HOLIDAY ART CHALLENGE WITH PRIZE DRAWING!
Several artists mentioned that many of the fic exchange prompts could easily serve as inspiration for art. So, artists, here's your chance! As previously promised, this is the free-for-all. No claiming and no rules other than keeping things within the spirit of the comm and crediting the prompter, obviously. Multiple interpretations of the same prompt are absolutely fine, that's why there's no claiming involved. Art can be posted at any time from now until December 31.
I have scooped up all of the holiday themed prompts that weren't already being used in the exchange (let me know if I missed any/screwed up). All artists can feel free to illustrate as many of these prompts as they wish in any way that they wish. You can do your art via photo manips, pencil, crayon, paint.... Heck, you can even knit something as long as you can take a picture of it and share it with the comm.
Here's the fun part. Do you see those lovely calendars up there? All artists who participate will be entered into a drawing. The winner will get the one of their choosing. So, to help me out, please use the tag 'holiday art challenge' when posting your entries. Don't worry writers, you'll get a crack at a pretty calendar too.

Wee!chesters- Young Dean (10-ish) not jaded by their upbringing yet, tells his little brother all that he remembers about the holiday season (Thanksgiving thru New Year’s) with their mother. His memories have the cloudiness of a little boy, but maybe he remembers stuff like her throwing a snowball at him as they played in the snow waiting for John to come home. How the house smelled when she baked cookies. How he used a step stool to hang the tiny stocking that she had knit for his unborn sibling. Just a beautiful remembrance to share with his brother since he has no memories of her. prompter: stella_lost
