SCARY SWEET

I have such a sweet tooth that it is a wonder that I HAVE teeth!  I love chocolate… and most things you can cover in chocolate.  You can keep your chocolate-covered insects, thank-you-very-much.  Chocolate covered crickets and grasshoppers are less delicacy and more something out of a horror movie for me.  Butterfinger bars, on the other hand.  How was that for a segue?  Butterfinger AND horror movies, what more could you want from a Call for Art Entries?  Don’t miss this one…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Butterfinger the 13th Movie Poster Contest!  There doesn’t seem to be a entry fee, and it is tailor made for graphic designers and illustrators!  The assets are even available for download!  Take a look…

*Editor’s Note:  I love Butterfinger; however, this post is NOT sponsored by Butterfinger, it’s parent company or subsidiaries.  I wish it were, ha.
