A fun new way to improve your artistic craft and garner some notice along the way.

The 3 Thumbs Up badge, available for display from the site “[1] Threethumbsupaward.com“

While beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, it seems that bad art abounds these days. Designer and illustrator Von Glischka wants to change that, and he wants your help.

Glischka, principal of [2] Glischka Studios, knows that appealing to the creative instinct to improve is a winner, but it doesn’t hurt to give out a prize for recognition. Thus has he established the “3 Thumbs Up Award” to recognize illustration and design that not only ups the status quo but inspires others to do so as well.

Primarily geared toward creatives (but anyone can view), the 3 Thumbs Up Awards site supports a blog-style posting gallery. To get access, contact 3TU, and you will get a user name and password. Then…illustrate, draw, either physical or digital media. Upload. Over time participants will recieve feedback geared toward making the best of what they have and improving thier execution and style. Once the contribution has been deemed worthy, it will be gratned the soon-to-be-coveted 3 Thumbs Up Award graphic to display whereever wanted.

Three Thumbs Up combines playfullness, access to community, and a place to grow into one easily accessable place where particpants can learn from each other and gives another way for us to make our own names. Even if you don’t illustrate you can view and opine; it’s certanly worth the look of any creative looking to raise our collective levels.
