Lord and Taylor in New York held a contest for their new logo. All it had to be was a rose in any medium. This is my entry, as simplistic as it is. The day I heard about the contest, I drew this in my sketchbook. I had not drawn any rose in about 6 years, I hope it places in the top 60 (the first judging level open to the public). I had to try because the grand prize is 10K, 1 or more trips to New York and public recognition that I may be an artist. Will find out somewhere around the 2nd of july. Drawn by hand with my favorite pencil, then gimp'd to give it sharpness.

Update: Not even in the top 60. It was worth it though.
