Hi All

I've just spent a load of time reading all your fabulous notes of encouragement - that you all for dropping by and taking the time to comment! It means a lot to me.

And look what has happend too - I got a '! Hurrah and thaks to devientART

I'm just back from conference so I'll need a bit of time to sort papers and freebies out and I will be back in the saddle.

output won't be as prolific as before but ther WILL be output!

many thanks once again

Andy

Why I like this artist

I always like to see people do things that I can't do!

hesir is a proper, pukka artist! He has a great "eye" and is subject matter is close to my heart - and he has soooo much talent!

My favourites are his books - they rock! I am so jealous of his ability (but in a good way! - honest )

Examples





Clubs I'm in:





Has been VERY busy - If you want a stamp which matches your deviant type like then pay a visit to her - she has produced these so far - I'll be linking them up with their beasts




There's many more in my Shoutbox with the links to them so that you can use them - you can see my Shoutbox by clicking the Journal button - the Shoutbox is on the left-hand side

Hello everybody!

This is just a note to say that I'm not dead and that a really busy period of my life is just coming to an end and that I' so ashamed to have been away for so long.

Just to keep you informed:

1. I got a promotion - I'm now a manager!
2. I'll be back when I've finished marking some exams
3. I really need to pick up my pencils again - 5 months is tooooo long!
4. I've got four whole days to myself this weekend
5. (blows dust of his pencils)
6. ART TIME!

See you soon!

Andy

I bet you thought this result would never come!

I'm only about six thousand pageviews late - still, better late than not at all

This contest was a really hard one to judge because the entries were so diverse (I made that rod for my own back when I set vague rules) - the standard was very high and I sincerely congratulate ALL of the entrants - kudos goes to you all!

But there has to be some winners so.....

In FIRST PLACE

Why? Because I love the concept and how he tricked me with his perspective - took me a while to work out how he did it!

In joint SECOND PLACE

by and by

Why? - the colours, Ahhhh the colours!

In THIRD PLACE

:thumb39072844: by

Why? - because it just made me laugh!

Just a quick note to say I'm back in the driving seat with a new PC (what am I going to do with 1Tb of memory?) and after a tremendously busy time at work

Just to say that the competition is now closed and that I'll be sorting everything out at the weekend - my first weekend off since the end of July (all say AHH!)

Thanks to all those who entered

I'll get back to you all in the next couple of days
