Masters of the Halloween Costume

First off, thank you everyone who sent me photos of their Halloween/Halloween-related-party costumes. Secondly, sorry to all of the Max's who were disqualified (I know at least 2 of you).

OK, so these are the winners:






















Winner #1 is Jerry Pham in San Jose, California. He wins because his costume is fucking metal.

Winner #2 is Yvette in LA, California. She didn't know who Linda Cardinelli was, which is totally fucked up and made her lose all sorts of points, but because she looks so rad as Velma, what could I do? She had to win.

What's also fucked up is that I just wanted one winner, but couldn't decide between these 2, so now I have to give another free painting out. Jesus. Do I look like I'm made out of free paintings? What, do you think free paintings grow on trees and shit? Get a job, and a life, you pinko commie scumbag! Oh, where was I? OH! Yvette's art blog is here - http://yvetteyoung.wordpress.com/ - check it!!!

COSTUME CONTEST

COSTUME CONTEST

I'm having a contest. A Halloween costume contest. I'll send the winner a painting of him or herself in costume.

Here are the instructions:

1. E-mail me a picture or link to a picture of you in costume no later than Monday, November 2nd 2009 @ 11:59PM. My e-mail address can be found on my website - here.
2. Wait for a few days. Twiddle your thumbs, drink coffee, pace around, do whatever you can to kill the time for a few days.
3. I'll post the winner's photo here on Friday, November 6th 2009, roughly between 12:00 AM and 11:59 PM.

So those are the instructions, but here are the rules! :

1. No pictures of your pets in costumes. Yeah, I know your li'l bulldog looks cute dressed like Han Solo, but he ain't winning.
2. Kids are fucking rad, so your kid or little brother or sister can win. Totally. However, they should be of the age where they could speak. Like, I guess what I'm trying to say is no drooling babies. I'm an egotistical jerk, and want the winner to be mentally capable of being stoked about winning, so no super-little shits, please.
3. No Kanye, Max from the Where the Wild Things Are, or Lady Gagas, PLEASE.
4. Please resize your pictures so they're not epicly huge. I'm not gonna disqualify anyone who sends huge pictures, but I'd rather not have humongous pictures. Basically, I'll respect you more as a human being if you send me decent-sized pictures.
5. I'm not considering any submissions after November 2nd, 2009 @ 11:59 PM. None. Get them pics to me before then. E-mail address is kylepellet [ a-t ] yahoo d-o-tcom. It's also here.
6. If you're outside of the the U.S. and Canada and you win, I'll pay up to $10 to ship the work, but if it's gonna cost any more, you agree to pay the difference.

That's it. Good luck!

Costume Party!



Hey! So I'll be posting more details on Monday, but I thought I'd give you all a head's up on Pellet's 2009 Costume Party. Basically, you all e-mail me photos of you in costume, I pic the person with the raddest costume, I paint a portrait of you in that costume and I mail it off to ya. Sound good? Alright, then!
The latest you can send me photos is Sunday, November 1st, 2009 @ 11:59 PM. Above are some brilliant ideas I have for costumes that you can use.
My e-mail address is on my website, so go here to get in touch with me if you already don't know how to get in touch with me (www.pelletfactory.com).
Oh, and these drawings will be on display in Downtown Redwood City come Sunday afternoon. If you're interested in buying any of 'em. Let me know.

Blog Networking and Stuff

Man, I'm still trying to figure out how to follow blogs, and what that even means.

This weekend is APE in SF. I haven't been to APE for 10 years. Last time I attended, it was held in Downtown San Jose. I cornered Winston Smith and talked to him for 10 minutes about things an annoying 17 year old likes to talk abou. He was nice about it.

It's pouring right now. My room is freezing and my toes are stiff. I think I'm gonna do a free art giveaway sometime within the week. I'll post about it if it really happens.

Here's a painting I did last week:

Oh! Jesse Balmer and Skinner have a show at Double Punch this Saturday. There are other artists too, but I'm a dick and too lazy to get the info right here and now because I'm craving an apple, some raw broccoli, baby carrots and a kraft singles half-sandwich with mustard. But yeah, this Saturday @ DoublePunch in SF is a show not to be missed. I'm gonna go warm up some bread and get a piece of cheese outta the fridge. Talk to ya later!

(OK, I felt like a jerk omitting the other artist/artists names who are exhibiting this Saturday... they're Bryan Schnelle, and Steve Seeley. I was just unfamiliar with their work until I did a search on them right now, and shame on me for almost not crediting them for what's gonna be a glorious show. OK, back to making my cheese sandwich.)
