Some years ago I offered a teacher in the Philippines to have her classroom design a graphic for a chapter of a book. I didn't use it, but it wasn't too bad and may use it in the future and maybe more like it. Children often have a unique perspective we older folk tend to filter out.

I'm in a real bind. My designer flaked out on me. A guy by the name of David Thorne. I paid him in Bitcoin for a big project in June, but by the time he worked out what Bitcoin was, they'd dropped in value from $30 to $2 and he kept repeating something about 'legal tender' ad nauseum

Is this a joke? Are you the brunt of the joke? I think I saw a presentation in Boston several years ago by this David Thorne in which he engages in bizare correspondence with the goal of publishing and mocking the second party. His work is quite funny actually, but I imagine you know that. Otherwise, brace yourself. Smiley

Thanks, that would be great! The more interest the better.

Closing date is european style by the way - so 9th Jan 2012, not the other way round.

Yikes!

I'm in a real bind. My designer flaked out on me. A guy by the name of David Thorne. I paid him in Bitcoin for a big project in June, but by the time he worked out what Bitcoin was, they'd dropped in value from $30 to $2 and he kept repeating something about 'legal tender' ad nauseum and got real pissy about it. During a long (and frankly bizarre) e-mail exchange, his attitude got really bad and the standard of his work really dropped - look at the last thing he's sent me!

I told him that a child could do better!

Do you have a child that can do better?

   (I'll need to fit it to pixel size of 960x192 for website)
3. It should feature the words 'Free Trade Collective' in big letters
4. It should be about the subject of yard sale/recycling goods/market/shop/craft/trade.
5. Submitted digitally - send a clear photo of artwork. No larger than 200K please. [email protected]
