Alright folks, it’s Wednesday and we all know what that means….FREE WORK WEDNESDAY! I had a lot of great submissions and it was definitely hard for me to choose a winner. If I didn’t choose yours, don’t worry…there will be plenty of other chances. I will be posting a new piece every week. Remember to share the link with friends and family on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, word-of-mouth, etc. It will be a lot easier for me to stay motivated and continue this if there is a lot of interest and input. No fun in having a contest with one person. More competition, you might say? well then polish your literary skills and may the best person win.

The winner for last week’s Free Work Wednesday is Caralyn with “Momma’s Got a Squeezebox (left) and Daddy Never Sleeps at Night (right). Congratulations! I felt those titles went great together because they flow well (probably because they are lyrics from a Who song). I was a huge Who fan growing up and Keith Moon was one of my early inspirations to start drumming. The titles work well separately but fit into a context that helps viewer know they should be viewed as a pair. Note to Caralyn: email me your address so I can send you your free art. Email is nathanmonkart@gmail.com Thanks!

It’s great to see what everyone came up with. That’s what I love about art. Everyone gets something different out of it based on your life experiences. Great job people! Now it’s on for another round! Tell your kids, tell your wife, and tell your husband because I’m giving away another piece of art!

See you next week when I will announce the winner.
