The Winners

You guys!

It has taken way longer than I anticipated to announce the winners of The Chase Gaze doodling contest.
This is mostly on account of I didn't feel like bloggin' fer a little bit.


The judge's pick winner was:

This awesome drawing is by Beth Glick, who sells her other fantastic artwork on Etsy. She's going to get a cool prize!

And the winner of the "Sidelongest gaze award" was:

Michael Neumann drew this. He also makes great webcomics and videogames. He is also getting a great prize.

Many thanks and props to all eight of you who submitted drawings. You are the real heros. And by that I mean you are all great doodlers and you should make sure never to lose that skill.

Also, here's an honorable mention that didn't get entered into the actual contest because it isn't actually a drawing. David Bontrager submitted this hilarious thing though:

I assume this is some stone-cold fox from a sitcom in the mid nineties that I didn't watch because my attention was occupied by Sister,Sister and The Nanny reruns, But hey, he's giving a sidelong glance, to be sure. Nice submission Bon Bon :-)

So, go back to the original post to submit your votes for "people's choice award." You can vote for your own drawing, and if only one person votes, then whoever they vote for will win!

Yayyyy contests.

The Chase Gaze: A Doodling Contest

"People who do great things look at the same world everyone else does, but notice some odd detail that's compellingly mysterious."

--Paul Graham

eh...?

My Denver buddy Jesse D. made a great sketch of my Facebook profile pic recently, in which I am giving a sidelong glance to a stuffed cat (right). This prompted me to doodle myself giving a sidelong glance to whom else but the scrutineer of my doodle (above).
Do I not look great giving sidelong glances!?
So here's what's happening: A Drawing Contest!

The  Contest

Submit the best possible drawing of me making a sidelong glance that you can doodle in five minutes or less. Use your imagination. Or photographic evidence of my existence (if you can find any). If you're real lucky you can get me to pose live! (As if I could sit still for five minutes.)

The drawings will be judged by someone who is impartial (to your drawings) but very very partial to my actual studly looks and sidelong glances.

Submit your drawings in the comments thread of this post, or email/facebook message me if you want to submit them some other way. I'll upload all the submissions into this post without the names of their artists so we can have a people's choice vote via the comments.

The judged winner and peoples' choice winner will each get Some Nifty Thing that I'll bring back from Nepal and mail to you when I return in about (gasp!) six weeks.

Pencils ready....

GO!
