In December of 2009, I sent out this call on behalf of Piranha Betty's Art Market, a collective gallery and handmade craft store in the Fishtown area of Philadelphia that I was a member of:

Create an image of Piranha Betty and send it to us. All mediums and visual interpretations are welcome. Entries will be featured in a month-long exhibition at the shop and then go on permanent display here on the website. We look forward to seeing your imagination and creativity at work.

Deadline: June 30, 2010

Unfortunately, Piranha Betty's closed it's doors in the middle of June 2010, just before the deadline, and the Piranha Betty's site is no more, so the work will now be exhibited here.
