If I win anything it’ll be a gift for my equally chicken crazy mother-in-law. I’m allergic to the jewelry hehe, shh.

LOL

I will try though...I will probably give it to my equally chicken-crazy mother. I just wonder if they allow computer art as well. Such as full colored illustrations done with a Wacom Tablet?

Yep, as long as it’s not just edited photography. I used to draw with a Wacom but I fell in love with traditional.

I know, nothing beats the pen and paper. I have the paper edition of the Wacom so I can draw with a pen and paper over the board and the board picks up my pen strokes and sends them to my screen.

That’s pretty neat. I can’t afford a good tablet right now but maybe later for graphic design jobs.

They are expensive! I do cartoon comic drawing and am going to try chicken art LOL.

Alright, here’s my boy. If it looks flaky it’s because it is. I used ballpoint pen and a $2 watercolor set as an experiment and they put up a fight, not doing that again lol. 9x9 inch on Bristol board. (before and after color, not sure which I prefer)
