Hey guys,

Samur-Why?

Here I go again. Haven't done much photoshop painting lately, since I've been drawing on Paper(!). Anyway, here's a a sketch that turned into a samurai.

Dr. Spaceman Returns

Sketch turned into a photoshop quicksketch. Now in beautiful color!

Paging Dr. Spaceman

Haven't posted in a while. Here's a spaceman sketch.

Soon the cash will come rolling in

Hey guys,

I finally put my profile up on the nifty Saatchi website (Pat Canning has his up there already):

And you can too! You can post up to 8 images. Easy stuff with a nice layout.

NLAC Arts Awards and Project Grants

Hey All,

The deadline for nominations for the 2007 Arts Awards is coming up on February 9th. Visit the NLAC website for details and application forms:

Also, the deadline for their spring granting session is on March 15th. Application form available on the website as well. Go get some, now.

More Arty Opportunities

The 2007 Art Procurement deadline has been extended to January 22nd, so here's your chance if you didn't submit something last week. And this year you only have to submit slides or a CD instead of the actual work, in case that was holding you back.

Also, here's a competition I heard about on WAM yesterday: The Commonwealth Arts and Crafts Awards:

The prize is a grant of up to £8,000 to travel and study in another Commonwealth country. And there are 10 winners, so I guess chances are pretty decent. Have a look at the website. Deadline isn't until May 1st. Seems like a good opportunity to get away for a while. Far away.

And if you're looking for other places to apply or for similar competitions, Akimbo.biz and the Craft Council website are two that I check periodically (linked on the right there). If you guys know of any other good sites, please post them here. Cheers!

No show at the RCA yet

Hey gang, I got the letter from RCA today saying we didn't get a show, but to apply again next year. I'm still glad we applied and would like to have a go at a group show somewhere else in the very near future.

Thanks again to everybody who sent along images and bios.
