THE NEW YORKER'S EUSTACE TILLEY CONTEST, 2008

THE NEW YORKER'S EUSTACE TILLEY CONTEST, 2008
The contest is now closed. No new entries will be accepted. Winners will be posted on newyorker.com on Monday, February 4.

Como ontem fiquei fora do ar, não consegui enviar os cinco desenhos que fiz para a contenda. Acima, veja o esboço de um deles.
Ano que vem tem mais. Eu acho.

Arrrepiando os cabelos

É, não teve jeito.
Estou doente desde aquelas terríveis 18 horas em aeroportos.
E hoje sucumbi.

Faça você mesmo a sua tecno-pop

Estou enrolando os posts, eu sei.
Mas hoje tive que resolver trocentos problemas no mundo real.
E mundo real não combina com mundo virtual.
Por isso, divirta-se com o link abaixo.

FL909 attempts to simulate the original sound of the Roland TR-909. This drumcomputer hits the market 1984 and was a long time the state of art in house and techno productions. Shift-Click the Step-buttons for accent triggers. Shift-Click-Move knobs for smoother resolution. Press Save to store a snapshot of the current settings to a flash cookie.

Many faces of Eustace Tilley

The Eustace Tilley Contest deadline is January 24!

Eustace Tilley was drawn by Rea Irvin, the magazine’s first art editor, for the cover of the first issue of The New Yorker, in 1925, and has returned for nearly every anniversary issue since. (Louis Menand gives a detailed history of Tilley.) Since 1994, the magazine has invited contributing artists to reinterpret this iconic dandy. A selection of these visual riffs appears here, along with an invitation to enter the Eustace Tilley Contest; rules appear below. Our favorite submissions will be featured on newyorker.com along with this year’s anniversary issue.

Bão, resolvi entrar na contenda da The New Yorker e estou a finalizar cinco desenhos do Eustace Tilley. Amanhã deverei postar.

Minha pipa está no ar

Passei a tarde soltando pipas com as crianças.
Foi muito bom.
Acho que já faziam 20 anos que eu não soltava pipa.
Usei um carretel de 150 metros.
E faltou linha.
