Several weeks ago, I began working on a new painting for Darwin Day. However, with other deadlines looming and and still being awestruck by the existence of my newborn son, the new Darwin painting isn't near finished. But let this day not go unmarked at The Flying Trilobite! Time for a contest.  |

Write something about my Darwin Took Steps image in 140 characters or less (the same size as a Twitter tweet). It could be a fictional quote, a line of poetry, something to do with The Beagle or evolution by natural selection. Will you focus on the stairs? The beard? The tree of life? A comical way he got a staircase on his head? A knock-knock joke? I'll leave it fairly open-ended. Amuse me.
Contest closes at 12:01 am eastern standard time February 13th 2011 and I'll post the winner on the blog that Sunday. Multiple entries allowed, but they cannot be a series. A whole thought in one 140 character entry.
Entries should be submitted as a comment on this post on my blog, not on my Facebook or Twitter or other rss feed related places.
The winner will receive a signed Darwin Took Steps print in snail mail. Remember, you can also order this print in a variety of ways from my online store, and a portion of the profit goes to The Beagle Project.
Merry Darwin Day!
