We often find ourselves bragging about how cool our customers are — seriously, it’s all, ‘Guess what Eliza said on the blog today!’ or, ‘Maria from the Make the Cut Collection was so rad. I love that we sell her designs on the site!’ What’s awesome is that our admiration often does lead to joint collaborations, or — even better — new friendships, too!
Nova Scotian ModCustomer @kate_leth of web comic Kate or Die! conjured up the idea to sell the above print to fundraise for her kitty’s surgery. Our Twitter gal, Martha, discovered the print during her daily rounds, fell in love, and personally purchased one to support Kate’s kitty. Kate later drew Martha a little thank-you note for the feline lovin’!
UPDATE: Just so you know, we are not longer accepting submissions. We are so grateful for your beautiful works and your enthusiasm in this project! Thank you!
And, speaking of collaborations, here’s something for you to noodle on. We’d love to see more of your artwork – it may end up as part of an upcoming stylebook or Pinterest contest! Feel free to send us your finest illustration! Here’s a few deets:
- The best way for us to admire your submission is for you to photograph your work, making sure its evenly lit by natural light. You can also scan your work. Just make sure the image you send us is high-res.
- Email us the image as an attachment to you@modcloth.com.
- At this time, we are looking for 2-D illustrations only. Please, no photographs unless they are of your illustration. Please, no photographs of 3-D artwork.
- Our master plan is still somewhat in the works, so if we like your submission, we will email you back as soon as possible with more specifics!
I love this idea and I would love to submit a piece. When is the deadline for submitting?
Thanks for asking, Julia! If possible, having something into us by June 20th would be fab. At the very latest, the end of the month. Can’t wait to see what you have!
Aww….shucks. 🙂 Thanks for the mention, guys!
Ummm it can be ANything?? or cat related???
Hi,Joanna! It can be anything! If you feel strongly about cats, feel free to send a cat illustration, but we’re not specifically asking for that. Thanks!
Can we send in two different pieces, or just one?
Lauren, you can send 2 if you like, but we will only pick one should we decide to go with your work. Thank you!
I just found out about this! I just emailed a file. Hopefully, submissions are still open!
You’re good, Ruzanna. Thanks!
UPDATE: We are no longer collecting submissions for this project. Thank you to everyone who submitted your beautiful work!
Awww that’s too bad! I really wanted to do it. I hope there’s a next time 🙂
Aw man sorry I missed this too. Sounds like fun–especially since I’ve already done a few illustrations inspired by my favorite Modcloth designs. And I love that you guys were supporting a customer’s work. Kate’s kitty pics are adorable. Hope she raised the money her baby needs.
Hope you guys got mine! Can’t wait to see what you have planned.
