Finding Kriscasso 2.0
SEARCHING FOR THE NEXT KRISCASSO!
.
Everyone can draw. Don't say you can't. You've doodled in the margins of your notebooks. Your scrawled portrait of your family has been on the fridge at some point. Your teacher or mom or even the weird oppa-next-door has cooed over your drawings even though you coloured over the lines and painted the tree purple.
Now it's time to reach deep inside yourself and get in touch with true art. Make something that will bowl those pretentious critics over. How abstract! Mysterious! What are they on and where do I get some!
World renowned artist Kris (real name: Wu Yifan, also known as Kris the Man) has been blazing the art scene with his edgy and thought-provoking masterpieces. What better way to give tribute to one of the most promising artists in the 21st century art world than by channeling his influences into more art?
In short, this is a contest to see how well you can channel Kris the artist!
HOW?
If you choose to sign up,
♤ I will give a few themes/subjects.
♤ Choose one (or a few) and draw it as terribly as possible. (Be creative! Combine all prompts, interpret it however you want.)
♤ I will submit all your art as my portfolio to Harvard.
♤ ... What?
♤ Yeah, no I meant, I will chose the artwork that embodies Kriscasso the best!
GUIDELINES
♤ Use any medium you like (Paint, photoshop, actual real life wet paint, pencils, your momma's lipstick etc.)
♤ on any surface you like (chalkboards, scraps of paper, shave it into the side of your brother's head etc.)
♤ Most importantly, I'm here to find BAD ART. That means I welcome things that'll make us scratch our heads, snort milk through our nose, wonder about the sanity of the artist.
♤ Once you're done, take a photo/save it, attach it in an email and send it off to me!
eg. Replicate your favourite picture of oppa. Now draw a bow on oppa's head.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
Winner(s) will get an actual prize from me, shipped to them. I don't know what it'll be, but anyone who has received letters from me has a good idea of what I usually send.
There might be multiple winners! Who knows? It all depends on how great (bad) the artworks are.
DEADLINES
♤ Sign ups end: 25th September
♤ Theme/subject announced: 27th September
♤ Send in your art before: 27th October
♤ Posting/winners announced: 31st October!
If any of you ask for an extension, I will deny you cookies for the rest of your life. I'm not asking you to recreate a sculpture of Luhan's face. I'm literally looking for stick figures. Unidentifiable blobs. All that jazz.
SIGN UP
♤ Just comment below with your twitter username and express interest in joining~
(If you're uncomfortable with revealing your username, comment below and then tweet me, so I can link your LJ with your twitter un)
There is no penalty for drop outs.
OTHER THINGS TO KNOW
♤ I'm keeping within my tlist only, so keep everything civil and fun.
♤ I'm trying to keep it tiny, but if I'm not following you and you still wish to join, join anyway and let me love you so you can be on my tlist! But please at least have a mutual follower with me?
♤ I'll be choosing the winner based on my own fancy, so keep in mind that everything is subjective.
♤ You'll have to be comfortable with giving me your address if you win.
♤ I will post the finished artwork in a separate post so everyone can have a laugh, so make sure you're cool with that. If you aren't, clarify when you make your submission, and I won't post it. If I like your art best, I will still give you something, but possibly something smaller. Another public winner will also be chosen.
REMEMBER: This is not an official contest. This is some tlist-only fun. The prizes may suck (or will it) but I just want us to have fun at each other's expense. Please?
Direct all questions at me on Twitter!
