Yes, maybe once things are thawed out here at Château Possum, we can dig a big ol' pit and have a mammoth roast. Or would that be a roast of mammoth proportions?

No, it's because I ate them all. Nothing like a rack of mammoth ribs on the grill with some honey barbecue sauce ! Ah, that would be awesome ! Grilling season is just around the corner.

I think it turned out to be outstanding ! Great job ! Am I being a bad influence on people? I really hope so ! I try really hard. OK the poll is up ! Really some awesome entries ! It's going to be hard to choose just three. Really, this is one of the best group of entries ever !!!! Thanks so much to everyone who entered. Make sure you remind all your friends on here to vote. Let's see if we can get the most votes ever. Thanks again !

Entry period is now closed ! Thanks to everyone who entered. The poll will be up shortly. Make sure you remind everyone to vote !!!!

I agree, this is a great bunch ! This has been the coldest and snowiest/iciest winter since I was a kid. And that's a long long time. Back when I was a kid, we used to throw snowballs at the Woolly Mammoths and saber toothed tigers.

Could you redo it at a larger size? If not, I'll give you a one time exception. I don't think anyone will mind. It's all about the art anyway.

Entries have been posted ! Sorry for the delay. Winter happens.

It was really hard to choose which ones to vote for because they are all so great. What fun ! I also think it's more exciting when there are this many entries, but when they are all this good it really makes it special.

I'll get the next round up as soon as I can. We are in the middle of a severe ice storm and might lose power and or internet.

The two new WIPs. I'm really liking the black one. Can't wait to see the final.

I looked through your abstracts (1st hidden section) again. Those are so beautiful. I was just thinking that they would make a beautiful calendar or screensaver. Very very nice work, I'm really diggin your stuff.

I really enjoyed seeing your art back on here Helen ! Being a bird loving person, this one caught my eye. http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc39/hlnl56/falcon2aa.png That is so fantastic ! Did you make this as a logo for someone? It's so professional !
