For Piggy D. Fans (and New Orleans supporters)
"For the people, by the people
Friends,
On the second anniversary of the storm that changed the life of Piggy D. and countless others, we are excited to announce a very special project.
We would like to create a t-shirt featuring a photo collage of your faces. Have you ever gone to the movies & seen a huge picture of Darth Vader, only to walk closer & realize it's actually hundreds of Star Wars pictures? That's the idea here - to showcase our community and the pieces which make the whole.
100% of the profits from the sale of the t-shirt will be donated directly to NOLA-based charities like the Musicians' Village (and others to be announced).
But there's a twist.
As some of you may know, the song "Roll Call" was written about PD's experiences & emotions as he fled New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. We have chosen 12 words from its lyrics:
Despicable
Discountable
Enjoyable
Gullible
Inconsolable
Unbeatable
Uncontrollable
Unhearable
Unlovable
Unmerciful
Unseeable
Untouchable
Want to participate? Here are the details:
1. Pick ONE of the above words. It can be one with special meaning to you or just that you like the best.
2. Take a photograph of yourself portraying the word (or have somebody take it for you).
- Color and black & white are both acceptable
- No smaller than 4" x 6"
- No nudity
- File type must be .jpeg
- Resolution must be 300 DPI. If you don't know what that means or how to achieve it, we'll try to adjust it for you, but we can't make any promises
3. E-mail your shot (as an attachment) to piggydcontests@gmail.com by September 10, 2007.
- Put your word (and only the word) in the subject line
- In the body, copy/paste the following sentence, substituting your name & the date where appropriate. This is EXTREMELY important!
I, Jane Doe, authorize Black Victory Records to use my photograph or likeness for charity purposes only. I understand that I will not be compensated.

This is not a contest. If you follow those guidelines, your picture will be included in the collage (space permitting). We want as many different expressions & interpretations as we can get, so don't be afraid to choose a word because you think others have done it already.
We'll keep accepting photos until there's no room left in the design - which, by the way, Piggy will be doing himself.
Also, for those of you outside of the US, the shirt will ship worldwide when it is finished, so please don't let your location stop you from participating.
We are really stoked about this idea & we hope that you all will join us in helping those who perhaps cannot help themselves. We can't wait to see what everybody submits!
Cheers,
- The BV crew"
