October's Nibblefest Theme: 'FANTASY'....


 
“I like nonsense, 
it wakes up the brain cells. 
Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.”

~Dr. Seuss



"Rat on Halloween" by Nibblefest artist, Kathy Clemente....


Banal.  Humdrum.  Such is the stuff of Life sometimes, in those moments when we find ourselves becoming increasingly mired in the mundanity of our day-to-day. Societal obligations of work, mortgages, budgets or bills can have a way of threatening to swamp our creative spirits, therefore it's a happy thing indeed we all have at least one guaranteed effective escape -- the power of our own minds.   With a little help from our imaginations, and a wee bit of vision, a small retreat from the tedium of the "same old, same old" can become something affordable and possible for all.  A good fantasy transports us away from the weary worries of our modern world, if only for a little while (and if only in our heads).....:


"Lazy Days of Summer" (colored pencil), by Nibblefest artist Sue Taylor Perez....


Highly subjective and personal, the realm of the fantastical can truly mean vastly different strokes, to different folks.....: 


"Eyeballs McGillicuddy" by Nibblefest artist Vicky Knowles....


"Rainbow Pinwheel" by Nibblefest artist, Tammy Gulat....


"Harvest Moon" by Nibblefest artist, Art of Patience....


So whether your own take on 'Fantasy' involves magical creatures in imaginary lands, classic swashbucklers, epic mythological journeys, or touchingly apocalyptic, urban Zombie dystopian romances, please consider joining us for this month's Nibblefest Art Contest, when, starting on October 20th, artists near and far will assemble via Ebay to explore and present their own unique interpretations of the fascinating, and fascinatingly diverse, theme of...

"Fantasy"!
