Art Contest and Tumblr Launch

One Of Us is continuing its quest to conquer the internet by increasing its social media presence.  We’re launching a Tumblr page incredibly soon and we’re having an art contest to mark the occasion. All entries will be featured on Tumblr and the winner of the contest will receive one of our very own One of Us t-shirts and an Amazon gift card!

All you need to do is create some site-related art. It could be a drawing, a painting, a sculpture, a bunch of sock puppets, or any other form of art you choose. As long as you can submit a picture of it, it’s eligible. All submissions should be sent oneofusnet@gmail.com with “Art Contest” in the subject line. The deadline is November 4th, so if you’re looking to win, now’s the time!

That’s all for now! But of course, I can’t leave without promoting our series of movie commentaries, Watch A Movie With Us! Imagine having the likes of Ashley Moreno, C. Robert Cargill, Brian Salisbury, Jason Murphy and some of your other favorite personalities sitting in your living room riffing on a film with you. Well, that dream is now a reality at the low price of $1.99 per movie! I call that a steal!

This week, we added Evil Dead and Tales From the Crypt’s Demon Knight to the library. Sure, they would’ve been great to have for Halloween, but these commentaries are great to have year-round. Every purchase you make helps to keep the site going, so you can have a night’s worth of entertainment and do some good at the same time! Click the image below and pick up a commentary or six! Have a great weekend!
