We Can Has Winners!
We got a lot of great responses to the photo imitation contest we posted earlier this week, for which we asked you to send in re-creations (photos, art, anything) of images found here on JunkMag and at Editor Brad Walsh’s website. Brad, Associate Editor Kathy Cacace, and Christian Siriano judged the submissions and chose two winners to receive prizes.
The top two will each receive a stuffed gift bag we saved from the party, including: an Anna Nicole tote bag from Kill Shop Kill; a Lloyd Hoffman “Coke” t-shirt from MerchDirect; issues of Playgirl Magazine; the L Magazine; FlipFuck flipbook and sex book from Box Magazine; assorted CDs, stickers, and pins from Stolen Transmission, the Musebox, and In De Goot; JunkMag pins; a discount coupon for any purchase from Indiepix; a free week pass to the New York Health and Racquet Club; a glossy 8×10 print of one of Brad’s photographs; and a personalized, signed look card from Christian Siriano featuring images of his Project Runway final collection.
First place goes to…
Hannah Rohrs (model) and Liz Alloca (photographer). These girls sent in two submissions (the other one appears later, after the jump), both imitations of photos from the “Time of the Season” zombie shoot I did for Queerty last fall. They clearly spent a lot of time on this and the product is even better than what they modeled it on. Love these girls! They are both getting gift bags since they both sent things in and worked together.
Second is Josh, who says of the middle image “I decided to send this one along while I was playing in my sketchbook.” These both are modeled on some of my photos of Sophia Lamar from various nights at Ruff Club. Josh is a really great artist and has painted me before, and I was excited that he sent something in for this! He’s also getting a gift bag.

I wonder if the photographer from People magazine read about this contest, since his portrait of Christian is a complete Brad Walsh knock-off.
