And The Winner Is... Jessika!

The winner for the Monday Artday challenge, "Cephalopod" is:

Jessika!

Congratulations to Jessika! "Kartoon Kid" Jessika's illustration of a happy little cephalopod in a tub is adorable (click the picture to see it better) and the concept of reducing a terrible submarine-attacking monster to a playing child is wonderful. It was excruciatingly difficult to choose just one winner (so many deserving entries!!!) but that's the burden I must bear.

Thanks to everyone who joined in on this challenge. I can honestly say I was blown away by the tremendous talent, creativity, and skill you all have shown. I hope you all had fun and will enjoy the next challenges.

Monthly Winner for January

It's high-time I chose the Monthly Winner for January!

I am torn by several choices - the quality of Samuli's and Richard's posts are wonderful! Josh's illustrations are prolific and always wonderful interpretations but he won last month. Zari's and Froggie's are astounding but infrequent. Everyone's contributions are amazing, I love them all, and I'd love to be able to give out several awards this month!

However, for January, I think one artist was most prolific, joyful, fun and sweet. Her art is innocent, colorful, and shows patience and a certain passion.

Congratulations, Diana Evans! You are the Monthly Winner for January!

Join The Fun

To join just email: mondayartday@mikerbaker.com

In your email, title it "I want to join!" and include a link to your work (we need to see your work to verify that you can participate, not to judge your talent). You must submit crafted illustrations to this blog (digital, ink, pencil, paint, sculpture, collage, etc. - please, no photography). CHECK YOUR EMAIL! You will then receive an email from this blog inviting you to post. Requests to join may take up to one week to receive an invitation. You must accept the invitation within a month or it will automatically be removed. Be sure to check your "spam" box to see if a reply was mistaken as spam. Too often invitations go unanswered. You may always make another request. NOTE: Once you join, you will be an AUTHOR of this blog and it will show up in your blog list, private or not. If your list is set to private, it still will be - you'll just have Monday Artday in it.

How It Works

Weekly Challenge - Every Monday a new challenge will be posted. That challenge ends two weeks after it begins. In other words, you have two weeks to complete each challenge - a new challenge each week and each challenge lasts 2 weeks so there are always 2 overlapping challenges. A "winner" will be chosen for the challenge of two weeks previous and posted. The winner and the new challenge will be posted by the host each Monday (hopefully).

If you win the weekly contest then you cannot win again for 4 weeks... that way everyone else has a chance.
