Last summer I got excited about the idea of showcasing snake drawings to go along with Mamba Point<\/em>, which is all about a boy who draws snakes, so I set up a gallery and invited people to send in their snake drawings. In fact, I still am excited about it, but even with the temptation of prizes I haven’t gotten many drawings that I didn’t bully my friends and family into drawing. So I’ve decided to bring more attention to the gallery by bringing those snakes home. While before they were off in their own corner of KurtisScaletta.com (they made the other blog posts nervous), they are now right here in the main HQ. You can find them under “Mamba Point Extras” on the right sidebar, under “Extras” at the top, or uh, click here<\/a>. You can still also go to http:\/\/kurtisscaletta.com\/snakes<\/a>, but you’ll get sent to the new gallery. <\/p>\n

I promised prizes, and they still stand, but I’m moving the deadline way back to October 1, so people who read the book and are overcome with the desire to sketch a serpent can participate. I’ll do two a month (or so) and pace it out. One prize per month will be random, for all the folks who’ve participated so far, and one prize per month will be for a really outstanding snake drawing that I’ve received. All previous entrants will also be eligible for that, too. The prizes will be books, toy snakes, Liberian flags, and other things I might find and throw in. <\/p>\n

So: please send me a snake drawing<\/a> if you haven’t yet.<\/p>\n

I will also regularly be featuring a new or previous snake to remind people of the gallery. Here’s one my cat Pippi. (I think my wife helped.)<\/p>\n
