I have never bothered to enter a DA contest before, but this one struck a chord. I lost my mother to cigarettes last month, and it was the most horrible experience I've ever been through - not to mention the experience that she, herself, went through. I don't expect to win, but I think my entry is, in it's own simple way, as close to the truth as you are going to get. They were looking for monsters. I took a more Zen approach. It's on my homepage, take a look.

I finished my entry in the jar project, and got in in by the deadline - April2. I had the idea for it as soon as I got the jar, about 6 weeks ago, but didn't put it together until the very last minute. I regret having not done it alot sooner, and spending some time with the finished peice - I really liked it! That is a problem I have with deadlines in general - they seem to cripple me. This is the second Arthouse project that I have been able to complete successfully, so maybe I'm getting over it! I don't know how to add a link, but the arthouse is a great way to get the creativity flowing. Copy and paste: www.arthouse coop.com

So I got on board with The Sketchbook Project 2012. My theme is "In 50 Years". I am hoping the goal will motivate me to draw. It definetly has me thinking, anyway... Google it if you want to join, or know more about it. The books will be going on nationwide tour in the spring...
