I NEED YOUR HELP! ALSO, YOU CAN WIN ART!

I want to enter into a contest (and you should, too!) and I want to send in one image (I am wondering what image you all think represents ME). This image needs to spur on the judges to choose me and want to give me money to make more art and have it shown in a gallery in NEW YORK, PEOPLE.

Please take 30 seconds and look at my portfolio and tell me which image you think I should submit. Please post your answers (the title of the piece and other sundry) in the comment section below. I will let you know which image is the winner! I'll make this worth your 30 seconds - I will have a name randomly chosen from the comments and that person will WIN A PRINT OF THE SELECTION THEY MADE. Deadline is July 6th.

PLEASE TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW BECAUSE THAT IS HOW LOVE SPREADS.

Tweet it, put it on facebook, link-it-in, get other bloggers to blog about it. I am open to all sorts of social networking.

I am your fan.

"When You Believe In Things You Don't Understand" is really excellent, and so is "Sea of Hope". Good luck

Silvere Elve said...

I couldn't decide between "But Papa!" and "When you Believe in Things You Don't Understand."

cherrytree said...

My choices are

When you Believe in Things You Don't Understand - I love the movement and depth of the image

Love is compassionate - The eyes got me

Words Take Flight

Thanksyou for sharing yourself and your talent with the world.

Maree said...

laurenbaity said...

I loved But Papa and Words Take Flight

Elise said...

I love everything you do!! My favourites are But Papa, When You Believe In Things That You Don't Understand, The Silent Song, Lead Me From Temptation, and Sea of Hope. That narrows it down for you :P Beautiful work.

Icedream said...

I love Words Take Flight and Crying Eyes is so powerful. I can't decide between the two.

Jane said...

On Our Way speaks to me.

Heather said...

My favorite has always been Words Take Flight. It is such a powerful image! AlTHOUGH, Crying Eyes is equally amazing. My own eyes tear up when I see it. Those are my picks, in order, but EVERYTHING is amazing!

Colleen said...

The Eclectic Nurse

Best of luck!

Bibliolatrist said...

I'm going Sea Explorer. Good luck!

Trisha said...

When You Believe In Things You Don't Understand and The Eclectic Nurse are just amazing. Sorry I couldn't just pick one!

Elizabeth said...

Well, I am forever in love with Words Take Flight. But if you are looking for something that best represents your body of work, I think When You Believe in Things You Don't Understand would be a good choice.

But really, they are all so gorgeous.

Sandy Nawrot said...

It is hard to pick, but I was entranced by Words Take Flight. Sea of Hope would be my second choice!

Jenny said...

I had a hella hard time picking - love your stuff! I think either The Silent Song or Catch the Red Balloon - actually I am leaning toward The Silent Song. Good luck!!

Somaiyya said...

"Words Take Flight." I LOVE the posture of the girl, especially her legs and I also really like that you can't really see her face or her reaction. That way, you can't tell if the escape was an accident or on purpose. It has a pandora-esque quality to it. Very lovely.

Amy said...

I LOVE On Our Way (My Snail and I).

I think I am the girl.

Megan said...

I love Words Take Flight. Good luck!

Wendy said...

DEFINITELY "But Papa!"

kt-schmid said...

'Lead me from Temptation' mixed media *drools*

Jen said...

I would pick "Words Take Flight"

Jacki said...

Appearances is my favorite, always has been!

Allison said...

when words take flight is truly lovely, but I also really like your "less is more" watercolors with the white backgrounds. They feel more punchy to me. I like the one with the birds on the rooftop. Those are my two votes.

D.M.Cunningham said...

When You Believe in Things You Don't Understand - has so many stories behind it, I could stare at it for hours. It is whimsical and haunting at the same time. Delicate girl and tentacles of a monster. This was a difficult choice to make. Best of luck with the art contest. You deserve many kudos. Those New Yorkers better recognize it as well!

Lisa said...

I think Sea of Hope or maybe Words Take Flight.

Petey said...

words take flight
love is compassionate

me said...

Definitely "When You Believe in Things you Don't Understand" because it tells a story -- and not just any story -- it tells a story that just about anyone can relate to.

Jen Klassen said...

No Vacancy is my favorite! its amazing and heartbreaking and beautiful

Marg M said...

words take flight or eclectic nurse are the ones I love such beautiful pictures all.

Jarrad said...

'On Our Way (My Snail and I)' - LOVE it!!!

Anonymous said...

Words Take Flight has been my favorite since I first saw it, which seems like it was a year or so ago? You are an amazingly talented artist. Good luck!

Hawkeyegirl said...

Words Take Flight is my favorite for sure. But When You Believe In Things You Don't Understand is a wonderful piece too, you do such amazing work!

chp said...

Your work is amazing! On Our Way (Snail and I) is my favorite, followed by Leap of Faith and Sea Explorer.

agentbree said...

"When You Believe In Things You Don't Understand" or "Love is a Servant" oooh or "Sing a Song"

Beautiful and whimsical yet joyfully dark artwork. Very amazing.

The Celebrated Author said...

Tough choice, but I think When You Believe In Things That You Don't Understand. Beautiful work!

ksrunt said...

I like The Silent Song for capturing the lonliness we can all feel. I love the Sea of Hope for capturing the vastness of the world. Best to you in the contest.

Jules said...

It is such a tough choice! I truly do quite love all your work - my favorite is certainly Love is compassionate. However as far as a submission is concerned, I would also add to the vote Words take flight and When you belive in things that you don't understand.

Good luck!!

rach said...

okay. can't pick one but....
but papa and when you believe in things you don't understand cause they are beautiful,
the eclectic nurse because it captures my imagination (my mind immediately wanders to a story about her world & adventures she has),
words take flight because it moved me

Esther said...

I love Leap of Faith, Words Take Flight and Love is a Servant but choose When You Believe as my favourite.

sharon54220 said...

All of them are great and it was really hard to choose. My choice is Leap of Faith. I feel that this really fits into our lives today.

Good Luck.
