I have gotten quite a few messages from people in different parts of the world who were not able to get a copy of Computer Arts magazine #156, which includes my tutorial. Whether it is an over-priced import or simply not available due to geography, it’s unfortunate either way.
So to kick off the new year, I would like to have a contest to give away my own extra copy of the magazine, along with the free calendar included with issue 156 and a couple of Signalnoise bookmarks. I even hand-signed my tutorial :)
All you have to do is comment on this post, and tell me where you are from. Remember to include your email in the comment form so I can contact the winner. Comments will be left open until Friday, January 9th and the winner will be announced the following Monday. You only need to comment once as multiple comments will be deleted.
Good luck!
Update: For those who don’t already know, I am located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Thanks for the question, Marvin!
Update 2: Comments have now been closed, thanks to everyone who entered! The winner will be announced this coming Monday, so stay tuned.

Hey there! Wow! This is an awesome coincidence, because it’s the first time I’ve entered this web site!

Hi James
I’m so happy with this news! I follow your work everyday more than a year, it really seem fabulous to me and you are such an inspiration to me.
I’m from Argentina and my favourite period of your work is Retro Cosmic and I’ve never commented on here before because I don’t manage this language well, and a friend is translating for me. But when I saw this, I just couldn’t stand here without doing a thing and lose the opportunity to get something like this.
Good Luck to everyone and although I win it or not I’ll be fine just with the fact of keeping seeing your creations through this.
Best wishes and happy new year!

i’ve seen your work in a lot of places, and always enjoyed the way you achieve your results.
The way u made the O-series for instance was quite refreshing, simple, yet an awesome result with similar impact.
Love the way you combine your colours and would love to learn more about how you make your works.

i’m from portugal, i tried to find the magazine but i didn’t have any luck…
I know I was one of those people. Although I recently got a copy of it. I would still like to have a signed copy though. That would be sweet. An I would feel bad about maybe taking another copy instead of somebody who didn’t get one. Except that the tutorial is now posted on Computer Arts website.

Hi there,
I’m from all the way down under in the land of OZ, raised in the 80s as a kid I guess it is natural to be drawn into retro art. As soon as I saw this piece I was struck by that sense of “awesomeness”.
It really brought me that sense of nostalgia and encapsulated many aspects of that era, all those funky sounds in an arcade, the crazy visions and sci-fi art of the year 2000. (Where’s my teleport and being transported to work in a vaccume chute?)
That my friends isn’t something that can be easily felt when we are constantly bombarded as modern day citizens. Thanks James, not just for the inspiration, it’s a Rejuvenation.
From sunny old Florida. 18 years old, struggling graphic designer, tour manager, booking agent, promoter. I dabble in a little bit too much, I’d say. Keeps me from what I truly want to do. your work’s a big inspiration though. I wish I had more time to put towards my own projects.
Hey James,
I am from Portland, OR, USA. I hope you get some more of those Solid Gold Bomb prints in. Every time I go to purchase them, they are sold out. I have some bad luck! :)

It’s funny how all the readers comment on contests, even though most people don’t comment on the regular posts! Humans are funny creatures, aren’t we!
By the way, I’m working on a project today for a client that’s loosely based on the layout of your tutorial. I’m actually using a Photoshop brush I created for the angled lines, instead of the higher-quality Illustrator assets. Mainly because I felt lazy!
Keep up the good work, man!

But as a regular reader, I’ll put the plug in for my home town of Dunedin, New Zealand (although I stumbled upon you while living in the next best city in the world Vancouver).
Keep up the great work and happy new year.
