Of course Zachary thinks mommy and I are awesome. Doesn’t have much of a clue about art yet, though (but he does like my watercolor paintings up on the walls of his room!) Yes, missed you this Challenge, Marek, hopefully next time around!

Well, let’s see, of the last 7 Challenges, I’ve placed in two. That’s not a very high average. I’m going to have to work a lot harder if I want any renaming to happen. (But then when that happens, they’ll kick me out and make me a judge. That would be sad, I’d miss all you guys!) But thanks for the thought, Alwyn!
Well, I guess this means I have to by that cintique with my own money now. he he.
Well, so will I, Kory: No hardware was part of my prize package. But this Challenge has reminded me that I definitely need to go out and buy more RAM! :curious: Lunch some time would be great, 'though I never make it down to the Penninsula on weekdays. But if you happen to be up in SF…?
…Goes to show that the wives are usually right, doesn’t it?
Certainly in this case. My wife, while not an illustrator, also has a great eye and happens to give great crits on my WIPs! :love:Anyhow, great seeing you around for another Challenge!
…
And to everyone else: Thanks! Hopefully they’ll keep letting me do these and I’ll see you around the next time!
