P&T Arts 'n' Crafts: The Rooster Drawing Contest- Win a free shirt!

Good afternoon, posters and toasters. This had been mentioned previously, and now I'd like to kick it off in earnest. Posting and Toasting, as you may know, has a store with clothing celebrating some P&T legends: Toney Douglas, Walt Frazier, and Jonathan Bender. Oddly enough, one beloved Knick figure who hasn't received a sartorial tribute is Danilo Gallinari. This being the case, I would like to commission a contest of sorts. Here's how it's going to work:
The Project:
Send in a t-shirt design featuring a drawing of a rooster and the words "Il Gallo" (as that is Gallinari's nickname, which translates to "The Cock" and, well, a cock-drawing contest wouldn't sound very good). The rooster and writing can be in any style you like, though I'm picturing something either sort of cartoony or, alternatively, a very lifelike, anatomically-correct picture. If you'd like to give the rooster some attributes suggestive of Danilo (make it shooting a basketball, give it a fauxhawk, throw in a number 8, draw it in this pose), you are welcome to do so.
For legal reasons, we try to stay away from depicting the names or likenesses of famous individuals. We also avoid photos, logos, company names, and other licensed stuff. If you're incorporating something you found on the internet into your design, then it's probably no good. This means:
- No photos of roosters, Danilo Gallinari, or anything.
- No drawings of Danilo Gallinari's face.
- Nothing that denotes the Knicks, the NBA, the Knicks logo, or, just to play it safe, New York.
Designs should be made on some sort of computer program hand-drawn and scanned into a computer, then emailed to me at ptknicksblog(at)gmail.com. If you can, make the designs pretty large. If and when you email me your design, please label it as such in the subject line ("Rooster-Drawing Contest Submission" works) and include your P&T username somewhere in the email.
The voting:
Depending on how many submissions we get, we'll have some sort of voting process set-up. I might have it where Charlie, Gian, and myself each get a vote, with the fourth vote being a user poll and the tie-breaker going to my mom. I'm not sure about that yet, though.
The prize:
Plain and simple. Whoever's design is chosen will get P&T acclaim and bragging rights, as well as a free copy of the shirt they designed (is "copy" the right word there?).
The deadline:
For the moment, I'm setting the deadline for submission as Friday, August 6th. That might be subject to change, depending on how many entrants we get.
So, there it is. Have a go at it, tell your artistically-inclined friends, and let's draw ourselves a rooster. Have fun, and comment or email me with any questions.

Question...
Since I have the drawing skills of a 3 year old child, could I just receive a free shirt because you love me?

the "shrewd clever slick" one?
had to take that down because we’re not allowed to depict famous faces.
Did my comment get deleted? ='(
Well, I’d love to compete but I don’t have a scanner.

i see your comment.
if you want to use a computer design program, that’s also fine. i probably won’t be accepting submissions via snail-mail, though.
I see it now...
But thats actually not a bad idea, a crappy drawing of a rooster would look cool on a shirt. Sweet, I’m back in the running!

Is it legit
To computerize a picture that I took, and then go from there?
If so, I’m fully prepared to go hunt down a cock.

if you do plan on submitting
it’d be awesome if you could let me know in the comments of this post. just curious.
oh, and
i sort of pictured this being a black-and-white line drawing, but i have nothing against a color picture.
I tried and failed.
Just gave a test run, drew up a quick picture and it looks so crappy it’ll never make it. The idea was cool though.

Awesome Seth
I’m definitely trying this, been drawing in my notebook ever since school started last year. Do we send it to your email?
And this one might be a stupid question, but if I drew Il Gallo and The Cock right next to it in graffiti type letters, would that be fine? I guess it’s just a matter of taste, but it’s what I’m best at, so just wondering whether it’s the “style” you’re looking for.

I'm in!
Yo Seth, you may want to consider pairing up different entries, for example, if one entry has really cool lettering, and if another entry has a really cool picture you can combine them, or bring in a color scheme from a completely different entry. What do you think?
They will be for!

That'd be a good idea
I’d be down for lettering, I do graffiti lol

I only suggest this because I can do some dope lettering.
However, even though I’ve never met him, I’m sure my picture drawing skills are worse than Mike the Intern’s.

question for y'all
when the time comes for everybody to vote, would you prefer that pictures be displayed anonymously, or should each be attributed to its creator?
maybe it could be an individual choice.
Anonymously
Its more fair I guess

Voting
I think we should have it based on height of fan, making “states” out of height by inches, giving all of the electoral votes of that height group based on the winner of the popular vote, your total would only count if it was an odd number although even numbers that are perfect squares could be counted too. Once you get this which would be the “base mnumber” you would add the digits together. each entry would then be assigned a random number from 1-10 which the number would be multiplied by. If any of the entries numbers was 8 they would automatically win, otherwise the largest number would win. If no clear winner is decided from that then a 2 man sack race will be held on consecutive sundays until a winner is determined.
Actually lets just do it the way Seth suggested above.

Something is remiss
Implausable to make the thing crow when he makes a 3? batteries included. And therefor refuse to enter on the grounds of stick figure skills.

Hmm perhaps a button with the winning drawing and an #8
so the Garden can click them when he drains a 3?

Legal opinion
I don’t see why an entry can’t reference New York.

I can't draw.....
but if anyone wants to steal my idea feel free:
Super Mario in a #21 orange and blue jersey (no Knicks reference) – shooting a three with the following quote: “I make-a da three!!!!”
May be too stereotypical…but you can blame the Japanese for that, not me.

oops that would be #8
not 21, my bust

I realize that.....
I figured he is such a dynamic personality that he warrants more than one shirt, no? I mean….Gallo is just a shortening of his last name that happens to mean rooster in Italian and Spanish. Why not more options?
The truth is, my buddies and I were at a game this past season and we started using that phrase after he hit a few threes in a row. The whole section was dying. Looking back it was probably asking for an ass-kicking by anyone of Italian decent that happened to be nearby. But these things happen when you roll nine deep to a meaningless game on a weeknight….with beer involved.
