This imaginative little boy is the surro-baby of my friend The Smartness AKA @JWMoxie. She cried out for help last week cuz Sam has leukemia. That's cancer folks.
Why the contest? Morale!
Sam just started chemo and he's bravely facing the ordeal with his parents, Terry and Stephanie, and a very fine companion named Chemo Duck. I wanna cheer them on.
Now, when you're four... your imagination is in free flow, unfettered by responsibilities. So for this contest, I want you to pretend that you are four years old, like Sam! Use your imagination.
All you have to do to enter is comment below, like this:
- "Dear anummated laydi, I'm 4 years old, my name is _________ and I want you to draw me dooing _________. Draw me as cool as Supah-Sam."
- Get out there in the real world and hug somebody you love. This part is super important. If you don't do it your name will be mud.
- Then Stumble, Tweet, G+ or Facebook this contest. Use this hash tag liberally - #SaveOurSam.
Zee Rules: You can only enter once. Most inspiring entry wins. I get to decide that and if you want to know how my brain works, well, just check out a few of my previous contests. If there's over a hundred entries I'll award a few consolation prizes. Contest closes Friday December 2nd at midnight. Winners announced the following Monday.
By entering this contest, you agree to allow me to draw you and to blog the drawing of you. I own the artwork but you can use it as your avatar if you want!
I like to get behind causes from time to time. A little animation can go a long way.

ReplyDeleteWell, I know this is outside of the parameters you have, but I thought it couldn't hurt to have a little backstory:
ReplyDeleteZephyr
Zephyr is a proud strong and brave horse with a beatiful golden Z on his chest. His magical power is contained in the golden star filled with warm light that is Zephyr's constant companion. The funny thing about Zephyr's light is that flowers spring up all over the place when it shines, and it acts like a beacon for bunnies, chipmunks and fawns and the like to come and play and snuggle, while Zephyr stands watch. Zephyr has a special understanding of what it feels like to be sick, as he was quite sick as a wee pony. He became well, and in the process was made even stronger than he would have been, AND he now has a magical star. Zephyr is loyal and true, and once he is your friend, he will forever remain by your side.
I was thinking a drawing of Supah-Sam - perhaps riding Zephyr w/his star above - would be cooler than a drawing of me. :-)

OMG I just started chemo too. And I'm an artist!! Am I allowed to steal chemo duck as a character and draw him from time to time? :D
ReplyDeleteHey Mango - Chemo Duck is an actual stuffed animal they give to kids going through chemo, to teach them how the meds work. You can find out more about it here. So if I just drew the duck that Sam has, you prolly can too, right?
ReplyDeleteI hope your chemo goes well, and that you feel ok soon. Please lemmeeno how it goes.
