Doodlers Anonymous - The permanent home for spontaneous doodle art.

Showcase #7

Doodle Our Wall

Blik, the world's first removable wall graphic company, is teaming up with Doodlers Anonymous for this next big showcase and we are jumping up and down because of it. But take note: This challenge is a sticky one!

Have you ever wanted to go crazy on your wall with a fat marker? Well, here's your chance. Our wall is your canvas. Just download the hi res image of our studio (provided below) and place your artwork on it. The winning drawing will be turned into a wall decal to be sold as a 100-piece limited edition. All thanks to Blik!

Doodle it up... The wall's the limit.

Submission Guidelines

There's no specific theme. We're just looking for some delicious doodles. Something you'll be proud of and we'll be proud to show off in our studio.
As always, we encourage the hand-made, but due to the nature of this showcase, we anticipate the possible use of graphic software.
Feel free to use color, just keep in mind winning submission will need to be submitted as a vector file.
To be accepted, all submissions MUST be mocked up on the photo of our studio wall and uploaded as a JPG image.
All participants MUST save the hi-resolution version of their artwork. The winner will be provided with Blik's final specifications for the preparation and production of the print.
Upload your best, because you only get one submission.

DEADLINE: THURSDAY, MARCH 10TH (5 PM EST)

Prize

The submission with the most love will be turned into a self-adhesive vinyl decal by the fine folks at Blik, to be sold as a 100-piece limited edition run.

Spread the word

And the winners are...

An original oil painting wall blick commemorating the memory of 9-11-2001....10 years ago....Never Forget

Jennifer Spencer Posted Mar 1, 2011

Should we draw right on to the pic of "Da-Wall"?

okat Posted Mar 1, 2011

@Jennifer: In the case you win, we need you to have a clean version of the art. Although I love the idea of you drawing right on the photo, I don't necessarily recommend it, unless of course it's easy for you to reproduce later.

Jennifer Spencer Posted Mar 1, 2011

Thanks!! I'm so excited about this!!!

Boris Melgarejo Posted Mar 2, 2011

whoa!!! excited XD

Sophia Murray Posted Mar 2, 2011

Do you get your friends to vote or is it other members only?

bonnie jean woolger Posted Mar 2, 2011

where do you view the submissions and vote?

Boris Melgarejo Posted Mar 2, 2011

@sophia, DAs members only :)

@bonnie, after the deadline, all the submitted entries will be viewed and can be voted :)

Laurianne Posted Mar 2, 2011

Wow! my hands are already itching to start!

Amy Windridge Posted Mar 2, 2011

Exciting!

jess smart smiley Posted Mar 2, 2011

Rad idea---I just shared it on my blog and FB. Can't wait to see what people come up with!

Steve Evans Posted Mar 2, 2011

....... nice.... you guys rock, thanks DA... never loose the inspiration with you guys....

Sretan Bor Posted Mar 3, 2011

is it just black and white or are colours also in the game?

Paul Crayon Posted Mar 3, 2011

okat Posted Mar 3, 2011

@Mario: Feel free to use color.

Trevor Basset Posted Mar 3, 2011

Very cool, working on things currently!

Shelena Michele McEdward Posted Mar 3, 2011

Um...mocked up? What?

Shelena Michele McEdward Posted Mar 3, 2011

So scan doodle, cut/paste onto da wall?

Emma Kidd Posted Mar 3, 2011

very, very exciting; I have something brewing.

Ay Natanagara Posted Mar 3, 2011

oooh!

Emma Franchi Posted Mar 3, 2011

How do we place the drawing on the photo?

caroline panico Posted Mar 4, 2011

are the decals replaceable ie, can you take them off and re place them over and over, or are they just stick on once type?

okat Posted Mar 4, 2011

@Caroline: All Blik products are designed to be removable so you can change your mind anytime and it won’t leave any goo on your wall when removed. But once removed, they cannot be re-used.

Shelena Michele McEdward Posted Mar 4, 2011

Need more info on how you're supposed to "mock up" your drawing on this wall... Please respond with steps? The wall image is quite large...I'm not seeing how my doodles fill that space.

stonefly Posted Mar 5, 2011

looking forward to posting an entry ... does the winner get to take home a decal for themselves?

Steve Evans Posted Mar 6, 2011

i would assume correctly that we could use photoshop to place or images that we have either scanned or taken a hi-res photo of.
and then upload our artwork.

of coz photshop will not be used to draw or tweak our scanned images etc... otherwise that would defeat the point of this competition

kate lumsden Posted Mar 6, 2011

hope you like mine..

Chris Lambert Posted Mar 7, 2011

doodle doodle doodle..... love it.

okat Posted Mar 7, 2011

@Steven: You are correct. You may use Photoshop for the mock-up of the drawing on the wall, but not as the main tool to make your art.

timos livaditis Posted Mar 7, 2011

the size should be less than 2 kb?

timos livaditis Posted Mar 7, 2011

i am sorry.. 2mb?

Steve Evans Posted Mar 8, 2011

just uploaded my submission cant wait for the voting....

Timothy J. Reynolds Posted Mar 8, 2011

just uploaded my submission. can't wait to see the others!

Boris Melgarejo Posted Mar 8, 2011

Emma Kidd Posted Mar 9, 2011

Uploaded, and good luck to everyone that did.

