Shop 'til you drop! The TDT.com store contest!

[Daghain]

As you may or may not know, we have a store at Cafe Press:

http://www.cafepress.com/growbag

All proceeds from the store go to the Haven Foundation.

Now, in the interest of offering up more options for people (and my own personal amusement) I thought it would be fun to have a little artwork contest. The rules are simple: any subject matter is acceptable as long as it relates to the Dark Tower.

You've got until December 24, 2008 to submit artwork. There will be NO extensions available. When the contest closes we'll vote and the winner's submission will be used on the goodies at the store.

If we get a lot of submissions, I'll be taking the top three, so consider that an incentive to participate!

Helpful hint: the closer you can keep your artwork to the parameters below, the more stuff I can put it on.

10" x 10" @ 200 DPI
(2000 pixels X 2000 pixels)

not that i'm going to participate (i can't even draw a stick figure) but can people submit things they have submitted for other contests on the site. say for example, a certain member's eddie tarot card? (hint hint)

just curious.

[razz]

i second that question.
as well as that certain person's Oy, even if it didn't win?

[Daghain]

Nope, I'd like original stuff, please. Makes for a more level playing field. I may take requests later, but for now let's go with this.

And t/s, you need to go look in the store. *winks*

[The Lady of Shadows]

[Daghain]

I'll be looking through the store, but I will not be submitting any artwork. Apparently turtlesong draws better than I do. (And before you go protesting anything t/s remember this... I once tried to draw a straight line using a pencil and a ruler. It took me three tries to draw a crooked chalk line.)

[Sam]

Y'all need to do a shotglass. I collect shotglasses and would be forced to buy one. I mean NO ONE has done a Stephen King related shotglass yet that I know of.

Alas, I am limited by what Cafe Press has in stock. I'm guessing it might be harder to print onto glass. *shrugs*

[Sam]

I know it can be done, but I don't know the prices or logistics of it.

[obscurejude]

Really Sam? I had no idea that shot glasses could have designs.

Just giving you a hard time. If I find one I promise to bring it with me the next time I visit my family in Lancaster.

[educatedlady]

I have a friend that does carvings in shot glasses...he has some sort of laser machine...and he made me one with the Ka symbol on it but it shattered in my move across the country. I about died when I unpacked it.

[Daghain]

Cafe Press just has a limited amount of stuff they sell, and we're stuck with that. It's not bad, but a lot of those little random things people might want, like shot glasses, just don't exist. I'm hoping we get some good submissions for this thread.

[turtlex]

Pssst. Um, if it's on a mug, how can we get it on a shirt?

Next time you're coming to Lancaster, drop me a line. Maybe we can get together for a few minutes.

[Heather19]

Great idea, I might see if I can come up with something.

[Daghain]

At the moment, you can't, unless I manually change it. We have a "basic" store which only allows us one piece of artwork per item. If you tell me what shirt you want what artwork on, I can certainly change one for you. I just have the majority of stuff with the site logo as a place holder.

[turtlex]

I would love Eddie on a basic or ringer t-shirt with the site logo on the back.

[Daghain]

I'll see what I can do.

I'm going to set up a new thread for store questions. Let's keep this one for artwork submissions only so there's no confusion.

I just upgraded the store to the Premium (they give a 15 day free trial )--so you might have much more to look at now.
