Hellboy Forum Holiday Art Exchange 2006


Hello everyone! Are you ready for the fourth annual art exchange? Most of you are familiar with the exchange, some of you may have not participated in the past, and I'm sure some of you are even wondering who I am since I don't get to visit the board as much as I have in the past.

So what exactly is the exchange?

The exchange is an opportunity for forum members to give and/or receive original Hellboy fan art. That's right, original Hellboy fan art. Each person creates a piece of Hellboy-themed art (it can be anything) and will send it to a randomly chosen person who is participating in the exchange. This is an opportunity to be super creative.

If you are suddenly sad because you swear up and down that you just cannot possibly create anything you would want to send to someone or you are just not physically able, that is where the awesomeness of this little community really shines. Several people may create multiple pieces of art to send to those individuals who aren't able to send pieces of their own but would still like to participate in the exchange by receiving a piece of fan art. So don't hesitate to participate. 'Tis a time of giving and friendship!

It is important to remember that you will be sending your art directly to the randomly selected individual whose name you receive. This will require you to pay the postage. Remember that the Hellboy Forum is an international community and therefore may require you to send a package to another country.


Who is eligible to participate?

Registered members of Comic Book Resources Forums as of 30 September 2006 and participants in the Hellboy Forum.


What are the guidelines and how do I sign up?

Each person wanting to participate in the exchange will FIRST need to create a Hellboy/Mignola related piece of art (unless you are not creating a piece of art and wanting to receive only). After your art piece is finished (no "in progress" pieces please), please e-mail the following information to me at "petriacce at hotmail dot com":

a scan/picture of your art piece (please keep it to a width of 600 pixels or less) if you are creating multiple pieces to send to those who are only receiving, please send me a scan/picture for each piece.
your real first and last names / forum name
whether you are giving a piece/pieces of art or want to receive only
e-mail address
mailing address (please include any special mailing instructions if you were to receive a package from outside of your country (i.e. mark as gift, special address format, etc.))
I will send you an e-mail response acknowledging the receipt of your information and I will add your name to the participant list below.


What is the timeline?

02 Oct 2006 - Start working on your piece(s) of art now.
31 Oct 2006 - Final date for submitting a scan/picture of artwork (Midnight PT)
06 Nov 2006 - Final date for me sending you the name and mailing information of the person to whom you are sending your art.
15 Nov 2006 - Final date for mailing your art piece to its intended recipient.
15 Nov 2006 - From this date forward please post on this Art Exchange Thread when you receive your art.


The personal information you supply will not be posted on the forum or shared with anyone other than myself and the person who is randomly selected to send you art. If you are under 18 years of age, please ask your parents if it is okay to participate before signing up. Please don't ask me for other participant's personal information even if your intentions are good. Thanks.

Please note that the Hellboy Forum is an international community and some of you will be sending your art package to another country. Please take that into consideration when estimating the financial impact of participating in the exchange.

Please post any questions you may have on this thread. Note that I will probably have to make changes to the information in this post as we go along for clarification reasons. The bottom of the post will indicate the date of the latest edit. Please review the post occasionally to be aware of any changes.

OKAY, THAT IS THE FINAL LIST FOR THIS YEAR'S HOLIDAY ART EXCHANGE. I'LL BE GETTING THE EXCHANGE NAMES AND MAILING INFORMATION OUT TO EVERYONE BY THE 6TH AT THE LATEST. I'LL ALSO GET THE WEBSITE UP SOON.

Visit this year's web site Here (http://home.earthlink.net/~petriacce/exchange2006).

Please note that this art exchange is in no way the responsibility of Mike Mignola, Comic Book Resources, www.hellboy.com, Dark Horse Comics, Inc., or jnapper; it's just a fan thing. Please be kind and only post questions and other ramblings pertaining to the exchange on this thread. Thanks.

[E. Spears]

I'm gonna try to be in this this time. I missed the last holiday exchange, I think. I've got a better grasp of how college it this time, so it might work out for me.

