If all else fails, go Pro Hart on the canvas.

Or just send in a photo of your pallette.

Get all this emotion down in paint/pencil real quick.

Just don't cut anything off!

PS

Perhaps think emotional teen awkward romance/horror.

"Don't know what to do, don't care, hate, anger..."

Drag your nails down the page. Screw it up. Burn it. So on. 

Then send it in.

 

What does it mean to go "Pro Hart" on a canvas? Also, you can't send in a photo for the Illustrators contest. A photograph would be disqualified.

I understand the gist of what you're trying to say; take all that anger and frustration and pain and pour it into your work. But it's a bad idea to send in a screwed up, burned, anger-fueled submission to the contest. Illustrations for the contest also have qualifying themes and styles the judges are looking for. Always send in your best work.

Look him up.

I believe blue poles was his? (No. Jackson Pollock)

Worth a fortune.

Basically throwing paint at a canvas.

Syringes and blood too, if I remember correctly?

It think it was Van Gogh who cut his ear off to paint, for reference to that.

Thanks for the tip.

Then just send the pallette.

Not if that's the work.

A horror novel may look good with a clawed blood stained cover.

Or a fantasy with a crumpled old parchmenty affair.

Perhaps it will be.

Worked for Jackson Pollock.
