| Here's a short FAQ about our competition, for those who didn't get to check the comments to the previous post:  Q1: Hey James, what happens if the winning entry uses a character I designed? Do I get a cut of the winnings? A: I've thought about this conundrum, and this is best I can come up with: Since all the characters are based on my designs anyway, it's hard for any one person to claim intellectual ownership of the character's likeness; however, I fully understand that the author of the appropriated work may feel an entitlement to part of the winnings. The best I can offer is that if you're not ok with someone using your character, please post your cat girl / lion lady in response to this comment and it'll be added to a roster of off-limits characters. Otherwise, your consent will be assumed. I know this might not please everybody, but it's the simplest and most effective solution! If the winner wants to share out some bucks with the people whose characters he uses, that is totally ok too but in no way obligatory Q2: Do we have to use characters people made, or can we just make more of our own interpretations of the original cats & lions? A: You are free to make more of your own interperatations if you wish! Q3: Are we limited to one entry? A: You can enter as many times as you like! It's concieveable you could try for both the grand and the booby prize, if you wanted. Q4: What if i'm not a LiveJournal user? A: My livejournal allows anonymous comments from non-livejournal users, so anyone can enter, so long as you leave me your name and email address/url with your entry. You can also email me, if you prefer! Q5: Should we worry about making the comic short enough to fit on a flyer, or whatnot? A: I am totally ok with you making it as long as you like! If we choose to use it on a flyer but it's 700 pages long, we'll just put a URL linking to the rest of the story. If you have any more questions, ask away! £100 CASH PRIZE

COMPETITION!
The hour is upon us! To celebrate the release of their “At Least We Can Dance” Remix EP out on August 31st on Doshiwa records, live soul / funk / house heads DEKATA PROJECT have taken over my livejournal to help run a neato mosquito ART COMPETITION
Dekata Project, who have recently enjoyed airplay on BBC Radio 1 courtesy of Fabio and Grooverider and Rob Da Bank, have also been featured as a single of the week in The Metro, and have been singled out for a "bubbling under" feature in September’s issue of iDJ magazine.
In addition to a cash prize, your winning entry will be used as promotional material to advertise their Remix EP! That is crazy! Be sure to write your name on it in big letters!
RULES!
Over the past few months, readers of my livejournal have created a huge amount of amazing artwork and characters- there were all the characters in the Choose a Cat, Draw A Girl project, henceforth to as CAT GIRLS, and then the people from Black Lion Week , who I will now be calling LION LADIES. If you've never seen them, I urge you do check them out!
Cat Girls and Lion Ladies- two seperate factions, as different as night and day! Or are they? Maybe they're pals! Maybe they have never met! In fact, we don't know anything about these people. They exist in a timeless void, characters in search of a novel. And that's where you come in.
1:) Take ANY TWO OR MORE characters from the huge roster of Cat Girls and Lion Ladies.
2:) Make a comic strip based on them! It can be 4 panels long or an Akira-length epic. You can also submit prose or an illustrated story, if you want.
3:) Then, post it in the comments of this livejournal! That's it! You have a month!
 GRAND
WINNER gets £100 CASH PRIZE That's
a hundred and sixty-four American dollars!
Also!
There is a mystery BOOBY PRIZE for dumbest, most horrible entry
to be judged and awarded by  Daphaknee! Everyone has a
chance to win!
Competition
Closes September 27th, 2009
Good luck! Tell your friends! See the comments for FAQ (kind of important).

HEY!
I dunno how long you've been following this blog for, so here's a brief recap of the story so far: I'm James, from England. In December last year I quit my job teaching English in South Korea to become a full-time illustrator. Professionally, I am known as HARVEYJAMES™! Since I started pursuing full-time illustration in earnest I've been crazy busy, making more work in the past 6 months than I have have done in the past year and a half. F'rinstance, I did a comic with my pal Daphny for Vice Magazine, and then another thing for the commissioning editor of Adult Swim. I designed a t-shirt for the Wii release of my favorite video game, Cave Story, as well as logos for rap groups and record labels! And a bunch of stuff I can't talk about! Also, today was my first day in my first proper studio, to work on a full-length comic book! What!
In addition to that stuff there was something on my blog this year that took off like crazy, which I did not expect at all:
GROUP ACTIVITIES
You remember the Choose a Cat, Draw A Girl activity, where over 250 of you submitted drawings of ladies based on my own drawings of cats, and we put it all together into an incredible group art project, right! And the week before that was Activity Week, where I drew an unifinished picture of something or other and challenged you to fill in the blanks. Then there was Black Lion Week which was like Choose a Cat, Draw A Girl only this time I designed the characters to be unpopular and unlikeable! It did not work! You made amazing work all the same! And let's not forget this activity, possibly the granddaddy of them all; tell me the name of this cat and if it is going to heaven or to hell and why. All had incredible responses which make me glad so many cool people read this Livejournal! Maybe it was time my blog gave something back to its readership, am I right!
Ok, well here is the skinny, ya'll:
This week, we're going to be doing a new group project. Possibly, it'll be the last one for some time.
And, thanks to our friends at Doshiwa Records, there will be a £100 cash prize.
THAT'S RIGHT
$164 CASH PRIZE
no foolin'
The details of the competition will be revealed on wednesday, whereupon it will run for a month! There'll also be a booby prize for the dumbest most horrible entry, so everyone has a chance to win! Check back for details! Tell your friends!
