You're an ANIMAL!

Hola, Como estas?

Yes thats right bandits and banditos, another week has passed through the hourglass, and its time to take a look at the wonderful work you've all coughed up.

Not as many entries this week

But next weeks task is a Self Portrait as Mexican Bandit!
Now thats a good one no?
This is a special one - everyone who does their Mexican self-portrait will get a wee feature/bio/interview in the magazine. Major plans are underway to get the Bandits in print. It's looking hopeful!
