Exciting New peradventures of James Paul McCartney...

podge you hit the nail on the head...american idol type voting. I've been on a few lists where people are "pimping" their candidate around & that person isn't even on that list. That is not fair. I don't promote myself well nor am I on facebook to do it so what can we do? I bet some of the top entries don't even know Paul but just entered the contest because that's what they do. Think they will raffle off their meet & greet? :

I'm rather upset with this "you can vote 3 times on Twitter, Facebook, and through texting" contest--I'm old school and don't know anyone on Twitter, nor do my friends text or even have cell phones. roll I'm about 14 votes out of the Top 50, and can't figure out any way to break into it outside of bribing strangers on the street to text me in. I'm glad that the contest states that top vote getters aren't necessarily going to win, but it really is frustrating.

You haven't figured this thing out yet? If you really want to be in the top votes, you need to vote for every person in the other contests on Talenthouse, then message them that you voted for them please vote for you. You will be on the computer round the clock doing it, but you will get to the top of the votes. I don't have the time or the inclination to do that. I'm at the point of not caring about the votes now. I sent an email to my immediate friends and relatives yesterday, but that's it for me. I text voted for my friends and forum members I know. I don't think I will get much closer to the top 50 than I am now. Thanks all who voted for me. Podgie (voted least likely to succeed) Monkey

Facebook scares me. I think it is the "like" button. Podgie (social media) Monkey

Podge, I like you, so change that 0 to a 1. P.S. If the top vote getters win this contest, then Paul is missing out on all of the good art that was submitted. lol

I'm even more old school than you Podgie. I don't txt even. I didn't think this would have or should be so much work. I've got a job that pays actual money that I'd rather be doing...kinda. Was that other youtube contest fro Paul the same? Probably so. shame...
-
My friend entered the youtube contest, and yes, it was eerily similar to this one. I guess some of the youtube entries were actually up on youtube before the contest, so they scored high because they had already amassed a ton of views. roll

Someone was looking at my still life work, which I entitled "One Pair" and made and interesting observation. They said that if you get a close distance to it, and stare into in, in a kind of "Magic Eye" Stereographic image kinda way...the painting becomes "One Pear". Hmmm....I thought that was interesting.

This art contest thing doesn't seem to working for me, even my Carwash Scam isn't working. I think I must be somewhere around the top 500, and with just over 1000 entries that puts me about "In The Middle of Something...that I don't really understand". I take that as a good sign (That's a good, that's a good sign). : )))) Hey, not sure if I mentioned this. I did another piece also, which I didn't enter. Took quite a bit of time, just like the first piece. Done in similar style, originally Black and White photo, turned into a color digital painting on canvas (20x30 inch). If you go to my profile on Talenthouse, and click on the picture behind the front picture, it is there. Make sure with both entries you check them out full screen, by clicking on the X in the top right hand corner of the picture window. http://www.talenthouse.com/podgiethemonkey Just thought I would point it out.

Just move your mouse to the right of the pic and you click on the bit of picture sticking out the side.

Paul n Linda hugging?......ahhhhhhh ops:

In case you haven't been inundated enough with talk about the art contest, there are roughly 3 hours of voting time left, and I'm going to selfishly ask for you to check my submission out, and if you think it fits the theme of the contest and is decent, please feel free to vote for it. ) You can actually vote 3 times, once through Facebook, once through a text message, and once through Twitter. I could use ALL the votes I can get right now, as I'm holding on to a place in the bottom of the top 50, and my grip is slipping. cry

Good Luck! I am close to slipping out of the top 500. I'm just not into this voting stuff. I didn't even use my computer last night...just enjoyed the football game (record night for Brady!). I can't imagine the votes having much influence on Paul, except that he will probably view from the top votes down. After a half hour or so of scrolling he should find my entry. Always seem to be in the middle of everything. Middle of the road. It's about my speed...not quite fast, not quite slow... Podgie (I'd say I'm half-fast) Monkey

lol--I'm stuck at 499 votes. I'd love to be able to say I hit 500, but with only under 2 hours left, I'm not sure it will happen. Sigh. I only started getting into the votes when I realized I was in the top 50, but I'm seeing a steady decline in my position, so I'll be out of it by the time voting stops. Poor Paul's eyes will be crossing by the time he finally hits my entry if he's scrolling through them to select the winners. Maybe mine will look better when his eyes are crossed, lol. lol lol

O come on now, Podgie, you've shown a lot of imagination and skill on this thread, you've got a lot of artistic creativity and ability I haven't seen a tremendous amount of creativity in most of the submissions I've seen in Paul's art contest, but then I haven't seen that many. And I was unfairly comparing them to art works in my two "illustrated Beatle songs" art books done by professional artists, who really display a mind blowing level of creativity, artistry and imagination
-
Yes, the directions weren't clear to a lot of people. And a few will be disqualified. Mine was not artwork...it was a screen cap from a video of Paul singing Maybe I'm Amazed. And THAT scene AMAZED me! But I am in the same boat as you Podgie. We all can cry in our beer tonight! haha...
-
I like yours, oobu I hadn't seen that previously

Thanks Suzy. You can vote for more than one person but at this point it doesn't really matter.
