The beginnings of this year’s poster as it was a few days ago.

On air, we’ve been checking in periodically to view the Official Desert Bus 9 Poster as it continues to evolve. Michael Lunsford produces the poster throughout the marathon, adding in highlights as we go. Our most recent additions include the army of Fugi faces and the Murder Hallway.

The Video Strike Team has prepared this webpage where you can see the poster changes from revision to revision. As new revisions are available, the VST is also creating an image map from the poster that links directly to moments from this year’s run on YouTube. And, if you’re interested in getting the final poster, you can order it now on the LoadingReadyRun store.

As is tradition, our last live auction of the run will be the one and only large print version of the poster. Exact time is to be determined, so stay tuned to the feed towards the end of the run.

Fugi has decided to run an all-shift Art Challenge because, and I quote, “He likes to make the Blog Team’s lives as difficult as possible”.

*sigh* Thanks Fugi

But I am super excited for this challenge. Fugi’s favourite game is Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. He would like fan art of The Wind Waker, no specific theme, no specific references, no specific media. Let your imagination sail across the Great Sea and send your entries to [email protected] with the subject line Wind Waker. Please include the public name you’d like to be used if you are selected as a winner. 

The prize for this challenge is one of our Desert Bus for Hope 9 T-Shirts from Fangamer. As we discussed earlier the shirt is available for pre-order but this will be the fastest way of getting one of these amazing shirts!
