ru a son id

1. What I’d use the cards and print for:

Every week I appear on television as a visual facilitator. My role on Kaleidoscope (on CNBC AFRICA) is to make visual interpretations of the stuff our interviewees say.

Every guest on the show gets a one-third-off voucher from me, in the form of a business card.

I’m currently printing them ‘as needed’ at the local photo-printing company. Now that the design has been finalised, I’m ready to print. And your contest comes at exactly the right time.

The 18″ x 24″ print is pretty potent too! One of the things I’m going to be doing is offering my pictures to people as standalone artworks. For me, getting a print from you would be pretty much the start of a possible relationship. If I print in South Africa, shipping costs make it prohibitive for me to send my works to the US. What I’m thinking is that I could possibly outsource my US print orders to you guys. So it would be a case of me getting a handson feel for your print process.

2. bending over backwards to come up with a creative use for the word ‘dinosaur’

Phshew. I was trying to come up with a cool way to integrate the phrase, ‘Dinosaur??? R U a son, id?’ (That’s a palindrome –dinosaur forwards then backwards, if you hadn’t worked it out.) Sadly, the phrase is completely meaningless, unless U R a son (and if you’re male, chances are you ARE someone’s son), and you somehow ascribe sense to the word ‘id’.

So I guess I’d better be more creative than that (creativity is great; but it has to MEAN something).

How about something to be said in a loud, Scottish accent?

What the Scottish Paleontologist’s Assistant said after tripping over a petrified prehistoric bird drumstick…
‘I DINNA SAW that pteradactyl bone!’

Like any ol’ dinosaur, you will find me deeply embedded in layers of upon layers of noise and dirt and muck and mire f the world today – - but when you do find find me – damn, the mases take out those little brushes to carefully discover what’s beneath the surface, interns rush to me to work in the heat of summer for free. And yes, I will end up on the covers of magazines and in traveling exhibitions… with a pocket full of my cards, a quick wink, that knowing nod and point, and the “yeah I think I can help you, just email or text me or catch on my cell or my blog or one of my many social medium… but, hey, hold on to that card, I don’t just give them out to anyone… they’re for the T-Rex warriors…” I’ve been here before, but I’m back for more and feeling better than ever, Dino has a brand new bag and a freshly cut box of cards – - the world is waiting for me.

Have you ever wondered why there are old dinosaur bones in museums?

I have, and I decided it’s for the same reason I haven’t had new business cards in a while — because new ones are too expensive!

The dinosaurs disappeared because they could not adapt to their changing environment. We shall disappear if we cannot adapt to an environment that now contains spaceships, computers, thermonuclear weapons, and fantastic canvas prints from uprinting.com. Let your mind adapt, survive, and grow creative!Felipes last blog post..padrelife: @m4rtis como esta reynosa? Se ve bien peligroso en la tele.

I wish I had enough money to grow dinosaurs in a tube. That way I could bring some back and tape really cool dinosaur fights, like the ones in old black and white movies. But I don’t even have enough money for business cards….*Sigh*

If I had some business cards with dinosaurs printed on them I could film them fighting in stop action like in the old movies though… I wonder where I could get some kick ass business cards with dinosaurs on them?

I will use the business cards so that my company won’t go extinct, like the dinosaurs!

If I won the Business Cards or Canvas Print I could recreate a scene from King Kong with Dinosaurs and put it on my cards/print.
