No, really. I really do want your artwork. I had posted in the extremely long blog post on the street team's MySpace page "VAMPS x America Project" that I am in the process of creating a fanbook for all VAMPS fans to submit their work. More importantly, I really would appreciate submissions from fans who are unable to attend the show. I want your voices heard and I want this to be your "time to shine" as well.

In addition to artwork, you're welcome to send photos of you guys doing "'V' for 'VAMPS,'" cos-playing as either HYDE or K.A.Z, doing random VAMPS-inspired acts, etc...Also, if you feel you aren't very "artistically inclined" (which I believe to be UNTRUE btw), you are most welcome to send some "words of love" to the band, or messages as normal people would call 'em. *lol* I can't accept handwritten letters because I can't post an address for you to send them to. However, you are more than welcome to scan your letter an e-mail it to me.

Guidelines for submissions:

1. All traditional artwork such as drawings and paintings (no oil paintings please!) should be done in 8.5 x 11 inch format. You can scan your work OR you can take a photo of it (if you choose to do so, do it outside during the day. Natural lighting works best in these instances).

Scans and photos should be e-mailed to me here:
i.heart.VAMPS@gmail.com

2. Any traditional letters (i.e. non-email), should be scanned. I can't provide an address for you to send it, sorry. If you don't have a scanner, I'm sure your local copy/print place or a nearby FEDEX Kinko's would be happy to help you. Your letter scans or e-mails with your messages to VAMPS should be sent here:
i.heart.VAMPS@gmail.com

Also, please put your heart into your message and let VAMPS know how you feel. Messages like "omgyouguyseffingrockandiheartyouforever" are a bit distasteful, not to mention, hard to read.*lol* Please keep in mind that VAMPS' English comprehension is somewhat limited. Your message also doesn't have to be an autobiography, either. Sometimes, less is more. However, you can make it as long as you want, which is perfectly fine with me. Please keep your messages appropriate and you can use your judgement in that regards.



D E A D L I N E S
Deadline for artwork submissions, letter scans, e-mailed messages, etc...is:
JUNE 1st, 2009

This is because it will take a while for me to put this together, especially if I receive a lot of submissions. I need time to arrange the submissions, edit the book, bind it, etc...and I need extra time in case I experience technical difficulties or the place where I may have the book binded screws up the book somehow. Unfortunately, these things happen sometimes, so I need to prepare for it & make sure you VAMPS-tastic submissions look VAMPS-some. ;)

Remember, ALL SUBMISSIONS SHOULD BE SENT HERE:

i.heart.vamps@gmail.com

or you can PM me or something. ;) Please, please, please help me out!!

Much VAMPS-love,
H.P.
