-Create Your Sketch On Blank Cover Variant With Coffee Stains (Maximum of 2 Entries)

Speaking of coffee stains ... I took it to mean: (Create Your Sketch) (On Blank Cover Variant With Coffee Stains). So my brother is a pretty good artist and I asked him to sketch a couple of covers in Robert Crumb's style ... one of Alejandro Arbano as an old man and the other of Harada in a suit. So here is one ...

... and the other.

I wonder what it would be like to be a lonely, muck-encrusted monster? Probably be an improvement.

THIS PROMO ENDS TODAY AT 11:59 PM PST!

To date, there are 34 participants among the three sites where this promo is running. Last year there were 41 winning participants. Will we collectively top the 41 number? My guess is that there will be a flurry of entries as this winds down.

Will give a full update on where this finished up this weekend!

Elery and I LOVE the entries and the originality which everyone has shown. It's been a whole lot of fun for us and it looks like for you as well.

We have shared these with VEI so we expect that some of them will be showing up on their social media sites soon.

Now, GO POST AWAY for one more day! Can't wait to see what else comes in and what members join this promo :clap:

Unfortunately, I'm probably not going to make an entry :(

Wife is really sick and I'm just getting over 2 weeks+ of being the sickest I've ever been in my life

(Also explains why I've been a little grouchy on the boards lately :oops: )
