I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (because it’s true). Over the past five years, the level of artistry and creativity this humble art contest of ours inspires never ceases to amaze me. Every year we try to toss a new wrinkle into this cereal monster mix and each time you, the denizens of our twisted little treehouse, step up to the challenge and manage to make selecting a winner a nigh-impossible task…but this is a contest and every contest has to have a winner. So, I’ll stop stalling and share with you this year’s contest results:
Grand Prize Winner: Anthony Kowaleski
Quis-Pee Pimples
Artist: Anthony Kowaleski
Cereal Flavor: Corn and Sugar
Once he was living as an alien invader who became bored with life on his home world of Quislackykaka. Quis-Pee Plimples came to Earth and became obsessed with our sugary breakfast cereals, Atari 2600 games, and the films of John Candy. Even at the risk of his own health and many skin conditions found only on Earth, Quis-Pee refuses to give up the things he loves and continues to crash on couches.
