Dear Artists and/or Writers: Common Ties has Landed a Book Deal!

We are collecting people’s illustrated confessions - in 50 words or less - until Nov. 1, 2009. Confessions can be about the recession or any aspect of your life. You should submit your art and words in the same email, but you do not have to lay them out (we do that on our end). Accepted submissions will receive $100 and appear in our full-color coffee table confessions anthology, scheduled for publication in 2010 by Santa Monica Press. Click on the above confession to learn more.
