as reported in the grand rapids press

quick summary: some dude named “t. mikey” was offering one of his paintings as an incentive to get people to vote for his artprize entry, which looks like something you’d see on the wall of a bad chinese restaurant.

here’s a picture of t.mikey elegantly showcasing the “t.mikey prize.”

and here’s a excerpt from the follow-up article reporting that his prize violates the rules of the competition:

T. Mikey said he got a few notes congratulating him on his cleverness, including a post on MLive from srdailey, who wrote:

“Is T. Mikey a pirate from the future?”

“That was my favorite,” T. Mikey said with a laugh. “I’m taking that one with me.”
