And the Penguin Vectorama Glory Goes To….

Posted on April 20, 2008

 

Congratulations to our new Champ: Emily Wong of Ninja vs Penguin. Her ninja penguin was certainly a hit. How can you not love a ninja penguin? Impossible I think.

I loved all the entries with all my heart and I’ll give all the designers some link love (right after this stawberry daiquiri) and can’t wait til next month to see what everyone will create. (and I will extend next month’s competition for a few weeks so busy designer peeps can have some time to create uber vectors.

Thanks to everyone that voted. There was some serious smack talking going on… It was a little scary at times, but I guess the pursuit of vector glory brings out all kinds of craziness.

PS. Saw the Mayan Ruins of Chichen Itza yesterday. Was seriously cool. I’ll post some picts later. Right now I’m heading to the beach to do some snorkeling and frolicking in the crystal clear waters. Don’t feel jealous, I’m taking loads of photos and videos so you can all feel like you were here…. but you weren’t so I guess it will still suck for you. I could photoshop you in?

    Hi Lisa,
    I hope you’re enjoying your holiday (from the viddy, it sure looks like it). Thanks so much for the fun contest!

    All the designers did such a great job. The tiger penguin was especially cute.

    Haha, it’ll be mine if you allow entries made in the GIMP… I made “Not this again” in the last 6 hours of my trial version of FireWorks CS3

    Biscuits eh? What kind?

    Chichen Itza es precioso. Es una de las verdaderas joyas de Mexico. Desafortunadamente, no todo el mundo sabe esto. Ellos piensan que Cancun o Puerto Vallarta son Mexico. Not true :)

    I’m *almost* afraid to leave a comment on your blog, Lisa, being as I think I’m such a conversation stopper!

    Por cierto, me di cuenta de que hablas español. :) Podemos <a href=”www.twitter.com/hummingbird604″Twitter-ear en español! Hehehehe.
