Back in 1993 (I think) KROQ in Los Angeles had a contest to design the cover for the yet to be released "Interlude" single. The winner would be chosen by Morrissey and also received a cash prize from his record label at the time (I think it was $500). I heard they received a lot of entries (thousands?) but after the contest ended, I don't recall hearing any sort of annoucement and the single was never released in the U.S. The release in the U.K. used a vintage Roger Mayne photograph. The winner of the contest, Joseph Magic Namsinh, recently sent in a scan of his winning artwork:

yes morrissey did pick my artwork over many others, and warner brother did pay me $1000 (i still have the check stub) and i had a change to meet moz.
thank you for all kind thoughts on my artwork, if you like it or not and thanks for the bashing too.

Please scan and post the check stub and any other evidence. I can't see anyone choosing this for a major single release. I mean no offense by that but this would never go. How many entrants were there? Back this nice painting up with some evidence and help put our sceptic minds at ease.

You have to expect that a good amount(not all) of the people from Moz Solo are rude and obnoxious. Its funny how they comment yet have no clue of who you are and the people you know. They can only wish. Wasn't it Moz himself that picked the winning painting? For the people who have nothing positive to say... I suggest that they submit PROOF that they can draw or paint Moz or anything for that matter and also prove that they are not total and complete fucjobs! But I suppose that won't happen now will it?

honestly, you're a talented guy, joe magic. but that painting belongs air-brushed on the back of a denim jacket, not on an album jacket.

i'll be honest.. (Score:1)
1. never EVER put your signature in or near the center of the painting ESPECIALLY when it becomes a focus point. even if this painting was brilliant.. your "magic" signature would steal so much of it and it would be tragic.
2. don't outline. i mean.. somtimes you can but the way you did it to moz makes it look VERY amatuer. perhaps you've been looking at too many comic books (and i'm not knocking comics either.. i am actually currently making one)
3. you have lots of negaitive space that was used up by splattered paint. it looks like the composition wasn't thought out and you didn't know what to do with the back ground so you just painted it blue and when it was too boring you splattered paint over it. next time, don't put a person floating in space unless you are doing a sci-fi thing. cuz that's the only curcumstance i could think of to make since. make the surrounding make since with the content you are painting.
4. i've looked at your other works and it shows you don't suck. personally.. i don't think it looks like morrissey. i think some of your other stuff is better. your moz looks like a football player. did you look off a photo or just drew a guy and put some moz hair and eyebrows on him? there are 3 levels of art. 1(the lowest) art strictly from your imagination. 2.(medium) art from a photograph or other painting. 3. (highest) photo from real life. obviously you couldn't have painted it from real like but in my opinion it didn't look like you used a photo either. (ps. a combiniation of the 3 is recommended)
i could go on but i hope this helps you. if i knew how i'd post some of my stuff and i wish i knew about this contest cuz personally i think i would have won. not to have my head up my ass but to be honest i take very much pride in my work.
