In the meantime, lest I completely ignore this blog, I am up to other things. For the last several months I have been working off and on writing a book entitled "Insider's Secrets to Funding Your LEGO® Hobby" (unofficially "How to sell LEGO®, make money, and always be happy!"). There is vague parody to The LEGO Movie throughout the book. I have been working on a cover design a little bit but thought I'd offer the core photo as a contest to the AFOL world.
Question: As the prize would be Bricklink or BrickOwl store credit and a free copy of the book ($10 value), how much store credit would be worth your time? Your name would also appear in the book as the cover artist.
I'm looking for something inspired by the photo below. A nice brick built background of something that looked like a store inventory would be awesome. Since this is for a book cover, photography skills will matter. Digital solutions would be acceptable so long as they were rendered well. Using others' IP is not okay unless it would clearly fall under the exception of parody. In that regard, please try to avoid any complete minifigs as they appear in the catalog.
The contest has not started yet, I'm just trying to see what the interest level is. I'll post an official thread for entries when I'm ready to commence.
I'd be down for a contest!
