Congratulations to our winner, Marig! Jamie loves how you captured the home life of Jamie and Ranger, with added adventuring cred.
We had some truly amazing entries that made the decision process very difficult for us here at the DB Art Institute.
We’ll have our Honourable Mentions below along with all of our entries.
We have another Donation Drive up on the block. Jamie is giving away her shift’s Desert Bus for Hope 9 T-Shirt from Fangamer.
As you’ve no doubt heard these shirts are sold out and only available for pre-order. So you can go and order this shirt, but it won’t ship until January.
Or you can win one and have it shipped straight from Desert Bus to you.
Any donations of $7.00 or multiples thereof until 4:00 PM PST will get you an entry for your very own T-Shirt.
DONATION DRIVE
$8.21 (and multiples) until 1:00pm
I don’t know what’s in it but I’m sure it’s kind of amazing!

Art Contest
Jamie & Ranger: Adventurers!!
We’ve got a gorgeous Zebrawood Hero Vault dice box to give away!
Why not have an art contest to give it away, I say! Well, actually our driver Jamie said that, but either way! Anyhow, the contest is: we want an illustration of Jamie and her beloved doge Ranger on an adventure! The rest is up to you — is it a sci-fi adventure? Fantasy? Historical? Based on a TV show or movie or book? Let your imagination run wild!
To enter, email you submission to contests@desertbus.org and use the subject line “Jamie and Ranger Art Contest”! Also include your screen name.
For reference, you can peep Ranger’s Twitter at @SirRangerDanger … lots of photos to be seen! For Jaime, well, uh, she’s driving right now so just look at the stream?
Yesterday we challenged you to illustrate your favourite villain visiting the Desert Bus! Our winner was Aaron Wilson, for this Doom-tacular creation
Here are the rest of our entries!
Samph1re won our Zeta shift movie contest, with this German Expressionist-inspired Meisterstück!

Exclusive Signed PAX Playmat and Water Bottle!
Whether you went to PAX and wish to relive those beautiful memories, or didn’t attend PAX and want to imagine what it would have been like if you had gone, this PAX Prime exclusive playmat and water bottle will be great aids. They’re super pretty and they’re super not available for purchase anymore and they’ll make you feel super special AND super well equipped for your next convention. On top of all that, the playmat has been signed by Mike and Jerry of Penny Arcade, so this is even more awesome than the ones you could have bought at PAX anyway! This whole lot is just a totally winning situation.
Enter to win by donating $5.90! Enter multiple times by donating multiples of $5.90! Get those donations in by 11:00am Pacific!
