I just thought I’d share another little something that’s been making me smile.  I’ve always wanted a personal address stamp but never got around to putting something together… besides that, it’s difficult coming up with something that I’d like to see printed over and over again.  Well, I finally made one and I’ve been stamping everything I can get my hands on.  I love this little bugger .  Maybe I’ll make in an annual thing to come up with a new address stamp… hehehe!

It’s week 4!  The topic I chose this week is Princess in Peril or Damsel in Distress.  I hope it inspires some fun drawings!  Next week I’ve asked a fellow sketchoholic to do a sketch and choose the topic and it sounds like they’re doing it!  I’ll post more about it next week but I’m so excited about including other artists in this contest series (even if we’re not so famous .

I’m a little behind with these posts.  The contests are still a lot of fun for me.  The other artists on Sketchoholics are really cranking out some fun drawings!  Here is the prize for last week.  The topic was ‘two heads’.

I mentioned a few days ago that I was doing some drawing challenges on Sketchoholic.com.  I’m having fun so far!  This is week two and The topic to draw from is Kung-Fu Animal!  If you have any suggestions for topics you can leave them in the comment section below.

Here’s the prize, thanks!

Whoa!  Looks like this blog has been on vacation… what’s going on here?  Lots!

I’m here today to mention that I’m hosting a few contests over on Sketchoholic.com.  I’ve missed the weekly competitions over there.  It’s really nice to be part of a community of artists who just want to draw together!  I decided it was about time I gave back a little and so that’s what I’m doing!  I’ve been inking some 4×6 drawings as prizes and so far I have enough for 4 contests.

‘Monster Portrait’ was the first contest and it’s nearly wrapped up.  It’s been fun to see all of the variations on the theme!  Here is the prize for this contest…

If you are interested in checking out the next contest it should start Monday of next week!  Visit Sketchoholic.com and look for the icon at the top of this post.  I’m calling the series ‘Sketchoholics Anonymous’ so come on out and join me for some drawing!
