I am doing this. If you know me then you know your art talent exceeds mine and thus you should also enter. My first draft was okay but I did it on lined notebook paper and the shading was odd, so I'm doing it over. Let my testament be a gauntlet thrown for the rest of you. (Official gauntlet pending actual submission)

Yes! Gauntlets! You boys are the best.

Gauntlet accepted.

It's a MouseOver, but it doesn't preload the drawing, so you'll have to wait for it to load before you see how my tracing skills are. Yes, I cheated, I traced. Guess what, it's still pretty bad.

looks good. email it for inclusion.

my first go failed miserably. will try again soon.

crazymonk | Thu, 10/27/2005 - 5:41pm

If you don't mind cheating, you should print it out and trace... it's 10 times easier.

DoorFrame | Thu, 10/27/2005 - 5:48pm

nah, we'll see how it goes.

crazymonk | Thu, 10/27/2005 - 7:07pm

Failure is not an option! :) Just send me what you have; no need to make multiple drafts!

sio | Thu, 10/27/2005 - 7:17pm

if you wish.

crazymonk | Thu, 10/27/2005 - 7:26pm

Here you go, I got you a link from Boing Boing.

DoorFrame | Fri, 10/28/2005 - 4:46am

Nice! Sio, you're famous! (At least among nerds.)

crazymonk | Fri, 10/28/2005 - 9:02am

hey, no fair! now it's all artists and stuff!

jon may | Fri, 10/28/2005 - 10:26am

Fame at last! ...C'mon, Jon, gimme your drawing.

sio | Sat, 10/29/2005 - 8:12pm

go internet.

seriously, i have to redo, since i sort of destroyed my first attempt.

crazymonk | Sat, 10/29/2005 - 9:10pm

What is with you two! I did this thing, what the heck are you waiting for.

DoorFrame | Sat, 10/29/2005 - 9:45pm

doorframe's name is james according to the flikr eye:hand project! i found out who he is!

nach | Sat, 10/29/2005 - 10:33pm

what's that about?

crazymonk | Sat, 10/29/2005 - 11:22pm

I'm not the biggest fan of having my name and my face together online. I don't have a good reason for it.

DoorFrame | Sun, 10/30/2005 - 8:31am

By the way, my hand drawing looks SO LAME next to all the really artistic people's ones. I regret submitting it to Boing Boing now.

DoorFrame | Sun, 10/30/2005 - 3:21pm

nah, you know who looks really lame? The artistic people who included their websites, viewing eye:hand as a publicity channel instead of a fun thing. Also me for cheating, sorta, but I liked that picture and attempt more than the others. Lips are too damn hard!

jon may | Tue, 11/01/2005 - 1:06pm

I'm fine with cheating, seeing as I traced...

DoorFrame | Tue, 11/01/2005 - 3:17pm

And somehow I never read this either...but it's making me laugh. I agree with doorframe (aka James), hence the Anne of GG cover on mine. :)
