Since my muse is still somewhere lost in the void, has drinks on a sunny beach or whatever, I decided to get into gear (art-wise) with a little challenge!
C'mon all ye guys and girls... this is an art site... let's produce some art, inspire and get inspired!!! What do you say?
HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE!!!!
This is my idea...
We create Halloween postcards and send them to other participants to spread the art. No big prices, no *winners*, for all participants will be winners.
How does it work?
Create a Halloween postcard. Depict your favourite character on a pumpkin, write a poem and arrange it nicely, draw an abstract bat... whatever... only rule is... a pumpkin has to be included in what way ever. When the challenge is over, you send your postcard to another participant (I will choose via a random method) to spread the art all over the world. You can send a traditional card or print out whatever you did digitally. Mind the size though! (DinA6, 105mm x 148mm, roughly 5 inches x 7 inches)
The challenge runs until Halloween, 31st of October, (surprise, surprise) and I will feature all works on my main page. On Halloween, I will note each participant with the name of the other participant he or she is to send the postcard to. You can then contact said participant to exchange adresses, whatever.
Who can participate?
EVERYBODY!
This is about having fun and spreading art!
IMPORTANT
Every participant HAS to send his/her PHYSICAL postcard, no exceptions. In return you will receive art from another artist, that is only fair. Of course you can load up a copy/scan of your work here or elsewhere too Even if the card is a copy/scan of your digital work, it has written text on it, a stamp, is tangible... that is part of the fun!
So only those who agree to send a REAL postcard (or a letter as that) should participate, please!
Tell me, when you want to join! So I can put your icon here and advert you!
I know that the cards will arrive at the participants much later than Halloween, but since shipping can take a loooong time internationally, I preferred a longer challenge time over ending the challenge in the middle of october.

THANK YOU!
A big thank you to all who favourite my works or started to follow me! The support means a lot and I am really happy about it, it makes my day. I got so many notifications, I will not answer them each, please bear with me. Know, that I see all the favourites and watches and appreciate every single one of them, but answering them all, is just too overwhelming at the moment. So take this as a HUGE THANK YOU to all who looked at my art, favourited something or added me to their watchlist. Have a marvellous day!!!
Not the best news
So I got my notice of termination today. Yay. First day after hospital and sickleave that was a not so nice welcome. A good birthday gift, isn't it? I will turn 55 in two weeks and my chance of getting a new job are not the best. Sarcasm off. Yeah. It seems I did not fulfil the expectations. Of whom I wonder. I got three versions of the 'why'. Each separate of the others. One from my accountant collegue, one from the collegue I am supposed to support (and why I was hired in the first place) and one from my boss. You know what? I don't get people. I just don't understand them. You look them in the face and behind lies a bottomless pit. Forgive me, when I am not going into detail. Let's say I have the dull feeling I am not 'functioning' in the way my accountant collegue would like me to and my guess is, he influenced the boss because he wants (maybe needs) help in his department. Whereas I said right from the bat, in the first job interview, that I am no good with numbers, that I have
Back home from hospital
Just a short note. I am home, I am healing well, all went good. I am revieved and got two weeks sick leave. Thanks for all your thoughts and nice words! Go out, create, have a good day and enjoy your life! ^.^

Silly question;I know people can send scans of their digital art but does that go for traditional art too?