Thanks for putting this thing on again, Pets. Good stuff.

-e

[THE REAL kirk]

Already started one...it is only a question of finishing (on time). Guess I'll find out come the 31st.

As always, thanks for putting this together...again!

[Mike Cross]

The exchange is a good thing. Let's have fun with it!

Maybe lady J or Sir Alz could sticky this...

[Myron L]

Cool...can't wait ! I love the exchange...

[Conundrum]

I better start thinking about my piece(s).

[parrish]

I have a question. How does it work when someone with little or no or negative artistic talent wants to just recieve a piece of art. How does the artist giving a gift get a piece of art also?

Does that make sense?

[patrick r]

I have a question. How does it work when someone with little or no or negative artistic talent wants to just recieve a piece of art. How does the artist giving a gift get a piece of art also?

Does that make sense?Yes, the question does make sense. Trust me, the math all works out. No matter how many people sign up there is enough art for everyone.

People who sign up just to receive will get art on a first come first serve basis depending on how much additional art is created; however, I have to mention that every year of the exchange so far there have been enough additional art pieces created/donated to cover everyone. That is just one of the reasons why our forum is so awesome.

[Maija]

Nuts. I suspect that I am going to have to sit this one out this year. I have got WAY too much stuff I have to get done in the next few weeks.

I can't wait to see other people's art though! Once again you're a good man, Charlie Br--er Patrick for organizing this! :)

[rhboyd]

Oh yeah.... it's time.

I did the summer one.. missed the holiday one last year, and was left feeling empty.

Sign me up!!!

cheers,
-r!

[Pumpkin King]

Cool, very nice

[jackups]

Wow this is great.

[parrish]

The art doesn't have to be a painting or drawing does it? Can it be a sculpture or custom figure or something along those lines?

I think Celtic Fiddler did a quilt at some point didn't she? Was that for the art exchange?

[Mike Cross]

It can be anything as long as it mostly fits the HB theme. We've had a quilt, we've had glass sculpture, we've had statues, we've had toys if i recall, plus traditional pencil/pen/ink/painted art. Go wild.

[Sparky]

MUWAHAHA! /evil laugh I'm in. Oh man, this is gonna be fun.

[Petersen]

DAMN DAMN DAMN!!

I had all the best of intentions for a new-supercool piece that wasn't strictly 2-D....But there is NO WAY I can get it done for the exchange, so I will be offering up an exisitng piece of artwork....
in other words, I'm in.

[Mike Cross]

David, you're stuff is always great, regardless the medium.

[6are54]

I want IVAR L to be my gift giving buddy! heheee:rolleyes:

[Ose]

I'm going to try for this, though I'm more than a little busy with stuff right now. Hopefully I'll be able to do something HB related over the next few weeks :)

[Otto66]

A big pat on the back for doing this again, Patrick.
Yer building up yer Karma points.

Hope everyone has fun with this. Cheers.

[redoogie]

I was JUST going to ask if we could start an exchange for the holidays so this is great. Im working on mine now.

[6are54]

Sounds fun. Hey, can we have a hallow's eve costume contest as well...please please please!:p

[Petersen]

David, you're stuff is always great, regardless the medium.

Thanks Mike. I'm just bummed that I had a good idea that was new and exciting to make as well as to share and I con't do it in time (perhaps if I start now I could be done by next exchange)

Sounds fun. Hey, can we have a hallow's eve costume contest as well...please please please!
Patrick aka 'petriacce' organizes this exchange himself. If you feel up to organizing and judging a costume contest I so go for it!!

[6are54]

yeah..well everyone could be the judge. ok, i'll think about it. :D

[Ta2grrl]

I'm in this year...missed it the last two and its time to get back on the horse...!! I may even have 2 pieces to donate... :D

Cheers,

Erin

[Cyber_Ghost]

Three weeks, i'll see if I can't get something done in time. :)

[J. Bastian]

I'm gunna do it, I've got a really cool HB commision I'm working on right now so it won't be to hard to work on another related piece at the same time, right?

