You Can't Fight Love Contest Entries!

I've been reading a lot about the protests against Proposition 8, California's law against gay marriage. Ted Olson and David Boies, the two lawyers who fought each other over the Bush vs. Gore election in 2000, have, very inspirationally, teamed up to take the case to the Supreme Court to have the ban lifted not only in California, but in all of the United States. Even though I'm still small, even though I'm not an adult, I want to help in any way. My friend and I are making t-shirts that say "You Can't Fight Love," but I've wanted to do more. If I could, I'd be out giving speeches.

But I had this idea. Since I know so many fantastic artists and wonderful people who I've met on here, I wanted to have a contest. There are 4 places, (or more if more people want to take part). If you'd like to make a piece of art, supporting all kinds of love, please submit it, and if you like, I'll turn it into a poster, or a sticker, and hang them around my town. Not only will a message be spread throughout deviantART, but in places everyone sees them, and you can make posters too! The 4 winning places will be hung up around my town and my friends' towns, and I'll take pictures of all of them. And, for the top four submissions, each artist will receive a bracelet from me, mailed to them. (:

This isn't about winning, it's not just about propaganda in just my town, it's about hopefully getting something started to where we see these posters everywhere, in tons of towns, and so we see this message everywhere. We should not let the government create second-class citizens, denied of rights others have. I don't believe anyone has the right to tell another person they cannot marry the person they love.

Guidelines:

:star: Anyone may enter, no matter where you're from.
:star: Submit as many entries as you like!
:star: Please have the entry/entries focus on love, between not just a man and a woman, but a man and a man, and/or a woman and a woman. All kinds of love.
:star: If you'd like to have your entry eligible to be turned into a poster or a sticker, please say so in your description, or send me a note saying so. I will only use entries as posters/stickers with the artist's permission.
:star: The entries can be all sorts of mediums: traditional, digital, photography, collage, painting, anything.
:star: Please send links to your entries to THIS EMAIL: youcantfightlove@hotmail.com (they can be links to the deviantART submission, or a flickr submission, etc.)
:star: Please aim to have your entry/entries in by July 10th. (If you need more time, and I totally understand, just email me at the address above and let me know.)


Newest Fan Art! o':

Thank you so much to everyone who makes these, it's such a huge honor and I never thought of all people I would be getting fan art. Thank you thank you thank you! :smooch:

FACKS

(f.a.q.'s) c:

Can you make me an avatar?! OOOO:

You should check my journal to see if my requests are open - if there's a big squiggly "open!" sign in the avatar section, send me a note!


Can I use an avatar you made for someone else?

Only if they're not using it anymore. If they've changed avatars since then, you may.


What program do you use to make pixel avatars?

I use Adobe ImageReady 7.0. (It came with my Photoshop 7.0 CD).


I wanna make an avatar too!

You can use this little tutorial!



Can I use your art for my vector/painting/drawing/fan art, etc.?

Yes yes yes you may! You don't even need to ask, just so long as you credit me, and send me a note when you're done so I can see! C: :heart:


Can I trace one of your avatar designs for my own avatar?

No, this isn't a very good thing to do. People will like your avatar a lot more if they don't recognize the design from someone else.


Oh 0xo, can I buy you a guinea pig?

OH YES YOU CAN YOU WONDERFUL THING YOU ;0;

DISCLAIMER D':

ALL OF MY ART IS COMPLETELY MY OWN AND FROM MY OWN IMAGINATION. I DO NOT COPY ART FROM ANYONE. THAT'S BAD.

THIS IS MY ONLY ACCOUNT,
AND I AM THE ONLY REAL 0xo YOU WILL MEET ON DEVIANTART.

IF YOU SEE ANYONE COPYING/STEALING MY WORK, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

I know that this disclaimer is big and ugly and mean, but my art has been copied too many times, so I do need to put it up, so people don't think I'm the one stealing. ;3;

You Can't Fight Love Contest

Journal Entry: Mon Jun 1, 2009, 2:39 PM
  • Mood: Love
  • Listening to: Martina Topley-Bird
  • Reading: Finished 'Weetzie Bat', fantastic book!
  • Playing: going through a HUGE Majora's Mask binge
I've been gone a long time, and I'm very sorry. I owe a lot of people a lot of little icons, and I'm so sorry for that too. For a while I became afraid of going on here because I owe so many people so many things. While I haven't been posting art here I've been working on a children's story, one that I hope to have color illustrated and finished by the end of the summer to use in my college portfolio. My last day of school, my sophomore year, was Thursday, and summer for me has begun! I plan to do a lot of things. Erik and I (and for those of you who asked, or were wondering, my boyfriend Erik is the boy on my webcam) Erik and I plan on volunteering at a guinea pig rescue center near his house (yes, such a thing really does exist!) and I'm going to ask a town supervisor if I can paint a mural on a tagged-up concrete dam behind my house.

But this journal is about a contest I'd like everyone to take part in, called You Can't Fight Love. I've been reading a lot about the protests against Proposition 8, California's law against gay marriage. Ted Olson and David Boies, the two lawyers who fought each other over the Bush vs. Gore election in 2000, have, very inspirationally, teamed up to take the case to the Supreme Court to have the ban lifted not only in California, but in all of the United States.

I hope this little contest will create a lot of future posters, that a lot of people will see. That's my big hope. Thank you so much if you choose to take part in it!

(P.S., the beads I have for these bracelets are really pretty!)

Love,
Dee

deviantID

My name is Dianna and I want a guinea pig more than anything else in the entire world. I'm 15 years old and I live in a nice college town full of music and excellent Chinese-American food. After I go to college my dream is to be a psychologist and work with women who have eating disorders. I'd also like to be a children's book illustrator, and I think all animals should be really fat and make squeaky sounds.

>>>>staticwind
best avatars :D
.... o':

I'm honored you're asking me for ideas! I'm always very inspired by jewels and flowers, they're names and colors and incorporating them into the way people look, like characters inspired by objects. Maybe that'd be something to draw! I wish you a lot of luck with your pictures. (:
