Former classmate/awesome artist Nancy Chiu has a designer bag up for vote at http://www.seatbeltbags.com/introvotetote1.html - if she wins the design goes on sale, there's a prize, royalties, and all that jazz. I'm trying to help get the word out since, in my not so unbiased opinion, her design trounces the competition.
If you agree, beg to differ, or want to argue the merits of designer bags, let me know!
Why don't they give us a bigger preview of the bags? Fucking amateurs over at Harveys. Anyway, many of the bag designs are really good. I voted for your friend Nancy, but I think I would have normally voted for Katie Shutte. She's currently in the lead, as of my vote. There are a few good looking ones up there, though.
I voted for your friend also, but I have to be honest I really didn't like any of the designs. All of them felt too, hmmm I don't know the word I'm looking for. A bit forced, a bit this is what I think is hip now, I don't know they all felt lacking to me in some way.
Well, I'm perfectly biased to nancy because she really is an amazing illustrator and her bag design is very much in line with her overall art style. So in that sense I can't see it as forced, but can totally see how someone not familiar with her or her work could.
And thanks for the vote, guys! ;)
I think you can pick out the genuine article in this from the pretenders. Usually the individual artwork making up the "collage" style these days will be good. The shitty ones always have shitty individual pieces of art making up the overall shitty collage design. Still, I don't think being trendy is necessarily bad at all. Good, or fun artwork is still good even if it's shiny.Quote:

I also like her picture of owls in the glass bottles.
Voted for Nancy as well. I was looking through them and not looking at the names, but I stopped on hers and it was the only one that really intrigued me and struck me as something I would see someone carrying. I hope she wins.
thanks again folks =)
I was bad. I voted for her using three different IPs (phone and PCs) so far. But that's how we do it in Chicago. I'll buy a bag and donate it to charity if it's produced.
Hey, I got about 20 more votes just posting this in my blog. I hope your friend is trying to get more votes, because that other girl Katie is still about 200 votes ahead. =/
I saw an im from Nick when I got home so I voted for Nancy as well.
Seems this Katie Schutte is still ahead by about 200.
Voted too, still down just over 200 votes.
I've delivered eight votes thus far, but Nan is still 209 behind. Any TNLer that votes will receive a picture of me with his or her user name written in Sharpie on my chest. Black or red Sharpie!
I voted for Nancy, despite Nick's offer. :p
i voted as well Hero.
Delivered another vote, but she is still 209 behind. Such is life.
I posted about her on here, DA, and FB. I really hope people who like her stuff tell other people to spread the word!
I delivered another one earlier this morning, but the gap had widened to 1598 versus 1311. But don't the top three get bags produced?
The site mentions 'finalists' but I don't see where they say how many finalists there will be. But yeah, each one gets their bag produced.
It did say three in the rules, as I recall.
Well Well! Heard from her that after tabulating the online plus in-store votes, she won! She's one of the three designs to be produced!
So thanks guys for voting (and often >.>) and getting the word out!
Congratulations to her. Glad my hustling could be a part of it.
