UPDATE: Contest Results, Features, and 2nd Contest

OK, First, an apology;;; I have been totally spaced out for a couple months.  Haven't really been too communicative with my life.  Luckily, there were no contest entries, so nobody is waiting for results or anything....

So contest extended, until Midnight, 21 Dec 2012 (End of the World(TM))...

More features will be forthcoming, as I get myself collected back to reality again.

I have yet to mail out prizes from the last contest and gifts to a friend.  Sigh, I have been thinking about it but my life is such an unholy mess it gets difficult to find anything at all sometimes, especially my sanity and presence of mind.  But I am back on track, so it will be mailed out soon.  My apologies again.

Merpa, your package is already together, I just have to locate money for postage lol.  Thanks again so much for the pictures you sent, just looking at them now, they are lovely.    I may have to send you a couple or few things back lol.  I do have too much art about too.  WIsh I could foist off cats by sending them out in the mail.... anyone want a cat?  I have toomany (that is a number inconceivably large, bigger than any possible infinity; it is even bigger than a gajillion or bazillion, so .... just so everyone knows, I have toomany cats.)  Anyone want a cat?

Funny image I saw lemme see if I can post it or a link here?  Ah maybe not It was a picutre of a cat in a tube, and it said... the internet is made of pipes, <picture of cat in a tube>, ...and those pipes are full of cats.  Meow.




First Place in our 1st Contest goes to for .  Here are some pix from her gallery please go and check out the rest and give some nice comments and a watch if you like!

Something is missing...
Time knows me not
Its late
Or early
I cannot sleep
So ponder instead on life...
Sitting in my Lair
Outside the Moon is up
Big and round
And really rather reassuring...
Not a sound around
Apart from a lamb calling his Mum
What blessed peace
Such Rest...
Yet I am not at ease
I am missing
Missing something
Missing you...
Things may be good
Looking fine and dandy
But something is missing
You..... <-- she has a family of Indian Runner Ducks, how cool is that!?

Second Place -- this was a straight up tie, so as Tyrant of this group I will declare a winner: Kiukkukissa is the second place winner.  Cheers for her brilliant entry
!  You would do well to take a look at her fine gallery it contains deviations such as these    and many more!!!
