Happy Memorial Day! I’m currently in Elkhart, Indiana doing an inline half-marathon. Hope you’re enjoying your holiday. So here we have ASIMOV beginning his story, and lo and behold we get his origin! A lowly trash collector. I wonder how he got to be the sophisticated machine he is now?

Win a piece of Marooned original artwork!
Hello Martians out there! Welcome to the Marooned Original Art Contest. The prize for the winner is a piece of original artwork from an unpublished strip – truly a unique Marooned artifact! Just think, when I’m a rich and famous artist, you can sell it on the market for millions!
The Prize
The artwork is the original piece from this unpublished strip (click to see full-sized version):
The artwork is pencil and ink on 300 series Bristol board. It will be spray mounted and suitable for display or further framing and will be shipped free of charge to the winner.
How to Enter
Entering is simple, just create a piece of fan art and send it to me and you will be entered into the contest. You can do the art however you like, in whatever medium you like. You can either create it digitally (or scan it) and e-mail it to me at pixelmech@gmail.com, or you can send it to:

Official Rules
Contest begins immediately and ends on midnight, CST June 30th, 2008. I am the sole judge on which piece of fan art wins, so tickle my fancy. Please keep all fan art family friendly. Art that is not family friendly will be automatically disqualified.
Good luck!
I just finished upgrading to Comic Press 2.5, I believe the odd navigation problems are now solved. Let’s hear it for Tyler. Some of my styles are not quite right, but I wanted to get the fix in as soon as possible. I’ll finish tweaking the design over the next week or so, but the main thing is the site should work much better and be organized much better.
Ah, so this is what ASIMOV had in mind. I wonder what he has to say? Although my official update day is Monday, I think I will often post sometime on Sunday to make things easier on myself, since I get up pretty early to work out and get to work. Be sure to check out the contest to find out how you can win a piece of original artwork from the strip.
