Hey folks,

I was trying to think of a competition today, and nothing was coming into my brain.

I mean I could always do the “What was Gareth’s first band?” nonsense, but who gives a shit? Not me.

To be honest, I felt like a bit of an idiot because I couldn’t think of an original competition, and then suddenly one hit me.

Why don’t I get you all to make me look like an dickhead?

You can use Photoshop, Paint, Gimp, or given just draw a picture and email it in to us.

I want to look as gross, stupid, weird, bizarre, creepy, as possible.

The winner won’t be judged on their photoshopping skills necessarily, after all, we’re not all graphic designers!

The winner will be judged on what basically makes me and my label, laugh the most. So try and be original!

What do you win I hear you ask?

You’ll win a copy of both my albums, and my latest single, What’s love without meaning? on CD. Plus, perhaps more importantly, you’ll be fucking cool in the eyes of twitter.

Now if you are on Twitter, you can tweet your images to www.twitter.com/garethicke and use the hashtag #GarethLooksStupid

If you aren’t on twitter, you can email garethickeartsubmissions@yahoo.co.uk and we’ll post them up on there for you.

The winner will be announced on the Friday of the Isle of Wight Festival (14th).

Now here are a couple of examples from my mate Tippers.

    

As you can see, they’re totally different so have a think.
