I Paint 4 U!

*EDIT*: If you post an offensive image, I WILL delete your comment. Sorry, but I'm not going to spend time painting something that I'm uncomfortable showing to my family. If your image is deleted, just post a new one instead.

*Edit Mar. 20*: I'm going to make the decision on Tuesday, March 24. So make sure your picture is linked by then!

I want to post more art, but work consumes so much creative energy that when I have time to work on my own thing, I just can't think of anything to draw. But I had this brilliant idea that allows you to do the thinking for me! Here's how it could work:

- Leave a comment and link a drawing you would like digitally painted (preferably one of yours, or your kids' drawings, I'm not going to work on something I don't have permission for).

- I'll select two drawings out of the comments: One at random, and one that I really like.

- I'll paint the drawings and send you the high-res file so you can do whatever you want with it.

- And maybe, if it turns out cool enough, I might make a print and send it to you.

Also, I can't figure out how to post a link in comments, but if you log in using the "Name/URL" field instead of your Google ID, you can put your link in the URL spot. OR just post your picture on your blog and I'll get to it through your Profile (just make sure you let me know which one). Please don't just write the link in your comment though. I don't want to copy-paste a ton of links. Thanks!

Sweet, sounds like a fun idea. Have at this one, or any other on my site for that matter...

I did the url thing, but just in case:

oh, and feel free to remove the copy right tag, it's on there by default with all my postings.

I rather fub'd up the painting on this sketch I did so it'd be interesting to see someone with the skillz give it the one two punch.

Marilyn said...

My son did this really cute picture of a monkey you could paint over . . . a sad, four-eared monkey . . . or do you feel you've exhausted that genre? :)

Tyson Murphy said...

What a neat idea Sam! Can't wait to see the results (and my sketch should be in URL)

Cuacomekiki said...

This is the opportunity a was waiting for.

I send you my work months ago but I was too afraid to ask to you to paint it. PLEASE PICK ME!!!!!

Cedric Hohnstadt said...

Cool idea! Feel free to take a shot at one of the flying bison I've posted.

Hi Sam I like your idea and saw what you did before .
You can have a look of the first cartoon my son Yoan did he was 5 years old but now he reached 6.
Usually he likes robot but that time was a monster .

Stijn Van Doorselaere said...

Sounds great!
I would be honored if you would be willing to color this creature I drew:

First one is Santa on his day off, and second is an old character, still evolving called 'The Don'

Look forward to whoever's you choose :)

Tom Travers said...

Awesome idea. I can't wait to see the results on whatever you pick. I hope I am submitting mine the right way.

alan Anderson said...

I'd like to see what you can do with this one. I like the drawing but it doesn't 'pop'.

Let me try posting the proper way. Feel free to give Santa some underpants so as not to cause any offence ;)

Hey Sam, my friend has a kooky pencil drawing you may enjoy having some creative fun with.

Great idea, sharing the wealth.

Hello said...

Hey, i think my friend posted one of my pieces here, so i'd like to return the favour for him- ive chosen his minotaur painting because it always makes me smile.

Pigmalion said...

I'm sorry, I really didn't think the image was offensive.

Maybe this one?

I'm sure competition will be fierce, but I'll try anyways. My proposed drawing was done by my 7 year old cousin. I was drawing and she just sat besides me and started drawing along. She made a bunny from memory and I just loved it to death! Kids are awesome at drawing. Thanks for doing this.

Cheers!

Zim said...

Yesterday I asked my sister to draw a landscape and today she gave me this drawing. Hope you like it :)

Heather Dixon said...

Oh, sweet. I wish I had something good enough! Instead I'll just wait for the awesomeness.

sheber said...

What a great idea! I only wish that I had more time to flesh out some concepts. At any rate, you can find my submission in the name/url.

Nate said...

Hopefully it's not too late.

Steve-o said...

Sam here is mine if you so choose. i had two versions of the girl both pretty much the same change what you would want. This is awesome
