Last week RBeezy challenged me to an Illustrator-Off. Being an ultra competitive person and an “expert” at all things Adobe, I am taking up this challenge with a fiery passion that feels like a cross between heartburn and sea sickness. No one said that creativity felt good.
And without further ceremony, I present my entry into the challenge:
I know. It’s powerful. You definitely got your work cut out for you.
If you think you can produce an Illustrator design of great technical merit and expression email a 500×500 (max) JPG it to me: mostlylisa *at* gmail *dot* com. Take that Spam P1r@+z!
I will post your entries on my blog (no matter how feeble I they are) and let my fans vote for the winner of the First Annual Mostly Lisa Illustrator Vectorama. The winner will receive a coveted spot on my sidebar linking their winning design to their website. That advertising will be golden my friend, golden. And if I win, I’ll just put another picture of myself. People seem to like it. Why stop now?
Mostly Lisa’s Illustrator Vectorama Entry Rules:
- You must use Illustrator (obviously)
- Your design must not scare small children or warp the minds of impressionable youth
- You must include some kind of text that encapsulates the meaning of your illustration
Entry deadline is at midnight on Sunday March 9th. Let the challenge begin!

It’s on! I’m gonna cash this contest cheque like a welfare mom at Money Mart! (sorry, that’s the best simile I could think of)

Oh this is going to get messy. I can almost feel the lack of creativity in my brain. The strain…the pain…the battle between the binary brain vs. the creative.
Oh and already - an idea *ZAPP* /brain freeze

Ah crap. I should probably flex my animator-illustrator muscles now and whip up some quick fun.
