Hot Mess Art Contest Winner! Congratulations, Neisha Lockwood!

Neisha… you totally nailed it! When we first announced the art contest a few months ago, you entered very quickly with the most insightful, thoughtful and funny entry we got. Great work! Your reward is on the way… and we hope you’ll take us up on the other prize – drawing an official Hot Mess strip!

A sincere thanks to everyone who entered: we were overwhelmed with the response! In a couple of days, we’ll be creating an “Art Contest” page that features some of the other fantastic artists who entered, as well as announcing the two runner-ups!

And stay tuned! Another Art Contest is in the works!

Check out the blog for a short Q & A with our winner, Neisha Lockwood!

We’ll be doing another contest with more prizes very soon, so check in for updates!

Interview with Hot Mess Art Contest Winner, Neisha Lockwood!

Here’s a little Q & A with the grand prize winner of the very first Hot Mess Art Contest!

HOT MESS: How did you first find out about Hot Mess?

NEISHA LOCKWOOD: I caught a link to it from Emily Chan’s blog on DeviantArt.

HM: Nice! We LOVE StupidFox. So, after checking out the comic, what made you want to enter the contest?

NL: I read the comic and realized that I seriously identify with Anna – even though I have never been the “new kid,” I have always been an outsider. I love the characters and their personalities, so I wanted to show that even if I didn’t win!

HM: So, what’s your overall goal as an artist?

NL: I have never thought about that actually. I really just love art and expressing myself through art.

HM: Ok, so as an artist, what would be your dream project to work on?

NL: I actually have had this crazy idea to modify a bunch of mannequins for a while now…

HM: Ha, that sounds cool – I think I know what you’re next contest entry will be! So who is your favorite Hot Mess character?

NL: Definitely Scooziecat!

MH: Why is that?

NL: He is sort of the voice of reason and reality in Anna’s world and I relate most to him. And he is super cute.

HM: Do you think of yourself as a Hot Mess?

NL: Oh, for sure. I will be the first to admit that I have quite a few screws loose – or missing entirely.

HM: Well, congratulations and thank you again for checking out the site – we’re working hard to get you, and everyone else who clicks over more content than ever before… as well as a soon to be announced second art contest!
