JULY ART COMP - THE BALLAD OF HALO JONES BOOK 4

[CrazyFoxMachine]

From James Newell via an enquiring FB user simply called Halo Jones:

"The Ballad of Halo Jones Book 4" or what might have been...

Where did she go... she went out.

Alan Moore & Ian Gibson's seminal 80s 2000 AD masterpiece Halo Jones was notable for many things, not least of which was that it was never finished. Moore & Gibson both have ruminated in the decades since of where she might have gone - Moore expressing several times he was keen to continue her adventures into much later life. Where would you have her go next?

There will be a GN straight from the nerve centre for the winner, and one for Tharg's Choice - and there will also be a bonafide 2000 AD droid choosing their favourite entries! All entries will be viewable here, on our dedicated FB page and on the official 2000 AD Tumblr!!

Rules for the art comp are these:

- For this comp especially but generally for all future comps be RESPECTFUL of the source material, needlessly explicit entries will not be tolerated.

- You can enter as many times as you like but bear in mind it will split your vote so it may not be worth it.

- All entries have to be constructed specifically for this competition - so nothing you've done for anything else.

- You can enter either here or by directly putting it on our FB wall here: https://www.facebook.com/2000adartcomp/

YOU HAVE UNTIL THE 24TH OF JUNE WHEN WE SHALL TIE TOGETHER THE TAILS OF THE VOTING RATS

[Andy Lambert]

Too late to enter this one then...

[CrazyFoxMachine]

Aw bollocks - MODS, 24th of July plz!! 

[Leigh S]

Head's still in Glastonbury there, CFM!

[Jim_Campbell]

Great start from the Colossal Shark to kick us off. :-)

I've given CFM the month off to recharge his batteries. I'll take care of the voting this month to keep everything on course, so it's business as usual. Have at it, art-monkeys!

[ZenArcade]

Cool. I haven't contributed since my daring and popular piece 'Cursed City, Blessed Earth'   might do something this month (he hurriedly rings Ryan Brown)  Look forward to seeing the wonderful CFM back on the horse soon. Z

[The Adventurer]

This seems like as good excuse as any to reread Halo Jones.

[The Legendary Shark]

Thanks, Jim - and thanks for stepping into the (hopefully temporary) breach.

[Colin YNWA]

Yeah just to echo that (what it was what Shark said) good job stepping in Jim and hope you'll be back soon CFM.

[JayzusB.Christ]

Great start from the Colossal Shark to kick us off. :-)

...And the penny drops.  You're a terrible man, Campbell, and the Lord will punish you.

But yeah, great work from Sharky!  Never knew you done drorings

[Hawkmumbler]

But where did CFM go? Out?

Just out.

[The Legendary Shark]

But yeah, great work from Sharky!  Never knew you done drorings

Thanks, JBC. I used to enter the art comp all the time before The Drama - and now that I've saved my pennies and purchased a new Wacom you can expect my monthly sullyings once more!
