Uhh.. Hi. Sorry it took me two days. Wow, thanks for the win! It's sort of sad that I won a photoshop contest with an unaltered image from Google and MSpaint. Pretty ironic. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Sorry. Anyway, on the the new thing or whatever.
Okay. I'll just do a stream of consciousness thing here... uh.. figs. No, wait... El Dorado. No, that doesn't mean anything. Hang on... bucket... potty... people that start with V... anglo-saxon ingenuity... fuck...
Okay, screw it. In honor of MSpaint(if this is allowed in a Photoshop contest), I would like to share with you kind people a game I made up one night at work when I was very bored. It's the most difficult game in the world. It's called "Abstract Noun Pictionary". The rules are simple. Draw a picture of an abstract noun, like love or respect.
Here is a definition:
"An abstract noun is a noun that refers to an idea, emotion, feeling, or quality that cannot be detected by the five senses (touch, taste, hearing, sight, smell).
Many abstract nouns are formed by adding noun-forming suffixes to adjectives, such as -ness and -ity in English, e.g. happiness, serenity. Other examples of abstract nouns in English include: beauty, bravery, deceit, history, size."
Simple. If you like, you can even use Photoshop to piece together images representing an abstract noun. You can't use letters or words or numbers. Anyone can give guesses for the submitted pictures. If a picture is guessed correctly, it will be placed in the winner's circle and I will choose the best correctly guessed submission. If nothing is guessed correctly, or nobody bothers to guess, I will ask the artists to give the answer and I will judge which most closely resembles the chosen abstract noun. I'll give you a week, week and half, whatever it takes. Multiple submissions are encouraged.
p.s. If doing an MSpaint contest in a Photoshop contest forum is taboo or something, I can think of something else. But I think it's pretty cool.
p.p.s. For you Mac users: I don't guess you have MSpaint.. does Mac have an equivalent? I have no idea. I guess either you're shit out of luck, or you'll make do. Sorry. You should have learned how to use a computer. (Anti-Mac barb. Forgive me.)
