Finally I get to put this here!
The printmaking challenge rules will be simple and the subject will be very loose, so we can get lots of people participating. There will be a prize for the winner and the runner-up.
First Place Prize: $25 Gift Certificate for either Daniel Smith or Dick Blick - Winner's Choice!
Runner Up Prize: $10 Gift Certificate for Dick Blick or ASWExpress - Winner's Choice!
1. The challenge is open to entries from October 7 - December 7. I realize that this is a busy time for most people, so hopefully this gives everyone a weekend or block of time somewhere to work.
2. The challenge is open to all methods of printmaking, but I think a special emphasis will be made of linocuts as it is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to participate in printmaking without having experience or lots of equipment.
3. The challenge entries will be limited to 3 per artist, and should be made in an "Entries" thread which I will open tomorrow. I ask that that thread be used only for actual entries, and that comments be reserved for either this thread or for any individual thread devoted to the making of a particular entry made by the artist. Please scan or photograph your entry. Post it in the "Entries" thread, or send it to me directly and I will post it for you. You should include an explanation of your piece in accordance with the theme, and any notes about the process you wish to include.
4. There will be a popular vote after the close of the entry period. I'm willing to extend the voting past the holiday season if required, but I hope to have it close before the end of December.
With the particulars out of the way, here's the theme:
Mythology. Greek, Roman, Norse, Judeo-Christian, Mesoamerican, or anything in between. You should embrace some aspect of mythology, whether it is a symbol, a pattern, a story, a deity, or all of the above, and create a print which embodies that idea.
I will be posting a piece inspired by the theme, but I will naturally not compete. I encourage you all to ask questions and discuss here. I think it would also be great to get some discussion going on process and inspiration. I hope we can all inspire each other!
Be sure to head over to the printmaking forum, and check out what we have cooking!
Edited to add prize info!
