Hello gang! I have a few bits of news to hit you up with that are VERY important and then you can get to the features! First news is I am sick! Sick as a dog. Handling the club and my shop that is closing is very tough for me, plus I have the holidays, as many of you do.

No, the club is not closing and you can still submit work but I will not be updating the journal this friday. I really need to rest.

Speaking of the club, did you know that from now until dec. 25 if you donate a sub you get one too!!! We still have a month left but hey I thought I would toss that out there in case people are going to renewing you can think of your favorite club!

Also since I am feeling so ill I am going to hold off announcing the new club contest and its details.

And now to the wonderful features. Sorry I am late with them. Please forgive me.

Judging for the Fire and Ice contest will be started today. Judges are not to ask eachother any questions about the art work. They will recieve their instructions for voting today. I stated that the winner would be announced on the 20th but if the judges get their votes in early then the winners will be announced early and given their wonderful prizes!

Judges for the contest are and


What judges are going to be looking for is the use of both
elements in the art work and execution. Good Luck to everyone that entered.

ok CSS smarty pants now its your turn! The contest for January is to design a new club journal!! The winner's journal will be used for a full year with your credits at the bottom! The details of this contest will be annouced after the Fire and Ice winners are posted.
