Getcha Artistic Talents Ready

Over at Yahoo, Greg has a neat contest up. It's goal? Try and make Gary Bettman look heroic, respectable and whatever other positive descriptors you would like to add to the end of this sentence.

Puck Daddy is proud to present our first reader-submitted art contest -- Gary Bettman: Portraits in Heroism.

We're asking you to send in your drawings, paintings, Photoshops and any other electronically-submitted visual media that depicts Gary Bettman in a moment of true valor and heroism. Fighting to the death in "300." Body-slamming Andre the Giant in Wrestlemania III. Here's an example I created in roughly 180 seconds: Gary Bettman fighting a fire-breathing dragon.

I encourage everyone to enter, partially because there are prizes involved and partially because the outcome of this is sure to be hilarious. As you well know, this website fully endorses hilarity (not to be confused with Hillary) as well as Mr. Wyshynski.

It is with these ideas in mind that I present to you my own entry, which could hopefully offer up some inspiration or the aforementioned hilarity. Good luck and happy photoshopping!

  1. You used a painting by David? Well played, sir.

    The part of that spent 4 years in art history classes cries over this. The rest of me rejoices.
