Crash Kama Sutra

ABOVE: Kevin Levell’s entry.
We still have no official announcement on the Crash Cover competition, but responding to my enquiry, Kevin Levell wrote to tell me of his own entry. Referring to the unpublished Henry Yee design I previously pointed to, Kevin says: ‘I hadn’t seen this approach with dummies, but it’s remarkably similar to my entry in the final competition…’
Kevin also says, ‘I’ve done a number of searches but have uncovered only a few other entries. My fave is Leona’s but good luck to all who entered anyway.’
I’ve included these below (myself, I love Kevin’s).

One of three. I canvassed friends to see which was best - got different responses from all so went on gut instinct.
Thanks for the mention. Lots of great entries - people have put a lot of effort into this competition, so it’s a shame that the publishers are leaving everyone hanging. I just wish they’d hurry up and announce a winner like they said they would weeks ago!