[Celtic_Fiddler]

I think Celtic Fiddler did a quilt at some point didn't she? Was that for the art exchange?

I did and it was! Thank you for remembering! :)

I want to do something, but here it is already October 8 and I don't hve the time to start something - but I will try.

I've been away awhile because of work being busy and my computer dying on me. I promise, all I did was try to hotsynch my PalmPilot! The Blue Screen of Death appeared and I knew I was toast. Dear Husband just finally got the last of the software reinstalled. I lost all my Internet Favorites, such as the Haggis tossing that I had gotten from this board. (Don't ask, I don't remember how.... Helen?)

My computer just got fixed. And I have been working overtime at my job, doing extra volunteer work, yadda yadda I know, you've heard the story so many times before....

Andrea

[Otto66]

Nice ta read ya, C_F.:)

[lerochelle]

Too bad I missed the september deadline... Oh well, there's allways next year... :(

[Ta2grrl]

I think Celtic Fiddler did a quilt at some point didn't she? Was that for the art exchange?

She did and I have it...I think that was the first exchange...?? Lovely work...!!

:D

[JoshuaIzzo]

This sounds like a damn good time! Count me in.

Yours,
Joshua

[Myron L]

I emailed my two scans to you, petriacce. I may yet be able to do one or two more pieces...I will let you know !

[crossstreetartist]

after seeing petersen and Jbastian submit on previous years...and finally catching the thread in time...count me in.

[Myron L]

Just sent a third piece in...

[Maija]

Too bad I missed the september deadline... Oh well, there's allways next year... :(

:confused:

As far as I can see, the deadline to participate is to get a piece of art made and a scan of it to Patrick by October 31.

Patrick: you might want to correct the "2005" dates in the first post to "2006" though. :)

[patrick r]

Too bad I missed the september deadline... Oh well, there's allways next year... :(

Yep, that is a glaring typo. Thanks for catching it. I didn't notice until you posted Ruta, thanks. It is updated to reflect 2006 dates and the end of September for who is eligible.

[Jon D.]

I'll have to pass this year as I am physically unable to even sit up straight, next year i'll be able to make art.
can't wait to see everyones art tho! :)

[J. Bastian]

Okay, I'm done. Here's a little teaser, now keep in mind this teaser adds up to 1.25 X 2.25 inches big or something like that:D

.http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k279/JeremyBastian/Artexchangeteaser.jpg

[Petersen]

Wow,
after seeing one of the comissions you enlarge recently and now seeing this, I am liking how your linework translates when blown-up!!!


btw, I have seen the whole piece..it's very lovely!

[Mike Cross]

I'm almost done mine, but i'm notso good at non-blurry thiumbnail pics..

[Mike Cross]

Well, we'll try a thumbnail pic or at least my crappy variation of said aforementioned object..

[crossstreetartist]

I sent you an email with my submission a few days ago...did you get it?

[Myron L]

Petriacce...sent a fourth....cheers !

[patrick r]

Hello everyone. Sorry for the delayed responses. I've been out of town and am just now getting to non-work related emails. I have updated the participant list and sent response emails to everyone.

Pets.

[Mike Cross]

Psychofyre, you've really stepped up this year to deliver..looks great on ya. Having received his Liz art from last year, I know he does great work....let's go everyone, only a few days to go!

[Myron L]

Psychofyre, you've really stepped up this year to deliver..looks great on ya. Having received his Liz art from last year, I know he does great work....let's go everyone, only a few days to go!

Thanks...I have been in the "zone" lately and I love being able to share it out...I could even hit one or two more if the need arises...

Cheers !
-Myron (Psychofyre)

[Conundrum]

Finished 2. They were inspired by Petersen saying he liked my original stuff best. I did 2 pieces of Hellboy beset by creatures I created. I won't post them until the exchange is over. There is a blank gravestone in one pic that I will put my recipients name on when I find out.

