2007 Artist Series Contest (Sept): NBA Dynasty
Can't wait for the new NBA season to start? How about a look back at the Legends of the game? Who were the NBA Dynasties? The Celtics, Lakers, Bulls or the current day Spurs? Will Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce form a new Green Dynasty of their own? Create a shoe that best portray the dynasties of the NBA over the years. DO NOT slap on a swoosh or any other existing brand to the shoe. Be creative and construct your own!
Due Date: 09/23/07

Chung Dha Lam (0)	6:05:00 PM Monday, August 20, 2007 Prolly a Nike Jordan shoe or one of those players. Not really a special theme this time.
Nick Huber (154) Artist Info	7:44:00 PM Monday, August 20, 2007 I like the "DO NOT slap on a swoosh or any other existing brand to the shoe. Be creative and construct your own!"
stephen christian (402) Artist Info	9:45:00 PM Monday, August 20, 2007 iconic...nice...
Ryan Holler (1145) Moderator Artist Info	12:18:00 AM Tuesday, August 21, 2007 I'm probably speaking for all the 30-somethings around here by saying that this theme makes me salivate. I have questions though: Are designers supposed to pick one dynasty and stick with it? ...or is it supposed to be 1 design in 3 different colorways? ...or should/can designers submit three different designs on one 800 x 600 pixel image? Are branded shoe designs disqualified?
Chung Dha Lam (0)	7:20:00 AM Tuesday, August 21, 2007 No excisting team logo's and brand logo's? or only no excisting brands of shoes?
KG Admin Artist Info	5:32:00 PM Tuesday, August 21, 2007 Shoes can be branded, just not by obvious existing logos like Nike/Adidas/Rbk..etc. The term dynasty is a theme, you can spin it any way your creativity takes you.
Chung Dha Lam (0)	6:09:00 PM Friday, August 24, 2007 Anyone want to share some thought wich way to go a bit of sketches.
Tony Hardman (850) Moderator Artist Info	8:28:00 PM Friday, August 24, 2007 no "Obvious logos" seems very subjective. This theme is still somewhat vague IMO. I say just do your interpretation of it and let it fly guys. -TH
johnny szabo (890) Artist Info	6:44:00 AM Saturday, August 25, 2007 Cool, I'm liking this theme...the dynasty thing and no brands, nice....
Michael DiTullo (26)	10:15:00 AM Saturday, August 25, 2007 This theme should lead you guys to some interesting results, looking forward to checking it out!
Barbu Alexandru (201) Artist Info	1:17:00 PM Saturday, August 25, 2007 cool one this time
joe im (82) Artist Info	11:28:00 AM Tuesday, August 28, 2007 This is def. an interesting theme. Here’s some inspiration - Magic with the No Look. Check out the weapons!
joe im (82) Artist Info	7:23:00 PM Tuesday, August 28, 2007 Here's one more. CAP with the sky hook.
Ryan Holler (1145) Moderator Artist Info	9:20:00 PM Tuesday, August 28, 2007 Very nice, Joe. Those are great.
joe im (82) Artist Info	9:26:00 PM Tuesday, August 28, 2007 Thanks Ryan. I was inspired recently by classic NBA caricatures on tshirts I used to wear in the early 90's. Thought I'd give it a try and bring the style back.
stephen christian (402) Artist Info	9:10:00 AM Wednesday, August 29, 2007 nice, joe...i've been looking on some on ebay, specifically an isiah or mj...some current players might be cool, too.
Nick Huber (154) Artist Info	9:19:00 AM Wednesday, August 29, 2007 wow joe those are awesome

Wayne Russell (355) Artist Info	2:33:00 AM Thursday, August 30, 2007 joe: very nice. I don't suppose there are plans to do a Hubert Davis caricature. He used to be my favorite player. u in the shoe biz now?
joe im (82) Artist Info	11:35:00 AM Thursday, August 30, 2007 wayne: Hubert Davis had some good years for the Knicks and a decent stint with my Raptors, but I'm going to have to do a Charles Oakley caricature before I ever attempt do a Hubert Davis. Gotta pay respect to the Oak. I'm actually on the graphic design side of things. Not exactly in the footwear side.
Wayne Russell (355) Artist Info	7:18:00 PM Friday, August 31, 2007 Joe: they're also "my" raptors as well. Don't tell me ur from the "t dot". ok, just wondering what u were up to. I was talkin to someone the other day and ur name came up.
Brian Lee (37)	12:53:00 AM Saturday, September 01, 2007 T-dot as well, although currently out of the country.. "my" raptors too..even though they often made me wince..
johnny szabo (890) Artist Info	7:43:00 AM Saturday, September 01, 2007 Didnt know so many people are from my hometown. Man how much I love that place. Livin in Hungary though, gonna kick it in Canada next summer. Maybe we can have a get together some time?
Wayne Russell (355) Artist Info	12:36:00 PM Saturday, September 01, 2007 Brian: yeah..they tend to do that. Johnny: I'm not from toronto but I used to spend my summers on bathurst street.
joe im (82) Artist Info	3:46:00 PM Saturday, September 01, 2007 Wayne: Yes, I am a "t-dot" native. I think Lei Wang and Zenith Chance are also from the area.
Brian Lee (37)	5:04:00 AM Thursday, September 06, 2007 Roll up the rim to win! >:D ... man.. I miss watching CP24...
joe im (82) Artist Info	10:29:00 PM Sunday, September 09, 2007 Here's my final illustration of the 80's era Lakers. There's CAP, Magic, Big Game James, AC Green (with the jheri curl) and Byron Scott. I wanted to add Michael Cooper but I elected to go with five players.
Nestor Hernandez (72) Artist Info	11:31:00 PM Sunday, September 09, 2007 Joe- That Illustration is SICK! Reminds me of all them old school t-shirts we could buy back in da day...ahhh memories!
