EPIC Contest WINNERS.
The Winners of The Most EPIC Contest Evar are:
Wait. Before I say who won, I want to say thank-you to all who entered. You made my life hell trying to choose because frankly, they're all inspiring.
In the end I went with the three that made my fingers twitch the most.
Third Prize: Karin. "You should draw me as a girl surfing a galaxy ... a sparkling, mini galaxy. Because once I saw one while I was absently folding laundry."
Awesome visual depicting incongruity. But who are you Karin? You didn't leave your Twitter ID or anything.
Second Prize: @EllieM72. "You should draw me with a chocolate smeared face surrounded by two (not one but two!) hott guys! Preferably naked. Or not. But they must be hott."
Well okay! This is gonna be fun. I'll be sure to wear oven mitts whilst drawing this one.
First Prize: @pilot2b "HOW to draw me... on a motorcycle with wings, with scuba gear on, jumping over an 18-wheeler, about to land in water next to a nuclear power plant. Easy enough."
I wanna draw this so baaaaaad....!
Winners congratulations and I'll be looking for you on Twitter.
Special mentions go to Ed R @edrafalko, Allison C @minivangirl, and @yogi4change.
All decisions are final. Stay in touch and I may just get the notion to draw you anyways. I'm funny like that.
Wanna see the drawings?

Beware... THE BLOG!
The most horrifying monster menace ever conceived....
...will soon be invading your life.
A mass that keeps getting bigger...
...and BIGGER.
It crawls!
It creeps!
It eats you alive!
Run - don't walk - from...
There's no stopping The BLOG as it spreads from town to town.
It's indestructible!
How can it be stopped?!?
Nothing* can stop it.
*Except maybe this.
Mob hysteria sweeps one city, and before long, the nation.
And then the world could fall before the blood curdling threat of...
....THE BLOG!!!
Don't forget to feed The BLOG. RSS is its fave snack. But it also loves StumbleUpon, Twitter and FaceBook.
Is your blog taking over your life? Check out the awesome 1958 "The Blob" trailer. The comparison was totally begging to be drawn.

Cottage QUEST.
Ever felt like you wanted to get away from it all, and relax, just for a day or two?
@Francesca__ah_ and her friends are hardworking women. They're desperately seeking a cottage weekend to hang loose, drink wine and just chill. In a half-hearted (yet somehow hopeful) tweet to see if anyone would loan them a cottage, a hashtag was born:
#CottageQUEST.
Francesca, @KimberleyCanada, @laurie_pringle, @LeahEustace, and @daniellaanne I drew this for you and me and everyone who wants and needs a break. It's not a cottage per se, but it's a lovely view.
And look friends, there's an extra woman in there; maybe it could be you..?

THRILL Rides.
My friend Robin and I took our boys to the Montreal amusement park, La Ronde. Her son had made a fabulous recovery from appendicitis thanks to my PICKLEWeasel Bandaid, and had just been given the Doctor's all clear to celebrate by being hurtled through space on a number of death-defying thrill rides. Factor in the junk food and this place is paradise for an eleven year old.
Everyone knows that if you don't want to lose your lunch on a ride, the best thing to do is to scream non-stop. My screaming muscles were in tip-top condition. I was ready!
The first really scary one we went on was called The Vampire, aptly named as it will suck the life right out of you.
Robin sat this one out. I swear I could not figure out where the ride began and ended, it really looked like a bunch of spaghetti to me. Which is pretty much how I felt when I got off it.
We decided to recover on the kiddie ride that looked like it was made of Swiss Cheese.
Then the boys managed to convince us to go on The GOLIATH. Even Robin decided to join us. This rollercoaster is huge! I mean it covers a lot of distance. No way could I fit it all on one drawing.
They start you off by slowly cranking you up a 175 foot incline and then drop you almost straight down. And up. And down. Etc. Crazy fun I tellya.
Just as you're dropping down that first big drop they take a picture of you - FLASH! - so not only are you terrified but you're also seeing spots everywhere.
Unless you're Robin, in which case your eyes are shut tight pretending you're at the spa.
Afterwards, Robin said my hair was "bigger". I won't need another blowdry for at least a year. We agreed the Goliath was the funnest. But I'm all screamed out!
Most terrifying thrill ride you've ever been on?

The Bed's TOO Big.
I miss him already.
The Huz has gone to London to hang with his family and friends. I do get him 11 months of the year so I mustn't complain. And he always leaves something behind...
Hug?
Thanks to @Gerbalaya for inspiring this drawing.

The Most EPIC Contest Evar.
In celebration of my (hopefully) imminent 10,000 followers on Twitter, my ONE YEAR blogging thing, and my sudden overwhelming desire to draw myself as The Queen, I'm having another contest.
I've done contests before but this one's a little different. First off, some unsuspecting person will be my 10,000th follower and that person will get a t-shirt with The Queen on it. Who knows? I may even do another Twitter Stiptease.
For my AWESOME loyal following, I humbly offer to draw YOU*.
*If I've already drawn you, I guess I could draw your pet or your kid instead.
Third Prize: . Your face will be put on a t-shirt and sent to you. You'll wear it so much that eventually it'll be all faded and limp, but you'll refuse to throw it away because it's a drawing of you. Well, it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, right?
Second Prize: Your face will be put on a high quality Zazzle mug and sent to you to drink coffee or tea from for all eternity. You'll have your 'mug' on a mug.
First Prize: You get the T-shirt AND the mug. YAY!
You may only enter ONCE:
The three winners will be the ones that inspire me the most. Contest closes Thursday June 30th 2011 at midnight EST.
By entering this contest, you agree to allow me to draw you and to blog the drawing of you. I own the artwork but you can use it as your avatar if you want!
Find out who won.
Share the fun.
