So I decided to submit my first design. It was up for critique and got a few responses, mostly positive, but I hope the judges see this design as an interpretation of a broken mind. I know lots of others would have illustrated it a different way, but this is what I chose.

And if I get a big NEGATORY, so be it. I just think Vincent Van Gogh was fascinating, much like Howard Hughes and others. People with crippling mental illnesses who just happen to be geniuses at what they're passionate about. Madness is not a hindrance - there is no reason to not do what you love and do it well.

Check it out and show your support if you agree.

For more on Van Gogh check out his wiki page or visit your local library... : ) (cue 'the more you know' music)
