While I am aware that any increase in the tension regarding our Giraffe Drawing Contest could prove fatal, my journalistic integrity leads me to take the risk. Today, I received a letter from Jason Polan, mad inventor of the original giraffe method (OGiM):

Dear Wholphin,

Immediately after seeing Emily Doe’s post on your website on April 10, 2007, I went into a deep panic. Her giraffe drawing is so good. How could anyone compete with that? I am getting nervous just thinking about it. She even got the hump on the back right!! She didn’t learn that in any “how to” video I know of. How could I be surpassed so quickly by someone who watched the film only once!?! What have I done? What can I do? Where can I go from here? Should I quit art?

After seeing that post, I drew nearly 8200 giraffes and slept a total of about 12 hours over the following week, trying to attain whatever she had.

Then I gave up.

Then I drew one more giraffe.

It is my submission for this competition.

Jason

Yow. Who can compete with that? Well, you can find out who the current contenders are here.