Edit: I thought there was a mention of not posting pics before the deadline but I couldn't find it. What's the protocol, Patrick?

[Mike Cross]

I believe only snippets or thumbnail portions until after the creation deadline, then all's fair as Patrick will post all pics on the website he created.

[Petersen]

Beau,
how cool! can't wait to see what you came up with!

[lerochelle]

Would anyone have any problems with computer generated art? If I submit it, I would print it out for you and mail it or even email it if that is allowed.
Let me know! I've got a killer female Ichthio sapiens and a female hellboy (Teaser is avatar) that someone would probbably like to have.

Thanks,
Le Rochelle

Any type of art, as long as it can be sent is cool...I highly doubt anyone would mind and from the looks of your avatar, I bet they rock !

[Mike Cross]

4 Days until the deadline..that's like..what? 6 more Psychofyre pieces? Go Myron!

Everyone else..rock on and get them finished up..i'm quite eager to see the site when Petriacce has all pieces scanned and posted..

[Conundrum]

Patrick,

Did you get my email? I haven't seen anything back.

[Myron L]

I sent a fifth piece...I love this exchange and want it to succeed so we can keep it a tradition...this one is a sweet Liz pic and I am very proud of it. Not trying to hog the glory or anything...I like the giving part of the holidays and time has permitted me to get more accomplished this year....thanks to Patrick for putting the time and energy into coordinating !!!

[Ose]

Ugh, unfortunately I'm going to have to back out this year on the exchange fun. Time's running out, too much school-related stuff to deal with, and my wrist is acting wonky when I try inking.

Can't wait to see what everybody comes up with though! :)

[lerochelle]

Alright then, count me in for two more peices, I'll email you the pics PsychoFyre, then you can update.

BTW... got busy in photoshop and came up with two emoticons, if the emoticons qualify as "ART" I'll send one in as it is actually totally my own work. Of course it would have to be sent via email, but if no one has a prob with it then let me know.


Thanks,

Well...you COULD email me the pics ( I would gladly take them),BUT Petriacce is the manager of the exchange...you should email your scans to him (Petriacce@hotmail.com) and he will update the listing.

Glad you could make it !
;)

[Mike Cross]

Do the emoticons count? That i'm not sure as then we could all just send emailed copies of things to each other and not get to share in the actual joy of receiving a gift, which is the larger picture of the art exchange. I'm sure they are great and they took you a lot of time and effort, but I'm not for thinking that totally classifies, though i could be totally out in left field.

[Johann]

well, looks like i've been absent recently, busy with school. I may not be able to participate this year as it is only four days to the deadline, but i'll see what i can do.

I would really like to participate again. I'll even see if i can find the time to make a coulpe pieces... i'm feeling generous.

Again, thanks for petriacce for hosting this again.



-cheers!

Thanks,
Le RochelleYeah, I probably should have established some guidelines on the art for the exchange. Original digital works of art are acceptable is they are printed out and mailed. Emoticons aren't really something included in the intent of the exchange.

Did you get my email? I haven't seen anything back.Hey Beau, and the others that sent messages, I have updated the list tonight for those that are receive only or submitted art. If you just let me know you plan on participating, I got those too but I'll only update the list for a receive only or if you send art.

Thanks for your patience this year. I have been slammed from all sides in 2006.

Pets.

[lerochelle]

Alrighty then, no prob. Here you go guys! My second emoticon and animation... hope this comes out alright...

Have fun!;)

Thanks!

Le Rochelle

[evening]

I wish I could participate again this year, because it was a lot of fun, but just too much going on. Next time, I guess!:)

[Johann]

Alright Petriacce, i've sent you my submission and i'm looking forward to seeing all of the great pieces!

[patrick r]

Okay, there is just under an hour left for submissions. I have updated the participant list as of 23:03 31-10-2006 based on the e-mails I have received.

It will take me several days to get all of the submitted art up on the web site.

Thanks everyone and I'll check my e-mail in the morning to see if I have anyone submit in the last hour.

Cheers,
pets.

