Custom Illustration Giveaway!

Do you like what you see on this blog? Did you enjoy my Halloween theme, or my change in hairstyles?

Now you can have your own custom illustration, designed by yours truly!

One winner will receive a custom illustration in the style of the Geek in Heels. The pose, props, and color scheme may all be chosen by this lucky individual.

The illustration will be delivered in EPS and PNG formats so you can choose to do whatever you want with it! All I ask in return is that you let me post it online here on this site.

You can enter in two ways:

  1. Leave a comment below
  2. Tweet about the giveaway, tagging @geekinheels and inserting a link to this page

The deadline to enter is Friday, November 6th at 12pm Eastern Time so be sure to get your entries in before then! The winner will be chosen at random and announced here later that night.

Good luck to all!


ETA: The avatar in my header is not 100% original, as I have written about several times in the past (see here for an example). It is an illustration from iStockPhoto which I edited a few years back when I first started the Geek in Heels blog, and never changed because it fit so perfectly with the premise of the site. Please be assured that the illustration I will do for the winner of this contest will be an original.

  • anon November 2, 2009 at 6:44 pm

    i’m sure you edited the original illustration to work for you, but i still feel like you should give some credit to the original designer.

  • Geek in Heels November 2, 2009 at 6:48 pm

    anon — I had credited the original designer in an earlier post (http://www.geekinheels.com/blog/2008/8/26/the-evolution-of-the-geek-in-heels-girl.html). I am editing this post right now to give the credit.
