Ok, so Winter Solstice (Dec. 21st) will be my one year anniversary as a stock artist, as well as a sabbat for me. So, I got to thinking... Maybe I should have a contest!!! Sooo... In the spirit of stock and Yule, I'm having a "Yule Love Mah Purdy Peekchur!" contest :giggle:

The idea here is to make some arts that has to do with Yule/Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza/Solstice, or just plain ol' December - or the passing of a year! I won't pigeon hole you into portraying a holiday you don't celebrate, but I do expect you to use at least one piece of my stock in the picture. So, the main rule is: Use some of my stock, you can use other stock as well, but you must use at least one piece of my stock. The other rule is: Make it Decembery (and for you Aussies, that could mean summery), or express the passing of a year. Any medium is ok, as long as it exhibits use of my stock in some way that's clear. Not too difficult. Oh, ok, wait... make sure you link back to this contest in your deviation description! :lol: The contest will run from now until the Solstice (Dec. 21st) at 11:59 PM PST.

If there's ever been anyone on dA who's story made me dig down deep into my empty pockets and find something to donate, it is :icongloryangel:.

Please, please read her story in this news article and help in any way you can. If you can't donate money, then at least pass the article on to others and help spread the word. Please :+fav: it, too, so more people will see it. :pray:

We're about $500 away from getting Sara the technology she needs! Please donate! You'd be giving her a chance to socialize and create art again. I can't think of anything more important in life than having something to live for! Please help Sara.

So, I've gotten pretty backed up in my message center, lately. I'm so pressed for time with theneed to pack and ship our stuff off in preparation of our move, plus I have ideas and artworks to do! :icongrinbanjoplz: Sooo... I probably won't be making many emoticons for awhile and I might be fairly scarce. You can always find me on dAmn, though. I am a bonafide chat addict, so look for me there. Here's some chats I tend to hang out in, just click to chat:

:#DigitalMedia: :#ARStock: :#Resources: communityrelations :#DarkSideCookies: :#Snakepit: :#dAPagna: :#dAFoodies: vexelove :#FailCorner:

There's other rooms that I pop into here and there, but if I'm in chat, I'm in these, for sure. It should be enough! Make sure and highlight me (say Helen-Baq, or Baq-Stock if I'm on my stock account - usually I'm not) and give me some time for my brain to realize something's going on so I can respond! :giggle:
