EvolveFISH Bumper Sticker Contest
I just found out last night that EvolveFISH is holding a design contest for T-shirts, bumper stickers and posters. Well, I've dabbled in making left-wing bumper stickers for some time now; I couldn't possibly resist sending in some of my stuff. The trick is to figure out what might be well received by the general (liberal) populace.

The difference is subtle, but the new version looks significantly better. To my astonishment, I discovered that Canvas does a far better job of converting designs to common picture formats than PowerPoint, as well.
Second, I implemented a design that's been floating around in the basement of my conscious mind for some time now. In the "No Cow Is Too Sacred" division, we have:
I've no idea how stiff the competition will be. The EvolveFISH staff will perform the first round of judging; finalists will be announced next week (ca. Feb 8).
