Hellboy Forum Holiday Art Exchange 2007
Hello everyone! Are you ready for the fifth annual art exchange? Can you believe we have been doing this for five years already? Most of you are familiar with the exchange but some of you may have not participated and may have a few questions. Please read on.
So what exactly is the exchange?
The exchange is an opportunity for forum members to give and/or receive original Hellboy fan art. That's right, original Hellboy fan art. Each person creates a piece of Hellboy-themed art and will send it to a randomly chosen person who is participating in the exchange. This is an opportunity to be super creative. Please Note: if you are creating your art via electronic means please be prepared to print off a nice original for the person to whom you are sending your art.
If you are suddenly sad because you swear up and down that you just cannot possibly create anything you would want to send to someone or you are just not physically able, that is where the awesomeness of this little community really shines. Several people may create multiple pieces of art to send to those individuals who aren't able to send pieces of their own but would still like to participate in the exchange by receiving a piece of fan art. So don't hesitate to participate. 'Tis a time of giving and friendship!
It is important to remember that you will be sending your art directly to the randomly selected individual whose name you receive. This will require you to pay the postage. Remember that the Hellboy Forum is an international community and therefore may require you to send a package to another country.
Who is eligible to participate?
Registered members of Comic Book Resources Forums as of September 2007 and participants in the Hellboy Forum.
What are the guidelines and how do I sign up?
Each person wanting to participate in the exchange will FIRST need to create a Hellboy/Mignola related piece of art (unless you are not creating a piece of art and wanting to receive only). After your art piece is finished (no "in progress" pieces please), please e-mail the following information to me at "petriacce at hotmail dot com":
a scan/picture of your art piece (please keep it to a width of 450 pixels or less and around 300 to 500 KB.) if you are creating multiple pieces to send to those who are only receiving, please send me a scan/picture for each piece.
your real first and last names / forum name
whether you are giving a piece/pieces of art or want to receive only
e-mail address
mailing address (please include any special mailing instructions if you were to receive a package from outside of your country (i.e. mark as gift, special address format, etc.))
I will send you an e-mail response acknowledging the receipt of your information and I will add your name to the participant list below.
What is the timeline?
Starting a bit early this year due to the expected baby arriving in the middle of the schedule.
06 Sep 2007 - Start working on your piece(s) of art now.
19 Oct 2007 - Final date for submitting a scan/picture of artwork (Midnight PT)
04 Nov 2007 - Final date for me sending you the name and mailing information of the person to whom you are sending your art.
16 Nov 2007 - Final date for mailing your art piece to its intended recipient.
16 Nov 2007 - From this date forward please post on this Art Exchange Thread when you receive your art.
The personal information you supply will not be posted on the forum or shared with anyone other than myself and the person who is randomly selected to send you art. If you are under 18 years of age, please ask your parents if it is okay to participate before signing up. Please don't ask me for other participant's personal information even if your intentions are good. Thanks.
Please note that the Hellboy Forum is an international community and some of you will be sending your art package to another country. Please take that into consideration when estimating the financial impact of participating in the exchange.
Please post any questions you may have on this thread. Note that I will probably have to make changes to the information in this post as we go along for clarification reasons. The bottom of the post will indicate the date of the latest edit. Please review the post occasionally to be aware of any changes.
