and it wasn't just #drawing / #digitalPainting; that same #Kunstbende edition I participated in 3 different categories:
#poetry (with my poem #SilverRain, if memory serves me well)
#expo (in which #TurkeyPower was submitted)
• and some kind of then-new #digitalMedia category, to which I submitted some kind of interactive image viewer in #MacroMedia Flash.

The only #originalContent creation I do now (and rarely) is #coding, and the occasional creative toot.

#personal

Sorry that I had to delete & repost it, again, because I noticed a glaring typo... The #Kunstbende competition I participated in was in 2002, not 2012.
I guess my subconscious doesn't want to feel old by accepting it's already almost 2 decades ago. 🤔😕

Anyway, about 2½ years later, I took the afore-tooted #art competition image, #TurkeyPower, and played around with it some more as I explored the then-new beta of #PaintShopPro 9:

I kinda miss how creative I was back then…

Now that #Thanksgiving aka #TurkeyDay has passed, let's have a wake to commemorate the #turkeys that filled people's stomachs 😏: https://mastodon.social/media/_1b22M1IAS2h2-anQWg

I made this #digitalPainting, #TurkeyPower: The Wake, back in #2002 to participate in #Kunstbende, a #Dutch crossmedia #art competition for youth aged 12–18 years.

I was awarded a third place in the regional preliminary of the province #NoordHolland, and it was on display during the national finale in #Utrecht.
