Go On, Have a Little Fun!
I know we're not kids anymore, but summers should still be a time when we can loosen up. Now there's a way to do that without losing your creative pro cred: Tattly. It's a new website, just launched today, that sells temporary tattoos designers and photographers will crave. Here are just a few:
I bought a full set of these temporary tattoos - 15 designs and two copies of each design so you can share - that I'm giving away. To enter to win, do the following:
1. Create an example of a tattoo.
2. Upload it to a publicly accessible website (Flickr, Picassa, Photoshop.com, your own site, etc.).
3. Send me the URL by either tweeting it to @CreativeProse or by posting it on our Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/CreativePro.
I'll randomly select a winner from all the entries I've received as of 11:59 P.M. Eastern Standard time on Wednesday, July 13, 2011. Good luck!
