keep doing this to myself but I've been doing it since at least third grade when I won a Triple Yahtzee set (parts of which I still have somewhere) for a poster on good nutrition. Usually I'm much more disappointed -- not only don't I win, but the winners are often really bad. Very sour grapes.
I recently entered two more contests, mainly because entering them was free and, you know, why not? One of them is part of a campaign for Christiana Vodka, a libation I have not been privileged to taste. Hey, it's Norwegian, it must be good.
Chris Rywalt, When she woke up, she found I'd gone for a walk, oil on panel, 16x24 inches, 2007.
I'd like to thank Marcus at Night Agency for personally inviting me to enter the contest. You'll recall that Night Agency was behind the brilliant revolution that was Assvertising, so you can imagine how honored I am.
Actually there were over 800 submissions and Yasco is a team of artists Yasmina Alaoui and Marco Guerra.
We will be rounding up another competition in the Fall.
Skål!
I'll check back in the fall.
