It's incomprehensible that November is nearly upon us... Time truly keeps marching on. I have a few updates and a request to ask of you! Nothing too Earth-shattering...

First, I have several art projects bubbling away, which I cannot wait to share. One of them is rather unusual for me. I have started sculpting clay figures of Sammy and Louis, my cartoon penguin characters. I have a figure of Louis completed so far. It has been years since I used clay, and it is much more difficult than I remember!

This Monday, November 2nd, marks the birthday of A little note of good cheer on her page would make her feel good, if you are so inclined!

Thank you for reading this.

CONTEST RULES:

You can win the bumper prize of this portrait of Jess () that I drew signed by me and her, mounted on a backing alongside the actual bra she wore for the pose. The concept might be tacky, but, at least it's fun!

The rules: You can draw, write a story, or photograph an image that relates to how you feel about clothing. That's it: you can be as creative as you wish within that loose subject. The prize will go to the most imaginative use of the concept of clothing and how the artist feels about it. Please inform me when you post your entry via a note. The deadline is December 11th, 2009. Have fun!
