Congratulations to Jessie Watts!

Jessie is the winner of the Wonderland of Illustration competition.  She is an 18 year old Graphic Design student at Bradford School College in Columbus, Ohio.

Web Tips Magazine would like to thank Jessie for taking the time to enter our competition and look forward to seeing more works from her in the future.

A designer in training with the heart and stamina to move forward to the future, we expect to see great things from Jessie.

Jessie told us that she’s always had a passion for drawing – since she was a little girl.  In high school her Art teacher was trying to get Jessie to veer away from the popular Manga that most kids her age was “in to” and steer more towards the actual digital art formats.

Jessie’s drawing was picked as the winner as the many details she portrayed as well as the time she took to hand draw the picture which is very much a lost art these days.

“Thank you Web Tips Magazine for this opportunity.  I had a lot of fun thinking of what to design for this competition and look forward to any other competitions you may have in the future.  Super excited for the movie – hells to the yeah!  :) –Sincerely, Jessie Watts”

UPDATED 3/4/10:  See the contest winner here!

A timeless classic from the original Lewis Carroll 1865 book and the animated movie from Disney in 1951 to the new 2010 Disney live action movie, ‘Alice In Wonderland‘ has been a childhood favorite for many generations.

For a cast of characters that are now some 145 years old, it’s interesting to take a look back in time just to see how the initial lithograph illustrations, up to Disney’s full motion, computer enhanced version have altered the appearance, and display trends in illustration through many different mediums over the ages.

Competition Time!

For our first competition, we want to send 1 lucky winner (with guest) to the movies to watch the new 2010 Disney’s Alice In Wonderland.  The prize will be supplied as a $50 USD Moive Tickets or Fandango gift certificate.

All you need to do is pick your favorite character from the book (or movie) and illustrate in any style you choose and send your entry by email to the madhatter@webtipsmagazine.com by 3/1/10.  Judgeing will be completed by the Web Tips Magazine staff with all decisions being final.  Winner and runner-ups will be featured on our site.

Follow us down the rabbit hole and through the magical land that is a ‘Wonderland Of Illustration’…
