Free Caricature

That’s right, it is back. You can win a digital caricature of you, a friend, your dog or your favorite celebrity.   This is an exclusive contest for those following Beartoons on Facebook.  Don’t worry for those of you who don’t have Facebook, I will be doing other contests soon.

Here are the guidelines:

• Go to the Beartoons Facebook Page and hit the Like Button
• Add a comment there that you want to be included in the contest
• Share the contest with your Facebook friends for an additional entry.  Let me know in the FB comments
• Enter by Midnight Tuesday July 5.
• Winner will get a free digital version of their caricature.  Use it as a gravatar, on facebook or however you would like.

Entrants must allow me to use one of their source pictures in a blog post to show the results and as always my disclaimer is there is no guarantees that you will think the finished product looks anything like you.  But that is a better guarantee (and price) than those crappy street caricature artists give.

Good luck

Win a Free Caricature!

Got some work and personal stuff going on the next week or so, therefore it is time again for a contest.

WHEN:
Now until noon US Eastern Time on Sunday September 12.

WHAT:
Get yourself and as many of your friends on facebook to go to my facebook fan page (http://facebook.com/beartoons) and hit that “Like” button and then tell me that they are now following me because of you.  They can tell me via this post or via facebook.  You can also just click the “like” button on the Facebook widget on the right.

For every person that is added as a fan (including yourself) and credits you will earn you an entry into the drawing.  And for those already a fan…no you cannot unlike me and then like me to earn another entry.

HOW:
Use your blog, facebook, twitter and get the word out.  For example you might post on facebook.

I want to win a caricature of myself.  So do me a favor and go to http://facebook.com/beartoons and hit the “like” button and tell Bearman I sent you.

PRIZE:
Your choice of either a  caricature of your face (or someone elses) or select your favorite design from the store and I send you a t-shirt.

I will select at least one winner (assuming I get at least one more fan).  I’ll have two winners if the number of fans goes over 175 and three if it goes over 200.

CAVEAT:
a.  The caricature, if chosen, will be a 8×10 image of your head only and will be in my style so…
b.  It may look like you, it might not.  Depends on what you look like.  I make no promises that I won’t make you uglier or better looking than you actually are.

I’ll be online some but not posting again until I announce the winner.  I’ll make comments here when I can and try to make my usual blog rounds on occassion.

Good luck.

UPDATE:  Blog about this on your site and I’ll throw in another entry.  Just let me know in the comments if you do.

Other Contests Around the Web

As well as my own Editorial Cartoon Caption Contest (still time to enter), there are several friends around the net that are also doing contests.

Jill at Elemental My Dear is holding a contest all month long encouraging readers to use to their own blog to “submit a post that reflects the saying “April Showers Bring May Flowers” in any format you may like such as…photography, poetry, short story, cartoon, etc.”  She will link to your posting and give away 3 5×7 photos.

Ken at Rick the Stick is encouraging readers to come up with creative ways to promote his webcomic.  I tried my hand at a theme song for Ken (we’ll have to wait and see if Ken ever lets it make the light of day as I need Britney Spears engineer to make me sound good).   Contest goes through the 25th of this month and the winner will be tooned as a guest star in the strip.

Samantha of Life’s a Witch is having a one week contest to win copies of her comic collections.  Every tweet or comment on her site will earn you easy entries.

Finally, not a contest but Nate is looking for guest cartoonists to take on his adorable characters from Knocking on Heavens Door as Fan Art.  I have to clean up my act before I can figure out what to submit.

Health Care Cartoon Caption Contest

Ever since Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi stated so eloquently about the Health care Bill, “…we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it…”, I have been questioning what exactly was in the bill.  Now that it is passed of course the add ons are coming out.   Included is a rider that now effectively eliminates the banks as a middle-man for student loans.  Instead the loans would be provided by the government.  Again this was in the Health Care Bill!

So what else do you think will come out that was hidden in the Health care Bill?  Are you funny?  We like funny?  Submit your thoughts in the comments section.  Next Monday I’ll post my favorites for all my readers to vote on.  The winner will get a signed copy of the final cartoon and have their banner ad posted to the right for at least 2 weeks.

If you don’t have a banner ad already on my links page, why not?  Send me a link or the banner (125×125).  Don’t worry if you have a blog/site but can’t make the banner.  If you are the winner, I’ll also make one for you.

Bonus points for people who promote this contest on your own blog, facebook or share via one of the social bookmarks below.  (just let me know in the comments).

Remember, your entry doesn’t have to be anything related to health care.  Also anyone know what is meant by a “Hidden Mickey” (the title of the toon)??
