i see other folks beggin for votes around here, so i figure i might as well join the crowd...

ok kids, so here is the skinny. a great opportunity presented itself to me and i jumped on it. i entered myself into a contest to have a snowboard made by Arbor to be sold exclusively through the company REI. the contest has been up for awhile, but since i work slow i am just getting my work up on their site. i am a bit late to the game, so........

i need VOTES!!!! please!!! the contest ends January 9th!!!! all you have to do is go on there and register and put "thumbs up" for me. feel free to add comments as well that say how awesome i am, etc etc. if i can make it to the top 5 designs, i will go to the final round which will be judged by a panel of judges from both companies. this could be a great opportunity for me and a chance to fulfill a dream of mine.

so without further delay, here is the link:

VOTE! spread the word! tell your friends to vote! tell your imaginary friends to vote! please help me to win this thing and i will be your friend forever!

thanks a ton!

oh, and here are the images in a bigger better size with some close-ups. the original artwork is on two 16 x 20 inch claybords and was done with watercolor, ink, sandpaper, steel wool, and a scratching nib.
