+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After a long, failed attempt to find the owner/artist of the awesome skull graphic below, I've decided to have a contest to "re-imagine" it as a killer t-shirt design that incorporates the "Datathrash Recordings" name. Winner gets $100 straight into their PayPal + whatever extras I can come up with before the deadline (CDs, stickers, free downloads, whatever...). The shirt will be sold through http://datathrash.com as a fund raiser for the label so I can continue to help out the artists and produce cooler physical products.
What you need to do:
Re-imagine the "Microdeal Stereo Master" skull graphic in any format or style you want in the highest resolution you can.
Must include the words "Datathrash Recordings" in a legible way.
When you need to do it:
Example art, sketches, and concept art will be accepted via [email protected] until February 1st 2012 at which time 3 finalists will be chosen and announced.
The 3 finalists will have until March 1st 2012 to submit further concept art and sketches.
The winning artist will be announced and contacted on April 1st 2012 at which time any additional work for the final image will begin.
Stuff you need to know:
Datathrash Recordings will be given rights to use the winning image as a shirt design to be sold for profit. No other rights will be granted except at the winning artists discretion.
The final winning image must be made available in Photoshop format (.psd) but examples, sketches, and concept art can be in any format.
All entries will be judged by Arnie Holder, owner/operator of Datathrash Recordings, and will be subject only to personal taste.
The winning artist will recieve $100 (plus extras to be determined) on delivery of the finished image in Photoshop format (.psd).
Datathrash Recordings will not have rights to use any sketches or concept art or example art submitted as part of this contest.
Contest participants are free to share their progress and work during the contest. In fact, it's encouraged.
This is the graphic, I'll upload a scan of my user manual at some point for better detail:
Here's a scan of my user manual, probably the best quality image I can get:
