Project Stacee - Thank You!!

Journal Entry: Thu Oct 2, 2008, 3:59 PM

PROJECT COMPLETE

Thank you to everyone that got involved with Project Stacee!! I am still waiting to hear from one artist that got into an accident this week. Their art will be added to the project this week if I hear from them. I thought it would be fair to give an artist with the use of only one arm an extra day. I hope no one minds. To make it more fair, I'll accept any new art submissions until midnight tomorrow, Friday, October 3.
Instructions for judges will be sent out this weekend. The three best artworks will be announced on Friday, October 17, 2008. Thanks again to everyone!



Stacee, Age 8

ABOUT STACEE

The above photo is a picture of Stacee. Stacee was only 8 years old when she and her mother tragically died on October 17, 1999. The photo was taken shortly before their deaths. Stacee would have been 17 years old this year.
A friend of mine recently contacted me with Stacee's story, and she told me that Stacee's grandmother only has this single photo of Stacee. As you can see, the image is badly damaged.


PROJECT OBJECTIVE

The objective of this project is to invite artists to either restore the photo or use it as a reference to create art work in any medium for Stacee's grandmother and the rest of their family.
Stacee's grandmother has approved this project, and she's given me permission to allow project participants to use the photo. The photo is NOT a stock image! It is only to be used in the context of this project.


You may use this stamp to promote Project Stacee.
Thank you!


PROJECT OUTLINE
PROJECT DEADLINE: OCTOBER 1, 2008

Entries for this project will be viewed by Stacee's grandmother and judged by a panel of deviant artists. To encourage more participation in this project, the 3 best entries will be rewarded with prizes.
Project entries can be found in my favorites.


Fixing Stacee's Photo

  • ALL styles of art are welcome. For example, you may use photo manipulation, painting, sketching, vector drawing, etc.


  • Stacee's hair and eyes were brown.


  • Stacee's eyebrows have worn off and need to be touched up.


  • Her shirt used to be solid green and gold, but you may "dress" her any way you like.


  • The cute little lines in her smile (from the sides of her nose to her lips, and the lines by her eyes and eyelids) should be restored.


  • Water spots need to be removed.


  • Any background you want to add is fine, but please remember to make your project entries respectful and tasteful for Stacee's grandmother to view.


    • Project Rules

  • All entries must be uploaded to your gallery at deviantART in the correct category with a link to this contest in each entry's description. Also, if you use stock art in your work, please link back to where you found your resources. (FAQ #81: How can I make links to other deviants, deviations, or websites?)


  • Entries must be sent to `FantasyStock via NOTE no later than 11:59pm on October 1, 2008.


  • Each artist is invited to send up to 5 entries.


  • As a special thanks for your participation, 3 project entries will be selected by a panel of judges to recieve prizes. These "winning" entries will be announced by October 17, 2008.

    I would take it on, but am not great at forensic photo restoration. If I had a restored image to start from, then I could do something with it. Otherwise all I can do is pull off a half-assed Patrick Nagel-style piece, maybe.

    Some Artful Words of Wisdom:

    "A man paints with his brains and not with his hands."
    - Michelangelo (1475-1564)

    "A picture is something which requires as much knavery, trickery, and deceit as the perpetration of a perfect crime."
    - Edgar Douglas (1834-1917)

    "Poeple don't realize what they have when they own a painting by me. Each picture is a phial with my blood. That is what has gone into it."
    - Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)