[Sparky]

Oh fooey, I wasn't able to get mine done on time...aagh, Halloween is a busy week around here. Well, I'll finish it in case somebody drops out and you need an extra. Or just send it to somebody as a very strange Secret Santa.

[Mike Cross]

Pat, my name is not on the list..just a heads up

[patrick r]

Patrick, my name is not on the list..just a heads upD'oh, fixed it. Thanks Mike.

[patrick r]

Oh yeah, the website is up. The list is on the first page and in my signature.

[E. Spears]

hah, missed out this year. i'll try again for the summer exchange ;)

[lerochelle]

Everything looks great guys! Job well done!

[jnapper]

Whao! Outstanding, guys!!! Man, some year I have to be on the ball and participate myself!

[Myron L]

LMAO....SkinnyMike...what did you do to Ruta ???????? Damn...a Ruta-kabob....

[Mike Cross]

Sniff..i am still hoping the Lobster Simpson can save that veggie prison..to be honest, adding the ruta was a last minute thing that just seemed to fit, given the circumstances..

I wanted to get some Hellboard references in there, like David P and Mouse Guard, but couldn't really come up with any that seemed right.

[Maija]

LMAO....SkinnyMike...what did you do to Ruta ???????? Damn...a Ruta-kabob....ACK! :eek:

Why I oughtta...! :evilangry

[Johann]

great job everybody, nice work(s)!

[redoogie]

wow .... Just wow ... Everyone did such a great job, im so dissapointed I didnt have the time to participate, but next year I guarantee ya ill be there.

Petersen and skinnymike those are awesome..

[jackups]

WOW, all those pieces are super nice well done everybody:D

[patrick r]

Hello Again,

Okay, I have sent out all of the email to the people who signed up to send art. Please let me know if you did not receive an email if you are scheduled to send art.

Please remember to get the art sent out by 15 November and if people would please post here when they receive their art I'd appreciate it.

Cheers,
Pets.

[parrish]

Thanks for all your hard work on this Petriacce, I'll mail mine out tomorrow or Thursday.

[jnapper]

Thanks for all your hard work on this Petriacce

I second that!

[Johann]

i'll send mine out sometime next week.

I'm curious (in the past this never seemed to be a problem) but should i write in screen names on the package so the recipient knows who its from?

[Maija]

Why not include a card?

Putting a username on the outside of the package could create confusion for the mail sorter or suspicion if it's going through customs. Not that the contents would be worthy of that suspicion, but it could delay it, times being as they are.

[Celtic_Fiddler]

Just perused the art. You guys are all soooo freakin' amazing. It makes me want to create a quilt out of all those images.

Andrea

[D'ohboy]

...of course we live in the same state...

Conundrum's exchange piece plus some cool cards arrived this afternoon.

Thanks again to Beau, all of this year's participants, and Petriacce!

Happy Holidays everyone!

[Gene Poonyo]

Mine went out today. Hope it reaches its destination swiftly and safely.:)

[Mike Cross]

Mine should be mailed out on Wednesday at the latest..packaged up today and ready for postage..

[Johann]

yeah, i too may not be able to get to the post office tomorrow, so i hope its ok for the package to be sent past the deadline of nov. 15th

[Myron L]

D'Oh Boy...what an AWESOME piece I received today...thanks so much !!! The mirror was a great idea !!! The envelope label was kool ,too !
Thanks again !

[lerochelle]

Just sent out mine today... some may take longer than others... your kinda far away... hehe

[lerochelle]

Absolutely awesome Conundrum! Just opened it and love the extra cards too!
Was that watercolors or watered ink you used for the background?
Great piece!

Thanks!

[JoshuaIzzo]

I just sent mine out FedEx today - the art should arrive tomorrow. Woo Hoo! This was a ton of fun, thanks so much for letting me play!

Yours,
Joshua Izzo

[Petersen]

Sent.


now I will sit by the mailbox

[Conundrum]

Glad you like it, lerochelle!

