.. to win some Lowlands festival tickets. I edited my animation film a little and added some decent end-credits (with some sound effects!) so that people (who know Lowlands) would recognise the film tent (called Echo). Because so far, no-one did!
Took me all weekend and most of today, but I just entered the contest for this week!
Not sure how many more weeks I can enter, but I emailed the producer of the radioshow to ask her and she is trying to figure it out herself now :-D
You can see the edited version here (if you want):

Translation:
- So these are the cartoon weeks in the library?
- yup
- I can't really tell yet
- you can't?
- no, can you?
- well...

No tickets...... :-(
They waited till 21.30 to call somebody else. But I didn't know till after ten since I was at work and my friends were probably afraid to text me in case I thought it was the radio show. But then none of them were available to console me after the show because they were probably all in bed by then. (Or my phone just acted up again and didn't receive any text messages that were sent.)
I still think it is really low that they send those emails to people who didn't win, leaving you a complete nervous wreck for 24 hours and then just totally devastated.
Very mean. I have a couple more chances to enter, although it is unclear how many, because one part of the Lowlands site says: 15 weekly rounds, the radio website says 14 weekly rounds and the competition page itself says till June 1st, even though week 11 only just started today and June 1st is in 4 days from now.
The Lowlands site also says you get an email when you win telling you how to collect your prize. Nothing about having to go live on radio. And nowhere does it state if going on the radio is compulsory to win the tickets. It's the most unclear competition I have ever entered, but I also cannot find an email address or a webpage with all the competition rules.
But if I enter again and they sent me another email asking me phone number and telling me to be available I'll just ignore it or tell them I am not available.. or too sick to answer the phone or something. Because I don't have the nerves to go through this again. I just have the creative talent. If that is not enough, they should have stated so on the website somewhere.

Radioshow on Thursday night... aaaarch
If you have time to listen to Dutch radioshow 'Met Michiel' on 3FM from 19.00 till 22.00 than you may hear how they are calling me to tell me I won the tickets for Lowlands with my animation film.
You know why I think that may happen? Because I got an email tonight requesting my phonenumber so they could call me live on air, in case I won...
AAAAAAAAARCH!!!!
I don't want to be in a radioshow! I just want to win the tickets! Besides I have a shift at the art house tomorrow, so I may not even hear the phone over the noise of the film projectors...
AAAARCH, I am going to make a total idiot of myself, I just know it... I am going to be trembling all night and won't be able to adjust the focus on ANY of the films.
And if they end up NOT calling me, I am going to be relieved at first but also SO dissappointed!!! AAAAAAARCH!!!

Dutch Cartoon 1
And here is one of the cartoons I did for the 'cartoon weeks' my local library is organising for next month. I have more, but I will post them gradually so there is new stuff up here more regularly.
And now I am off to a local music festival with my drawing map and camping chair, so I can sit in the shade and do more cartooning while I listen to live music :-)

My First Animation Film...
..had to be finished before Sunday at midnight. And it's 23.19 now, so I made it!
I made this film in an effort to win some tickets to the Lowlands Festival. So this is about 'how much music/Lowlands means to me', or something silly like that.
So here it is, My First Animation - the main reason you had to wait for new pages this week. I hope you like it (click twice to open the YouTube site for a bigger version):
(Oh and in case you are wondering, the biggest stage-tents at the festival are blue-yellow striped, violet-blue striped and red...and the filmtent is decorated with lots of eye-balls.)
And here are two photo's I took of the set I built in my study:

2 pages a week?
So, if I would post two pages a week you guys would still come and comment? In that case...
I will try and post a page on every Wednesday and Sunday. (So, knowing me, come back to check on Thursdays and Mondays :-D)
Is that a good idea?
I may even post more because I have found a good deadline for myself. I want to give it to someone as a farewell present. It's not a set date yet, but they will probably leave somewhere in summer. So I am both creating new pages and editing the old ones (especially the ones I did in November still need a bunch of editing!)

Now what....?
So I did my mini-NaNo of 25 pages last month, but the story is still not done. (I am not surprised)
I want to go on, but not in the same pace, because that was a little high. But not in a pace that is too low, because than I'll just lose momentum again.
So what would be a good frequency of pages to post, so that you guys wont lose interest or forget to watch?
And any NaNo veterans here that might have some advice on what might be a manageable frequency for me to make them in? I never actually finished a NaNo after November before, so this is all new for me (as a 7 year NaNo veteran! :-D)
