Would you design a phoenix for me to print on a shirt because I want to wear it? The winner gets:

  1. Access to collaborate with me on new designs via Airtable.
  2. Up to 10% voting power daily on new posts from my @steemvoter.
  3. 200 Steem paid upon receiving and accepting the shirt with the printed design!
  4. $500 bonus paid in Steem/SBD any month the profits from this design are greater than $1000 on Amazon.
  5. A post announcing you as the winner of the contest along with pictures of me wearing the shirt featuring your design!

How to Participate?


  1. Learn more about what a phoenix is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_(mythology) along with references in popular culture at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_in_popular_culture. I want a phoenix because this is my inner reality which I think would be beautiful to share on a shirt.
  2. Create an original graphic design of a phoenix. I like the fiery red and orange phoenix similar to this CC0 pixabay image I used as a cover. Unlike the image here, I would prefer the phoenix facing forward on a transparent background because this can then go on many colors of shirts. That said, I trust your design judgement and encourage submissions of multiple designs all in one post.
  3. Make a post on Steem with "Phoenix Design Contest!" in the title and use tag jerrybanfield as the first tag on the post because this will help me see it. In that post, would you please show the design(s) you would like to submit along with your creative process including screenshots of beginning the design, half finished, almost done, etc. because this will help you showcase your talents as an artist for others to discover indefinitely?
  4. When I see your post on the jerrybanfield tag at https://steemit.com/trending/jerrybanfield, I will give you an upvote to show I noticed it.
  5. If I love your design(s), I will give you a 100% upvote and invite you to join Airtable at https://airtable.com/invite/r/qGLfO5Yn in a reply to your post because I get a $10 credit if you join and can invite you directly to collaborate on a spreadsheet where you can submit the final design.
  6. After joining Airtable, upload the final image as an attachment in the image field with the following specifications: 15"W x 18"H @ 300ppi (i.e. 4500 x 5400 pixels), sRGB, and less than 25MB. By submitting your design to the Airtable spreadsheet, you are agreeing to share copyright with me for life.
  7. When I download the image, I will then upload it on a shirt on Amazon Merch and submit it for approval. Amazon will review the design and either approve it or request changes.
  8. Once the design is approved, I will order the shirt in three colors! As soon as I receive the shirt and love it, I will prepare the post announcing you as the winner, send the 200 Steem, and add you to my @steemvoter!

Thank you for reading this and I am excited about our opportunity to collaborate!

Love,
Jerry Banfield

Now instead of a phoenix how about this bird?

I like to see jerr wear this dodo bird on his shirt, its already extinct so its more valuable than a phoenix.

On dash.org there are great shirts too.

I' d like a shirt with a dodo on it!

Hi Jerry,
I am a professional painter and I would love to work with you, but I find this kind of contests and all these rules very odd. If the goal is just to get a lot of views and upvotes you will get them for sure.

OH Snap! I love to draw Jerry! Eeekk... Let me see what I can come up with. Btw if you get a chance, check out my latest post, you are featured in it for being a good acroyogi flyer! :) hehe Enjoy!

so nobody has actually posted a phoenix yet ! I only came back to see the phoenix

cool! I could do this. when's the deadline? could even do a speedpainting challenge along with this. I just finished a huge oil painting and now in the middle of tearing down my station. I made a giant pyramid frame holding my new 4K webcam above it. worked good on my 4K zoomable screen via camera Lucida app. I will start to build a smaller station soon and do a watercolor project to test my new style. I hope to post it soon. after that I could totally invest into your design project. I'm sure it would come out great. I don't think I'll be able to beat the deadline but please keep me in mind. I love challenges like this.

I would join in if I knew how to draw Phoenix ;u;

Is it supposed to be hand drawn?

oh, love it! I'll try to join.

Interested if I could draw! I might have a crack though if I get time!

Good work.