The background and the "Shriek" were watercolors and HB was colored with Prismacolor markers. Glad you liked the cards too! They are all original creations!

[D'ohboy]

D'Oh Boy...what an AWESOME piece I received today...thanks so much !!! The mirror was a great idea !!! The envelope label was kool ,too !
Thanks again !


Glad it arrived safely.
I wanted to do something with the animated Hb and thought some kind of mirror concept with the "Mignola" Hb might be cool.
I owe a lot of the idea to my wife. She's the one that dug up the Girl Before Mirror painting by Picasso that I based my idea on.

Thus, Boy Before Mirror was born.:rolleyes:

[Mike Cross]

Package mailed and this year, it goes with tracking number ...

[Nick W]

Josh, It safely arrived today. Thank you so much for the awesome piece! :)

[Conundrum]

Petersen-

The piece arrived safely and it is AWESOME! Thank you.

[Myron L]

Since I ended up having three people to share my five submissions, I added a sixth SUPER SECRET piece to make it an even six...each of my three recipients will now get two pieces...they are on their way today ( I know, a day late) two by land and one by air...hope you all enjoy !

Since I forgot to enclose a card in them, look for Lauzon on the outside and you will know its from me !!

[Petersen]

Petersen-

The piece arrived safely and it is AWESOME! Thank you.

Beau,
I felt bad about not making a new contribution so I'm glad you like it.
Happy Holidays!!

(btw, did you ever do more with your odd rouge's gallery that included 'the twins', 'the quail', etc....? I found the images on my hard drive the other night. I saved it because I thought they character ideas, designs, and layout of the image was too clever.)

[crossstreetartist]

I got my gift today. Thanks Gene Poonyo! It looks awsome!

[crossstreetartist]

Not that anyone really cares, but I thought I should show the inspiration for my exchange piece. My piece is based on a Santa ad for CocaCola by Sundblom.

[Petersen]

Lerochelle's piece arrived in the mail. Thank you Lerochelle!

(I got the female abe on what looks like a canvas trasfer)

[Johann]

oh yeah, i sent mine out wednesday. Look for a package from a Jesse in NY.

[THE REAL kirk]

Well..after a particularly suckass week at work (which, sadly, is not yet finished) I managed to make shift some packaging and get my piece into the mail. Should arrive by Wednesday latest.

But, silver lining and all that, I came home to find an envelope in my mailbox from lerochelle. What a great piece! It captures the emotion of that shot in the movie wonderfully. Thanks so much, le rochelle!

[lerochelle]

Just a canvas photo paper. Stick it in the printer. It prints.

Glad you like it Peterson!

Great news Kirk! Used the movie on pause for the style. Got something new like it up on my deviant page.
Hope your week gets better!

[mrc1214]

Thanks to whoever sent me mine it was from NY. The art was great and im going to be sending you some books back. Thanks again.

[parrish]

[Myron L]

As well as the other one. Well anyway thanks again and if you want ill send you a list of comics I was going to send you so you can pick which ones you really want or may have. Thanks again Myron.

As far as the photos you sent me the one saying BPRD wants you. Now I am fairly new to Hellboy and have read the 1st three trades so I dont want to be wrong but its Kate right? As well as the other one. Well anyway thanks again and if you want ill send you a list of comics I was going to send you so you can pick which ones you really want or may have. Thanks again Myron.

PsychoFyre —

So on Saturday, my wife throws me a surprise 30th birthday party. I almost keel over I'm so happy. I am opening my gifts from friends and family and there is a padded envelope on the table with a name on it that is unfamiliar.

I rip it open (carefully) and pull out two gorgeous illustrations! The HB St. Nick and the Nymph are ASTOUNDING! Thanks so much, and I love them!

This exchange was a great idea, and I'm so happy I participated!

Thanks again!

Joshua

Actually, it is printed out from the original.... sorry I couldnt send it... the original is 2.5 feet tall! didnt want to roll it either...sorry. at least this one you could find an inexpensive frame for it. :D

[jnapper]

You guys are all so talented-- I love looking at all the cool art!

