find me ART! contest (in Contests)

I am looking for art, photographs, drawings, paintings, anything of that sort for:

70's related.

*and*

Latino/Salsa related.


I will be using this to draw inspiration for our Spring show theme so that I can create an appropriate background....so make it good! =)


100k for the 70's related one, 100k for the Latino/Salsa related one.


Prizes may be increased if the quality is high enough.

Go at it! =)

You mean pictures like this?

The inspiration would be the background of the sunset and with the girl with the flowers.  that guy seems a little suss

This is kind of 60's and 70's.

Well this is the 70's... http://meathaus.com/2007/02/06/hairstyle-names-from-1970s-ebony-ad/

70s Pictures





Salsa/Latino

So far I like Jad, Juzza, and Glory's Salsa pictures...but none of the 70's stuff is quite what I'm looking for yet. Keep it up guys ^.^

And don't forget

"Prizes may be increased if the quality is high enough"

So find good pictures for me! =)

Any particular aspect of the 70s?

Hm. I'm looking in the direction of scenery - background, backdrop, etc. - and people - clothing style, hairstyle, posture, activity, dancing, etc...

Not sure, just looking for something looking like the "70's scene", I suppose. =)

Woodstock '79

[Admin Edit]


It's a gallery of album covers - there are a couple in there that fit both your requirements. Whether they're any good or not is a complete other matter though! ;)

Johnny, there's some amazingly un-PG stuff in that link...

I didn't see anything there that struck me as un-PG. Innuendo for sure, but lots of Seventies album covers are close to the mark. I guess it's a matter of who's looking at. ;)

Nah, one of those particularly was *definitely* un-PG. If an admin could remove that link that'd be cool, I've seen it so its served its purpose anyways...

Apologies for that.

"Hm. I'm looking in the direction of scenery - background, backdrop, etc. - and people - clothing style, hairstyle, posture, activity, dancing, etc..."<br><br>

Background - tie-dye van
Backdrop - open field
Clothing - tie-dye t-shirts and headbands
Hair - really long, everywhere
Posture - zen meditation pose
Activity - doing illegal substances and making love
Dancing - the "Hippie Twirl"

The '70s isn't hard to describe. Love, peace, long hair, everywhere, body odor, tie-dyes, illegal stuff, Grateful Dead.

Great, then find me pictures of that. Except the making love and illegal substances bit, that probably wouldn't do so hot in forums. ~_^

I did... I found you a picture of a woman who embodies everything about the hippie movement.

*shrugs* Not what I was looking for

Then would you mind elaborating on what you're looking for?

Try reading his very first post...

Edyit, I'm not one incapable of reading. I am aware of his first post. But that's not what I'd call "elaborating" on what he's looking for, exactly.

He wants a background, good backgrounds usually don't involve pictures of people unless they are abstract art impressions.
For a 70's theme it would be much more appropriate to have a psychadelic tie-dye backdrop perhaps with some popular hippy phrases.

I understand. You want me to elaborate.

I'll give you a description, exactly what I want, down to the very finest detail, and then I'll let you go find me a similiar picture and send you the 100k. Heck, let's cut out the middle-man, I'll find the picture myself and just send you the cash and call you a winner.


It is a contest because I don't *know* what I'm looking for. "I will be using this to draw inspiration for our Spring show theme so that I can create an appropriate background....so make it good! =) " --- looking for inspiration.

Zog's got the right idea. People could even be OK, but in such a manner where they could be used *as* a background - like people dancing in the background - not just sitting there.

Are you saying that out of all the pictures I posted, nothing remotely inspires you?

No, I was basically saying I can't just hand you a 'give me this' scheme - but rather that you are finding the inspiration FOR me, hence the point of the contest.

I'll look at the pictures when they load, my dialup takes a bit.

         

   

Hope that will help. The first one I like but u can take the berkeley away.

 

Juzza, I can't see your last group of pictures.


I'm leaning towards ending this contest sometime soon, as I'm beginning to get some ideas....but the contest is still open for a little while longer, and if I see some fantastic entries, it'll make deciding on the winners so much easier!

what about these?

Especially the second to the right.
