Sometimes, I have something to post, but can’t quite tell which blog it belongs on. Today is one such instance. Last Friday, we got an email from joint Idiots’Books/Bobbledy Books subscriber Holly. The email contained an attachment: Holly’s submission to the Gorillas in the Kitchen contest. Clearly a Bobbledy Blog post, right? Something tells me it’s more aligned with Idiots’Books sensibilities.
You be the judge.
All I can say is, oh my.
Putting on my art director’s hat for a moment, Holly has done several things I admire.
She took the liberty of changing the title, which I thoroughly encourage anyone entering the contest to do.
She drew on revolutionary iconography to tap into a larger world of associations.
She made Che look sexy in cherry red lipstick. No easy feat, my friends. No easy feat.
And, finally, she spelled her name correctly. Not that this is a requirement, of course, but I feel she deserves some credit, nonetheless.
If you find yourself chuckling at Holly’s work, I suggest checking in on her web comic, the League of Lost Causes. And if you find yourself inspired to try to top her amazing cover with one of your own, I heartily encourage it.
