One of the websites I've been watching the longest (20 years or so) announced a contest this morning. What they're looking for is designs for a new series of woodblock prints that involve cats and a list of eight depictions that are traditional in ukiyo-e. One of them is night rain, and since I did an image of Tamino in the rain recently, this seemed kind of perfect. So far, all one has to do is submit a rough sketch which I've done. Then I inked it, because. That's what's here. I won't win, but I might have a chance to have my work seen. And it's a sign that I haven't given up, which is important to some people, including me.