Patrick, thank you a million times over for running the Exchange.

[redoogie]

Hey Lobster Johnson, thanks so much your piece arrived today and I love it. Unfortunately though, the UPS guys punched a hole straight through the packing and the picture about 3 inches wide in the middle :(

But again thank you, its really a great piece.

The punched a hole in it?! :evilangry

How bad is the damage?!?!?

Sorry about that, I even put it in a frame to protect it! That ticks me off.

[Gene Poonyo]

I got my gift today. Thanks Gene Poonyo! It looks awsome!

I am glad to hear that it arrived safely. Happy Holidays!!!

[Gene Poonyo]

Ho, ho, ho, what do you know?

Received my gift exchange today, and guess whom it was from...
None other than 'crossstreetartist', my exchange recepient. What are the odds, eh?

Thanks, 'crossstreetartist', it reflects the season real well.

Was able to size the image to its limited size. Does not do the original justice though.

petriacce has kindly updated my gift exchange image. In the previous one I was missing some essential elements, like, the tails.

Thanks again, petriacce, for doing this for me and for orginizing this whole gift exchange.

It's pretty bad, the tear is at least 3 inches wide right through the middle. I could tell something was wrong right when they delivered it because of the outside packaging looking already torn through.

But regardless of the lazy UPS guys, the picture is fantastic and I wanted to thank ya one more time.

[Johann]

Many thanks must go to Jermey Bastian. Again, he has managed to create another absolutely beatiful piece.

luck of the draw, I recieved his piece last year.

anyway... just stunning detail.

[J. Bastian]

I thought you got the last one, Ha! Pretty soon you'll have your own Jab gallery. A big thank you to Mr. the Real Kirk. I recieved your piece (actually awhile ago), sorry it took so long to post but you know the holidays. It looks great, I love cool borders.

:) Happy Exchange everyone!!:)

[THE REAL kirk]

WHEW!

Glad you got the piece, was afraid it faired even worse than LJFC's art that got the lawndart target treatment during transit.

Enjoy!

[Johann]

I thought you got the last one, Ha! Pretty soon you'll have your own Jab gallery.

yeah, i've got them in matching frames across from each other on my wall. very beautiful.

makes my happy just looking at them.

many thanks to you, petriacce and everyone who participated this year.
CHEERS!!

[lerochelle]

Lerochelle's piece arrived in the mail. Thank you Lerochelle!

(I got the female abe on what looks like a canvas trasfer)


There is a story behind the pic...

I remember seeing a picture of when they found Abe in St Trinian's, and there being another tank next to him, broken and empty. So I am writing a story about what was in the other tank.

Here's the summary...

Abe is sent to the medditerannian to look into sailor's reports of snakes writhing in the water all the way to mermaids. Thier fishing nets have been cut open repeatedly, and the catch lost.

Abe dives down and after a shark chases him below the light line, he finds himself in total darkness. Sensing a presence behind him, he turns to see this...

[Mike Cross]

God, i spent 2 hours tonight working on this year's art exchange piece and it's coming along beautifully...

[E. Spears]

Is there going to be an exchange this year? If so, I'm (probably) in.

[Mike Cross]

I'm sure there will be a Christmas one, and that's what this is in anticipation of, hence the nerdity

[E. Spears]

I don't know if I'd call making some art in the anticipation of exchanging it with someone else nerditity, sounds more like being pumped about trading art. ;)

I'm gonna try to get in on it this year, I don't think I was part of it last year (was I? I can't remember). It's always a good time, for sure.

[blacklist-da]

I'll get in on this if it happens this year.

[jackups]

Yeah Im totally in, Im gonna try ands end out this year as well.

[gdeo]

for the first time i'm "in" too:D

[parrish]

This'll be my second year for it. I've got a couple ideas already.

One requires using a saw, so if I suddenly stop posting it means I killed myself trying to make the exchange gift.

Bump to keep thread from auto-glean.
