<p>The New Yorker Magazine recently <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/online/covers/slideshow_tilleycovers" title="The New Yorker">had a contest</a> asking people to submit their redesigns of the famous <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eustace_Tilley#Eustace_Tilley" title="The New Yorker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia">Eustace Tilley</a> character. One of the coolest things about it all was that people had to submit their rendition using Flickr at <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/tilleycontest/" title="THE NEW YORKER'S EUSTACE TILLEY CONTEST, 2008">the contest group page on Flickr</a>. You can <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/tilleycontest/pool/" title="The THE NEW YORKER'S EUSTACE TILLEY CONTEST, 2008 Pool">see all the entries</a> there. These are my favorites.</p>
