Well, since David is still AWOL as far as I can tell, and I know we all want to have challenges (we do, right? ) I'd like to do something at the beginning of November.

However, it seems *I'll* be the one providing prizes and unfortunately, I'm not exactly in a position to put out lots of dough.

So, I still have a handful of my first book The Game Artist's Guide to Maya, and a box or so of my second book, The Game Animator's Guide to Maya.

If there are no objections, I'm thinking a game art challenge with signed copies of my books up for grabs? Eh? Whatcha think?

Maybe in another few months, I could spring for a signed copy of the game my studio just finished? Signed by everyone I can get to sign it here at the office. That'd be pretty nifty, don'tcha think?

Let me know if this seems like a good plan to anyone else.
