Holiday Dinner Table and Bitcoin [Open Call Winner @ngfx]

A HODL Family Holiday

This past week we created an open call for artwork and received some fantastic entries. Here's a breakdown of our favorites and the winning piece - by @ngfx!

Artwork Open Call: We called for a design a thumbnail illustration for The Creative Crypto Magazine focused on the theme of a family holiday dinner table and Bitcoin. We asked Steemians to do a cryptocurrency parody off of the classic Norman Rockwell painting (below). After all, the holidays are a special time of year when family gathers around a delicious home-cooked meal... and debates blockchain. See the full open call announcement, here.

Winner - @ngfx

We had some amazing entries, this was a tough decision. Ultimately, @ngfx came away with a hilarious and graphically compelling piece that served up some serious alt coin power. There's the family cat (cryptokitty) in the background with a HODL picture frame hanging lovingly by the dinner table. Congrats @ngfx!

Honorable Mentions - @crittercrats + @bidesign + @mbell

These illustrators created some fantastic crypto landscapes to dive into. Please make sure to explore their pages and give them some support! @crittercrats made an amazingly creative world and a new node-like table for crypto to sit around. This work was spectacular. We're honored to have a seat at the table :)

@bidesign had a creative and clever take on cell phones at the dinner table. Here, even grandma was caught (via selfie) logging into Coinbase to check her balances.

@mbell made a Bitcoin friendly table with a portrait of Satoshi looking adoringly from the wall. These BTC characters are hilarious and fun to watch.

About the Creative Crypto

The Creative Crypto (@creativecrypto) is an online magazine dedicated to the growing culture of blockchain - art, design, fashion, architecture, music, entrepreneurship, social impact, and more. The magazine serves as the nexus for activity and information across all crypto-networks and as the foundation for unique design projects born from creative partnerships. Our mission is to make blockchain culture and its components accessible and appealing to anyone interested in the emerging technology.

Each of the thumbnails for our featured articles are also original art pieces created by homegrown Steemians like @zsolt.vidak, @carrotcake, @kr-marketing and @aaronhong. The thumbnail is the window into the story and we believe in building compelling windows to draw the crypto-curious into a topic that they might not yet know much about.