Laura Alvarez Posted Mar 9, 2011

Nathan Gowsell Posted Mar 10, 2011

Looking forward to seeing all the work!

lapin Posted Mar 10, 2011

I can't wait to look at all the submissions!

mesilane Posted Mar 10, 2011

this was so much fun!

doyleyboy Posted Mar 10, 2011

Very cool showcase guys! Uploaded my submission...but the thumbnail seems to crop the majority of my image? Will my submission look like this when the voting starts? Otherwise one can't really see the actual design ha ha. But thanks guys, wish there were more cool competitions like this :)

Hugo Posted Mar 10, 2011

@doyleboy No worries we actually keep 3 versions of the art you uploaded. The crop you saw (just a thumbnail); The one we show in the showcase; and a higher-res (what you originally uploaded) version.

dogo Posted Mar 10, 2011

jonathan livingston CEOgull, timeless ideas about human potential

doyleyboy Posted Mar 10, 2011

Ok thanks Hugo! I thought as much but I just wanted to double check.

Rachel Munn Posted Mar 10, 2011

Hello, I have been trying to submit but when i click the button I just get a blank screen. Is there any way to confirm that you received it?

Thanks!

Nicole Blum Posted Mar 10, 2011

Wow... is all I have to say.

Boris Melgarejo Posted Mar 10, 2011

the power to vote for more than 1 is awesomeness!!!!

good job everybody! everybody's work is amazing! :)

Boris Melgarejo Posted Mar 10, 2011

ohhhh some entries are made directly from photoshop and illustrator.... :(

Juan Carlos Palacios Posted Mar 10, 2011

NICE WORK ALL !

Ay Natanagara Posted Mar 10, 2011

aww man I missed the deadline cuz I didn't have internet connection. But DAN STEVENSON FTW!

Ay Natanagara Posted Mar 10, 2011

aww man I missed the deadline cuz I didn't have internet connection. But DAN STEVENSON FTW!

Emma Kidd Posted Mar 10, 2011

I like that I can vote for more than one as well. Yes, I noticed there are some straight illustrator pieces. In the end the piece has to be vector, so I guess they figured they would do it directly straight away (it was a bit of a pain to vectorise mine... oh well, not quite the same).

Steve Evans Posted Mar 11, 2011

im just happy i got a few votes, glad some people enjoy my work...
great job everybody.... its going to be very interesting to see who wins..

IZTHAK Posted Mar 11, 2011

great work everyone(-:

Mithun Posted Mar 11, 2011

Soon

Anya Pany Posted Mar 11, 2011

This is mind-blowing! Cool entries, peeps. I had to color mine in Photoshop, but drawing is made by hand. Now that I look at it on the screen it does look like it was generated electronically... hmmm... Didn't try to cheat :)

Julie Gadzinski Posted Mar 11, 2011

These all look fantastic - I looove the variety!! And a doodle is a doodle, no matter the medium :)

Julie Gadzinski Posted Mar 11, 2011

@OKAT this is all pretty awesome, and I'm stoked about the competition! Before it gets down to the wire, does the winner get anything in return (like at least a free decal) and get to keep their rights? I can't find anything that comments on that.

Thanks!

Laura Alvarez Posted Mar 11, 2011

Nice entries.
Mine was made on paper and then colored in Photoshop too....

doyleyboy Posted Mar 11, 2011

When does voting close guys?

Boris Melgarejo Posted Mar 11, 2011

@doyleboy, after 6 days

arya mularama Posted Mar 11, 2011

oh god... cant decide which one to vote.. so many cool stuffs here :D :D

Nathan Gowsell Posted Mar 11, 2011

Cha Ching!!! Voting was fun... It was like a voting buffet

Beavory Posted Mar 12, 2011

I am honored to part of such inspiring collection of art!
thank for all the people who voted- Beavory(-:

Maria Posted Mar 12, 2011

So many I like!

doyleyboy Posted Mar 12, 2011

quite a bit of vector stuff...

Montana Manilla Posted Mar 13, 2011

Samantha Kostiuk Posted Mar 14, 2011

LOVE the monkey in the ice cream cone!!!!!!!!! ;)

Ted Posted Mar 14, 2011

It seems that I have overestimated the drawing power of a see-it-from-across-the-house-sized middle aged naked guy... but really who of us haven't made that mistake before.

dogo Posted Mar 14, 2011

this is really funny , im happy to be here , with some other GOOOOOOOOOOOD doodle addicts !!! esto es realmente chistoso y estoy feliz de estar aquí a lado de buenos "adictos a los monos" saludos desde méxico. :)))))

Guerin Wolf Posted Mar 16, 2011

some awesome stuff!

Ed Milsom Posted Mar 16, 2011

Nice to be up there and getting a few votes but is there a better way to display the entries? most people will only scroll thru a few. (i know they change position but a lot will be missed). How about thumbnails?

Also, i still think these votes often do just become popularity contests based on numbers of facebook friends- are DA and Blik not going to have a say in the final design choice?
(just some constructive criticism of a generally good thing)

okat Posted Mar 16, 2011

@Ed Milsom: We never expected to receive as many submissions as we did and so the current showcase follows the same presentation template as the previous challenges. We have some ideas to resolve that for future showcases.

In regards to votes... we have discovered quite a few fake accounts and will be removing those votes from the total, so please continue to mark the ones you love.

Boris Melgarejo Posted Mar 16, 2011

Thumbs up to Ed Milsom.

I hope Okat, Hugo, and Jamie and the sponsor of the showcase could also do some judging. Something like 20%votes, 40%judges and 40%sponsor. just a suggestion :)

andre gribble Posted Mar 16, 2011

I like the concept of letting the community vote, but I'm a bit disappointed because some of the best designs are low on votes (constellation dude and awesome guitar dude with arrow on knee, for instance).

Tim Shumate Posted Mar 16, 2011

I love Jorge Vargas & Dan Stevenson's
entries more and more every time I look at them. Brilliant.

doyleyboy Posted Mar 16, 2011

Totally agree with Andre Gribble.
