Self Portrait Contest -- Vote for me, please!

[Atman]

I've entered the Jerry's Artarama Self Portrait Contest, with a chance to score a $4000 first prize. I sure could use a little love from my fellow DUers!

I NEED YOUR VOTE between April 6th-April 21st! They start announcing the winners shortly thereafter.

The link below takes you to the voting page. You can see the other entrants by clicking the "BACK" button near the top left of the page. Thanks, in advance! - Atman

10. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I'm not in the lead, but faring pretty well so far. And I'm not even a hateful Christian pizza shop!

Seriously, thanks to all who've voted. This would be great for me -- I've got a big art show coming up in late summer. I'd use the money to frame some new pieces and buy new displays. Every vote counts! Love you all, DU!

nice work presented.

[Atman]

14. BE POSITIVE, FLA DEM!

This is the first round! Voting just started today. I'm doing pretty well, all things considered, wouldn't you agree? Believe me, I'll be pressin' the flesh over the next couple of weeks. Keep this bumped! I'm actually pretty impressed with my standing, in the top tier, considering that there are something like 1,000 entries!

[frogmarch]

13. Finally! I tried and tried

but failed to cast my vote for you until I realized that first I had to type in my email address and THEN click the Vote button. Once I did that, I immediately rec'd an email with a clickable link to confirm my vote. YAY!

I hope you win, Atman! Love your portrait!

[Atman]

15. Thank you!

[brer cat]

Best of luck to you. DU can make this happen...we need to keep this kicked.

[petronius]

17. Done! Good luck!

So far, so good - you've cracked the first page, when sorted by votes...

Is it a one-time-only thing, or can we vote every day?

[LiberalElite]

18. to other voters - first enter your email address

then vote. I voted and voted and voted and got nowhere till I figured that part out.

[LiberalElite]

20. 1 more thing - after you vote - you'll get an email asking

that you click on link to confirm.

[KMOD]

22. Yes!

I didn't realize that for awhile.

I thought the email was to confirm my vote, and I didn't read it at first. But you only complete the voting, by confirming on that link.

30. Vote confirmed.

Good luck my friend!

[Atman]

31. Thank you! Vote, baby, vote!

I'm tied for #8. Bring it on, DU! This will pay for me to be able to display at several art shows this year.

I love you all...what a great community!

[redwitch]

32. I'd vote again if I could!

But this kicks the thread back up for the evening shift anyway.

[Smithryee]

33. Psst.. Revive HOO Cares

You could make it integrate with Obamacare!

[Atman]

45. OMG...thank you.

I really need to get back on that. It was so spot-on when I created it. I keep looking back at those old comic strips and seeing how relevant they were. Some of the gags are outdated, but most of it is perfect for the current climate.

Thanks for the encouragement. Coincidentally, I just did a spring cleaning of my studio over the last couple of days. Maybe it's a sign..."Draw, draw!"

[NuclearDem]

34. Voted.

Nice work!

[lovemydog]

35. Voted. I liked yours the best.

There's some great portraits there. I really like yours, with the double reference to you drawing your own self portrait.

Good luck Atman!

[Atman]

46. DU is the best!

Thanks all for the votes. I honestly expected I'd be knocked out in the first round. My selfie is not very conventional. It blows my mind that I'm in fifth place so far. Love and hugs to DU!

[Atman]

47. Still in the running!

I dropped back to seventh place. Was in fifth yesterday. Good showing either way. Thanks DUers! If you haven't voted (or if you got that stupid "Sorry, something went wrong" message) please try again.

[Atman]

48. If you don't vote...

...I have to go live in a van by the river.
