Okay fellow TDers, my birthday is coming up within exactly two weeks and I'd like to issue a challenge (of course!) with a reward that, hopefully, will set the winner up for all posterity. With me so far?

Well here's the deal.... Whoever makes me a picture of the best Alice Cooper (hush, he's my honey!!) themed topic will nab a spot in my "Yin and Yang" seriel and YOU WILL BE THE ONLY ONE EVER! If anyone else ever catches my fancy to be included, it won't even remotely be as awesome as your mention. I promise!

The rules are the same as they've been for other challenges, just the end date will be a bit longer than a week. All submissions should be in by the day before my Big 41 (or in other words, March 10th).

So this should be a boon for all the portraitists, but I bet there might be plenty of interesting interpretations regardless. I'm looking forward to them and I wish each and every participant good luck!! May the games begin!

This sounds like a lot of fun, I can't wait to see what people come up with. I have to say I admire everyone's energy on here. I'm pooped out that's why I'm not doing much in way of drawing. So I will be sitting back, well actually I sit in a caned chair and don't use the back, and watching the show you all present.

I hear ya DMarla. And I just now realized that I forgot to mention that you need to post a link to your entry here. Yeah, I know that's probably obvious, but considering how forgetful *I* am, I figured covering all bases can only be a good thing.

Thanks in advance for your efforts!! Go get 'em!

I don't know who this person is either. Just went to one site and saw a guy in make-up is this the person?

Yep. Famous shock (the original!) rockstar from the 70s until now.

Wiki is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Cooper

With the band (he's down in front):

Solo late 80s / early 90s:

And more recently, sans makeup:

Hope that helps! Sorry that I forgot to post some links. As I said, the ol' memory just ain't what it used to be.

He isn't going to be easy to draw with all the character in his face. He has large features.

Gosh, you all are just blowing my mind! Way back when I first joined, I tried to do an Alice picture that a 1st grader would've been ashamed of. So, in the immortal words said to my master, I now say to you....

"I'M NOT WORTHY!"
