A test run.

I will now post one of my paintings on here...

 I am an avid lover of cats...
Siamese mostly.

I got this out of a book of cats, and the cat in the book looked far better than this.

 I also had trouble with the background for the picture.





At first I was going to put a blue background, but I had the trouble of it being too dark,
so I had to go with pink.

Another living nightmare was getting  the cat in the picture
without smudging the paint into the cat.

So that's how it turned out, looking the way I wanted it look.

 Hopefully there'll be more pictures coming.

Meanwhile, back at the base...

Now that I need to wait until next year to enter into the photography contest, I can start showing something else... I don't know what I'll be able to show yet, it's all in what is acceptable to show to the public.

Some of them might possibly be comic strips, or they could be just pencil sketches, they even could be diagrams, but that's very unlikely.

 Anyways, all that matters is, is that things are up and running again, there'll be new things to see, and lots more photos!

 This is the Squid Kid signing off...

Photography contest!

Well,
the verdicts are in, and I'm out...

I was rather disappointed when my pictures didn't "get the dough"

But I soon found out that it was because the camera was old, and took rather low quality pictures, so that was a relief.

Because the pictures weren't judged on how artistic the composition is
Not only did I lose, I also lost a dog, but it didn't really hit me as much as it used to.

When my dad told me that someone I knew had died, for one sickening moment, I thought my great grandfather had died. That would've been really sad.

 So that's how my week has been.

But the bright side of my troubles are, we had brought in a stray before my dog was killed, AND I'm getting a new camera!

So better luck for me next year...

I can't wait!
