@fpichel I realize this is late, but I only joined SVS after hearing the podcast about the contest Thursday. I made this illustration yesterday, but wasn't able to post it to the forum last night because I wasn't sent an email confirmation email until this morning. 
Anyway - great work everyone. Exciting to see so many excellent solutions. Thanks!
@carrieannebrown this is excellent - great type design too.
I had a really bad time trying to understand how this forum works but I'm happy to be with you all. Here's my entry, if it's accepted 
.
@Gaelle-Grizzly I really enjoy your character designs, especially the scarecrow! The color and light in this piece is really effective.
@aprilshin Aww thank you!! 
@Johanna-Kim you've included so much in this design! Could keep looking at and seeing new things each time. Well done, it's amazing 
@Coley Thanks so much:)
Here is my submission for the July contest.
Great job everyone!
@ajillustrates Thank you so much! It makes it a bit less Wizard of Oz, but I had fun experimenting with it.
@aprilshin this is incredibly beautiful
@carrieannebrown Thanks so much:)
@Marta-Kitka very good! Love the tornado and witch hat combined. Really creative!
I had a really tough time getting my login to work, I've been working on it since last night. Thanks for the fun assignment!

@cathy-spee - love this unusual style, it’s beautifully put together and so original.
@Alicia-S Thanks Chip for your tech help!
@Ryan-Ehr - this would be a perfect book cover for this story. The zig-zag design is fantastic as it takes your eyes down through all the characters. Awesome.
@ina thx Yeah that's true with a lot of these older stories. I remember reading the original thinking how dark it really was hah.
Sorry for my lack of attention this month... I am in the process of selling my house and buying a new one 
Anyway if anyone had issues posting this month please let me know. You can email me at cvalecek@gmail.com. We hit our limit of emails being sent from the forums which may have caused a delay in people getting their account validated. I will start to pull all the submissions and get the slideshow up and running by tomorrow!
@Chip-Valecek Congratulations on both your sale and purchase of a new home!
