We are kicking off the year Twenty Ten with an artist who does "mysterious" things and makes very pretty images. I am referring to the world of fractals. Please greet your next artist to be spotlighted...tealeaves known around this town as Lori! Take some time to investigate her fractals in the colorful gallery she maintains as well as read her biography below!

I think that we have had a good run of contests using the new system, so I have temporarily halted new contests so that we can reflect on any changes we may want to make. I've create a poll for this purpose. I'll take into consideration any suggestions made in the poll and will implement the changes and start a new round of contests in about one month. If you do have a good suggestion, please add it to the poll instead of putting it in this discussion. Thanks.

Our final artist to be spotlighted in 2009 comes near the end of the alphabet and loves the color blue. I give to you our own verenabloo known around these parts as "V" or Verena. Take a minute out of your day and visit her varied gallery and browse a bit!

We have five beautiful 2010 calendars available! They are going to be printed by DeviantArt through their art print service. The calendars: Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, Volume 4, and Volume 5. Congratulations to all the featured artists, and thanks for letting us get these published on such a short timeline.

This is a call for images for the 2010 calendar. I hope to have the calendar ready for sale before December, so we need to get going on this project. Here is a page which has more details and a form to use to submit your image nominations. I'm really looking forward to giving these out this year as gifts, so if you've ever wanted your work in print or you want to show off your work to the family every single day of the year get your images nominated ASAP.
