Graphic Arts Olympics

Have you ever asked yourself "Why not a graphic Artist Olympics"?  I have.  We've probably all raced against time on those dreaded deadlines so it wouldn't  be much different than running, swimming or vaulting into the air as hard and as fast as you can.  We practice all the time while earning  a paycheck.  I might not make it as an all around artist but who knows?  I definitely want to go for the gold in the greeting card and kids book category.  It would be fun to win over over the expected winner.  I can see it now - "Look how fast that pencil is moving, have you ever seen a paint brush fly.  And the winner is
Judy Z, she's scored an almost  perfect 10, 15, (whatever) with her almost perfect christmas card.  And she wins her 2nd Gold with her illustration of Banana Luke."  The crowd goes wild and I shed a tear while our flag is raised.  Will I come back in four years?  You bet, age hasn't stopped me yet!
