A couple of days ago I told a blogger that goes by the name ‘Pink Jellybaby‘ that I’d like to re-do her avatar (which features a pink jellybaby under an cocktail umbrella, on a beach). It sounded like a lot of fun, tearing open a bag of jelly babies, and leaving only the pink ones undevoured. Tearing limb from limb, rending head from boy — a true jelly baby genocide.
But then I got thinking… why should I re-do her avatar? Why shouldn’t it be some other blogger’s? Maybe another blogger has an even greater name with even more interesting possibilities for an avatar or logo.
So I’m going to hold a competition, to see which blogger gets their name (or blog’s theme) interpreted by me, the photographer. If you blog about emo relationship problems, I’ll create some kind of morbid montage — but if your blog is about shiny, happy things (what are the chances?) I’ll try my best to embody that in a photo of… happy things!
I don’t quite know what form the competition will take, but I’ll try to get it finalised for later today.
Oh, I’m also working on some cool bar of photos that will scroll across the top of my blog… I’m sure you’ll notice it when I get it working. Happy Friday!

Hell, do me, man. I’m looking for a redesign once I head off to LA. Something cleaner than my current chipped paint layout.

Sure, I’ll … do you.
Hm, maybe that was slightly more homoerotic than I had planned…
Wait for the competition rules, Eric! But your eagerness is noted!

Ohhhh boooo. Does that mean I don’t get mine then?!

Maybe! I’m having a bit of a moral dilemma — I’m not sure if I actually promised to do yours, or if I merely suggested it…
But I am sure you would win the competition anyway!!
