TWHL! I need your help!

My girlfriend, Lesley, has entered a contest for her portfolio where the prize is a 3 month stay with 3rd Ward, an art and design centre in New York.

As much as I don't want to send her overseas AGAIN (we recently successfully got through a year in a long distance relationship), this prize is far too awesome to pass up.

So, what do you have to do? Simple: just check out this site and rate it five stars! There's no signing up or anything, but there is a time delay on subsequent ratings.

If you do vote, then you are truly awesome.

Wow! She's got some talent. What is she considering doing?

She'd be a FANTASTIC childrens book illustrator.

Wow great work! I'd be lying if I said she doesn't deserve the 5 stars.

Don't be silly. GO WITH HER.

What's the time delay? Should we vote every day?
Commented 13 years ago2010-12-11 02:00:40 UTC Comment #36063
Every day would be fantastic guys. :)

Blitz: She is freelancing at the moment and yes, she's writing a few children's books.

DiscoStu: I would very much love to, but I have a full-time job. Not sure I could finagle it...

Unpaid leave?
Commented 13 years ago2010-12-11 02:06:35 UTC Comment #36064
It'd put a strain on my department, that's for sure.

I am amazing!

Done and Dusted.

I like her character style but her image browser sucks balls. Takes ages to load a single image and clicking to "next image" isn't there :<

I like the drawings, they remind me of the Penny-Arcade visual style.

She definitely has some talent, and it's definitely worthy of 5 stars.

Well that was easy enough.

thats actually really good

By the way, is this allowed? I'm not a rule enforcer of anything but do you not feel this is cheating? Or is this open to the public and it's all about who can get the most strangers to vote?

Make a chain letter then and people will accidently vote :D
Commented 13 years ago2010-12-11 20:02:31 UTC Comment #36065
It's open to public and I guarantee you that all the other entrants are doing the same thing.

Besides, everyone here has said that the work is worthy of five stars.

Which image browser are you talking about btw?
Commented 13 years ago2010-12-11 22:10:20 UTC Comment #36072
Your partners website. When you click on her work it opens it up in a sort of flash like box with "loading" appearing each time.

The lack of a "next" button is really annoying.

Such work doesn't need tiny thumbnails. Would be better if it was all just large images on top of each other so I can just scroll down and look at them all.
Commented 13 years ago2010-12-11 22:38:14 UTC Comment #36066
I'll look into it. I built the website based on her design, but I agree with the tiny thumbnails and lack of next/previous buttons.

As for the load times, unfortunately the server that the site is on (which is mine) isn't great for international visitors. I'll be switching hosts when my contract's up.
