Congratulations to this weeks contest with a wonderful take on Revolution…err…Resolutions.

Our judge had this to say:

All of the entries were good and made me laugh, but this one made me laugh loud enough that my daughter came to see why I was falling out of my chair. I loved it, the silliness of it,  the design and colors of the fire, and all of a sudden I have an urge to go and buy a pitchfork. And some torches.

And on that note, your prize!  Top mention in this blog and your new winner’s badge.  Display it with your design with pride!  If you need help in how to display it just drop me an email and I’ll send you the HTML code.

From Our Judge, HowlAtTheMoon

OK I had great trouble narrowing down the designs. For various reasons I choose Future Santa and Sunny Antartica. I then struggled to pick a winner.

Sunny Antarctica is a stunning piece of design and well worthy of honourable  mention but I chose FutureSanta as the winner because it made me laugh so much. A great concept and at a time we are all busy and need a good laugh.

It is great to know that in the future there will be fruitcake still available and that Santa is going to be a hottie. Although it’s a little unnerving that in 100 years time us non-US folk are still going to be hearing about John McCain, but I suppose everything in the future can’t be rosy!

Thanks for entering and I’m looking forward to the new theme and new challenge

It is a very cold day outside and I felt that this cold, cold Santa made a lot of sense to me today.  Hopefully your Christmas is full of chestnuts and warm fires.

HowlAtTheMoon asks these questions with the theme of December 2108 in mind:

• 100 years from now what will be creating a buzz?
• What will be the best selling products?
• Who is making the news?
• Is Santa now a robot?

Some last words of advice from HowlAtTheMoon:

Have a futuristic frolic in this weeks design competition!

When the theme was presented thoughts of Futurama and Santa is Gunning you down came to mind.

The Winner of the prestigious Hey You Kids Get Off My Lawn Contest is…drum roll please…..Grassy Cow and Goats

From our judge pfoinkle:

I know that many people would not see “GrassyCOw” as a likely choice for First Place, but I’m totally enchanted by this gloriously bizarre interpretation of such a simple phrase. No, I don’t know why the cow stands on a harmonica, has business suit arms in boxing gloves as horns, or has a grass hide.

I just love that it “is”.

The arms make me think of the old man on the porch shaking his fist in a threatening manner, they made Mr. Pfoinkle think of an old habit of putting ball tips on horns to keep them from being so dangerous. Both interpretations work nicely and yet, mean so little for a surrealist image.

I find the fact that the “kids” aren’t grazing on the grass (which would have been the obvious(?) choice), but rather see-sawing, or “playing”, on the grass is both compelling and amusing — for the act of “playing” is the very reason human kids usually end up on grass that is not their own.

I wish that the “kids” and the see-saw board were of the same style (photo-realistic) as the cow, arms, and harmonica, but I don’t know if the “clip art” look was “artist’s choice” or “can’t find the right ‘kids’ picture in the limited time period”.

Overall, I just fell in love with this design — and, as Casey’s rule for my judging was a simple “pick your favorite”, this is the winner. Congrats to the designer, you’re just a little bit twisted.

And on that note, your prize!  Top mention in this blog and your new winner’s badge.  Display it with your design with pride!  If you need help in how to display it just drop me an email and I’ll send you the HTML code.

Make sure you visit the other great entries.  There was some amazingly well done designs and I had a good time reading and posting them.  Get ready for next week’s weekly contest.  I’m going to have them run Sunday to Sunday to allow people weekend time to enter.  If you’ve got topic suggestions, just send them to me through the contact us page.

From the shop Birder Gifts:

Backyard birders get frustrated when squirrels snatch the seed. But what do the birds think? These two birds are yelling: You kids! Get off my lawn! But the two squirrels below don’t seem to mind.
Sizes: S,M,L,XL,2XL.
Colors: Natural

From pfoinkle, our judge:

Graphically beautiful — one of the best — and another one who took the design challenge and made the perfect design for their existing shop.  And given I grew up in a family who maintained a wide array of bird feeders, I so get the message (my family finally gave up on trying to dissuade the squirrels and gave them their own line of feeders). IMO, another sellable design.

OMG!  It’s a Pfoinkle Portrait.  People who hang out at podforyou.com will recognize this one as a brilliant modification of the forum “smilie” that is my namesake.  And it has my pink bow. <3 I’m so buying something with this design (but not the thong, the thong is just wrong on so very many levels ).

I wouldn’t have come up with this idea in a gazillion years and I think it’s absolutely fabulous. Very smart design that takes a silly contest and turns into a thought-provoking message. Mr. Pfoinkle really liked this one.
