Greg Broadmore:

Here is my winner for the competition. I was incredibly impressed by the variety of entries and quite a few really stood out. It was a tricky choice. I didn`t choose my winner based simply on aesthetics or technical skill, as, well, that would make things too easy! I chose my winner mainly on it`s thoughtful and inventive way of looking at the concept. The 99 DS exhibition was not about taking itself too seriously, and there were a bunch of really cute and funny entries that made choosing a winner very difficult. A couple of those, as well as one that was technically beautiful are also listed here as commendations.

My winner:

99 Contest: Pocket full of change (99 cents)
Artist: Gerald de Dios
I thought Geralds entry was a really great, simple rendering that gestured the 99 concept from an unique tangent. Thanks for taking the time to create a great entry and I hope you enjoy the 99 Dodgy Slips book!

I also want to compliment:

Someone get the number on that license plate!
Artist: chrisgentes
This one was really funny and it was cool to see these new realisations of Christain`s and my pieces incorporated in the effort.

99 Tears
Artist: serio
Great stuff. I feel bad for those lil` guys. But now very grateful for my DS.

99 Days stranded
Artist: Harbadakus
Wow, great rendering. This piece deserves a high five just cos it`s rad.

I wish we had more prizes to give out as there so many great entries, too many to list here.
Thanks to every one for their effort.

/Greg Broadmore

Christian Pearce:

Hey-hey!
Man, what a great bunch of stuff! A whole bunch of really cool drawings, some of my favourites all came in a rush in the last few days. I don`t wanna recycle the old "so hard to choose, everything is awesome, I wish everyone could win" but I`m afraid I have to! Almost every entry got a WOW! or a Laugh Out Loud from me.

My favourite though has to be "99things would be make you happy??" by pacocolors. That one I thought was a lot of fun and really did be make me happy! I love the playback feature with Colors and watching the painting of this one really felt like an insight into the mind of the artist. I recommend checking it out!

Route 66 by Johnson was really close to being my favourite, a nice idea with great rendering.

old n gray n 99 lol by CrazyGrl did make me lol!

The Aftermath of 2099 by Johnson is better than any painting I`ve done on the DS. Impressive stuff!

And finally, 99 Tears by serio reminds us that with great toys also comes great suffering. A sobering image made all the more disconcerting by the cuteness of the characters.

Thanks heaps to everyone who entered, so many choice ones. Greg mentioned quite a few cool ones that I would have picked too, but really they are ALL great!
