Well, it's summer in Scotland. Anywhere else that would be classed as winter. But hey, we do get some scorchin' days. So what do we do to stay cool? You'd be surprised!

This cartoon is called, 'Cool Bag'.

Thanks BogStandad, I don't paint much at the moment, but I like these competitions. The subjects give me something to go on. Thanks for your comments also... my wife says I'm too political sometimes and people won't like that. And Sue, you're so right. Some of the best entries I've seen in a Foundmy...

Last year was political darkness for me. Continued austerity. Continued greed. The continued rise of the right wing. Brexit, Trump. But there is light out there, and we'll see it shine this year.

Anyway, enough of the heavy political stuff.

Happy new year everybody!

Great competition. Great entries and great winners. Can't wait to see what's up next.
Congrats to all.

Yep, as I said before, 'fantastic interpretations of the subject "Bacteria". Every entry is brilliant. Good luck to all. It's going to be a tough call.

Brilliant work everybody! This is what I love about these competitions... you just don't know what you're going to get regarding the interpretation of the subject. Excellent stuff.

Love it Mshellee - great work.

Having them posing as a family is brilliant.. but hey why can't bacteria have families?

Cheers Bloodjelly and come on Mshelee get involved in the fun.

Oops, always remember to attach your picture.

Firstly, good luck everyone with your entries.
Secondly... what a great subject for the competition - love it.

This is my entry. It's called, 'The Bacteriaettes', They're the number one group in the Bacteria world. They're singing their number one single, 'I'm stuck on you babe'.
