Alright, here's where I find out just how
hard Bearuh's job was. The judging! Who do I pick? All of the excellent pieces stand out on different merits, making picking a winner so difficult! Just this once I'll list the challenge-takers I found here...
I chimed in first with a
clash of children's illustrators, then there was Aeneadellaluna's
beautiful piece, Diana Evans'
sweet busy town, Emily did an
arboreal busy town, Helen's
Venice was certainly busy, Susan did a nice
abstract, Samuli's always amazing
comic book style, Emila's beautiful
sketchbook drawing (welcome back!), Froggie's hilarious (and great Richard Scary style!)
busy town characters, Pasuita's excellent
interpretation, Richard Cardona's incredibly
expressive illustration, and SeƱorita Pil's
charming rendering.
It breaks my heart that I can't pick you all but I can only pick one. So I will choose the illustration I felt really showed a lot of elements of a busy town as well as a lot of emotion - new-comer Richard Cardona!
Congratualtions, Richard!As winner, Richard can pick next week's winner or bow out and I will choose. Richard will recieve his award by email soon. Thanks, everyone!
Update: As we had a second competition last week that
Curlyillustrator and
Josh Pincus both competed in, it's only fair to award a winner. This winner will not choose another winner as we are ceasing the second competition. Both illustrations were excellent but I think Josh did some awesome work here and so Josh is the winner for the
Most Embarrassing Moment challenge!
Congratualtions, Josh!
