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

Charity Challenge Week One Results

Week one is complete and we started out thing with a bang.

First though, let me thank the folks at the Webcomic Alliance for letting me hijack their site today and blog about the challenge.  If you are a cartoonist or interested in cartooning as a business, they offer a wealth of information, so check them out.  In addition, since several of their members are behind the Webcomics: What’s Cooking Book which is also raising money for hunger,  I promised to pay an additional $5 for every book they sold this month.  I’ll update at the end of the month on that tally.

Editorial Cartoon: Facebook and Email

Here is a potential real FAIL for you.  Facebook has announced that they will now offer email service for it’s members allowing you to send emails to people outside your friend list.  With all the controversy surrounding privacy issues with Facebook, I think I’ll take a pass.

What embarrassing things could Facebook reveal to your “friends” if this happened?  C’mon you can tell us; it won’t get past this blog.

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.
