Great entries everyone 
I’ve always been a fan of the MNC because they have forced and inspired me to think up and complete an image within a deadline. Thanks to those who organise them 
Stonecutter: I really like what you’ve done with Juandel’s model. It reminds me of the logo of the art supply shop my friend’s parents own. Unfortunatly they ditched that logo a while ago, but it was of three cartoon characters (a pencil, a brush and ? - memory!
) running along pell-mell. I used to stocktake for them as a kid and indulge in touching the paper, sniffing the wood of the pencils and putting little dents in the big tubes of oil paint 
Strange the things that trigger nostalgic reveries. That’ll be a thank you then for helping me to remember something that had entered the ‘taken for granted’ basket
