Welcome each of thee, tis a odd month in what passes for the real world. Goodness, things are upside down.
Speaking of which this month the consensus was to go under the sea. Plenty of sights to see ...
Fish, strange creatures, or maybe merfolk ... or how about a touch of adventuring? There is a shipwreck lying deep below, just full of treasure or is there something more sinister hidden with the wrecked hull?

Bottom line your pics are to be of what you imagine to be going on beneath the sea. Matters not where thy imagination takes thee, but it must be from beneath the sea.

Welcome all it is the turn of the next page of the calendar and the beginning of a new month. Most people think of the month of the Alturiak (February) as a month of love, companionship and romance. However we have a different idea in here ...

That being said, this month, you are a time traveller and now is your chance to go backwards in time or forwards in time, or even dare I say it sideways in time and witness any event in history.

Although if you go forwards in time that is a whole different story. What did you see and does the band "Ultravox" stay together or did they break up?

So anywhere you want to go, any time, any place, where do you want to go?

As a time traveller, you should let your imagination unfold with visions from the any past or distant future, and depict scenes of what thou has seen or places you want to go.

It is time for a new contest theme and what do we have but those mischievous dark fairies for your rendering delight.

Now fairies come in all shapes and sizes so don't automatically think they must be diminutive, on the other hand the things that they can get into well, can be quite exhausting.

Now there were a couple runner up themes that came quite close to making it and please feel free to incorporate them if you can, such as "The Year of the Rat" and there was something about red hair and green eyes, which certainly spells trouble in any language.

So be creative and let thy imagination run wild, however there must be a "dark fairy" in your picture.

Welcome to a new month full of new wonders, hope and dreams. Yes, it is true the outside world has gone into crazy mode. However that doesn't mean that here in the Attic that one cannot continue to enjoy the camaraderie of each other and share stories and art.

Yes, the pirates and freebooters are out and in full force. They roam the high seas, or the open skies or maybe even the verdant forest, fields and open plains.

In the past or from the future, pirates male or female of all races, or even species have left their mark in history, even alternative histories are far from safe when they roam.

Sometimes they do good, sometimes ... well ... never-mind.

We all look forward to seeing pics of your pirates and freebooters doing what they do best, so no matter what type of setting you choose or point in time such as traditional, steam/cyber-punk, sci-fi ~ it's all up to you.
