How about a competition?

[RET]

Harko,

Not at all.  Alex's artwork that we use in our magazine Sideplate turns up in lots of other clubs' magazines, without any permission sought or granted.

It would piss me off.

Thanks Harko. good job.   Though I prefer the original after all.    .   Mike

C'mon Craig I thought you'd have this one in the bag mate and Simon you have spent a few hours on the chop shop ,Whats happened ? I keep signing on to see some art evrey day and it seem's to slipping into the expance of FE FC Cyberspace.

OK, this is the plan.

We will institute a competition, using a single photo which you can download from the site as a starting point.  There might be a prize, but don't count on it.  Expect only the admiration of your peers if you win, and any prize will be a bonus.

There will be an expiry date by which time you must have posted your entry.  I'll figure out some way of keeping the entries sealed until after that date.  Then they'll be made available for all to see and vote on, members' choice.  One vote each, no voting for Guests.

Anyway, I'm a bit busy with real work at the moment, so don't hold your breath.  I'll post more information as the competition gets closer to readiness.

cheers

hey harko, i have been waiting for the official competition to begin! this is going to be fun.

i love alex's van-sled by the way.....  

do you think anyone would mind us using one of craig's pictures from the recent event at eastern creek. there are some good shots of standard cars there to start with...

[craiga]

Hi Gree,

Go for it!!!!!

From my side those photos are yours and everyones to use as you want. It may be worth checking with the owners of each vehicle though??

Can't wait to see what everyones imagination produces.

Harko - I'm interstate on business for the next week but when I get back I'll have a go at something new.

Cheers,

Craig.

Im about to red light

I thought this would be a brilliant idea for the competition  that was mentioned a month or so ago (DIG DIG)
It may or may not interest Norm but as we have all been reading ,He has his sports sedan up and running again ,so I thought it very fitting to propose the competition be based on a race car theme for Norm's car
Easily applied to a drawing with pencil and a great one for expressing your own individuality ie Wheel's ,colour and decal's (stickers ,Tatts)
Keeping this competition light hearted I would suggest that the owner of the car chose a favourite rather than a winner.
I count myself out on this one and hope to see some art even from the kids ,Hopefully craig could donate some colouring in pics for the job and if you feel some other type of art would be interesting go right ahead
Here is a design I have come up with only for if anyone would like to pick idea's from ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Harko


Not forgetting craigs original idea !

I guess seeing as it was my idea in the first place, I will put up my hand to organise the entries. Also, I know a guy that has been involved in Street Machining for quite sometime I am sure he will oblige with judging.

Can I suggest 2 categories?

1. For the beginners, a line drawing (if Alex allows it, the FC Woodie currently takes pride of place on my desktop)

2. Advanced, a photo or maybe a selection of 2-3.

As for prizes, who wants to offer something?
Maybe a free membership for a year?

[HARKO]

As car enthusiasts Stinky we are a minority within the community,
As car enthusiasts of two particular models under one company name we are of a minority of the car enthusiast group
As enthusiasts of one body style frome one company with an interest in art - Hey we are the minoroty people talk  under thier breath mate , Its just you and I with not a mention of interest in sight ,Maybe we should let this one die with dignity

[HARKO]

Hi Richard I was hoping you could get a picture to me of the Red and White FC Wagon that was in this thread but isnt now ,I was just searching for it and its gone ,Thanks mate.

[RET]

Hey Harko,

As luck would have it, the ad is gone but the picture is still in the cars for sale folder.

I might have a higher res version of it if you want it.

cheers

A quick chop and drop with a change to tangerine.
