JonathonVolkmer’s Shakespear’s SquidGirl Caeser
Squidgirl, written by Shakespeare for performance as a grammar school play when he was still a boy, has long been thought lost to the modern world. However, after long searching, I have come into ownership of a partial manuscript of the play. Judging from the following excerpts it would seem that the Bard based one of his later plays on this, his first great tale.
Excerpts from the final scene of “SQUIDGIRL,” one of Shakespeare’s lost plays:
From ACT 1, SCENE 2:
SHARK ANTONY
I shall remember:
When Squidgirl says “Do this,” it is perform’d.SQUIDGIRL
Set on; and leave no ceremony out.SOOTHSAYER
Squidgirl!

I am impressed by them all, but the FB page by animaumbrae is definitely the winner.

Well, I think each entry has merit. Duskreign’s illustration has good color and good proportion, WesleyKinsmanHall’s is very relatable, it’s hard to make a layered song like Duskreign’s other entry, Erwin’s piece represents the plight of any hard-working mother (cephalopod or no), and I think JonathonVolkmer’s exhibits good wit and rare culture.
Though I could see how you’d be biased towards mine, seeing as how you’re my fiancee.

LOL. Thanks, David. And Bonny, you go right on supporting him! Bias is one of the fringe benefits of marriage.
As one of the contestants, I suppose I shall abstain from voting. I am psyched just to be a part of this!

They are all wonderful and quirky, but I have to throw my vote in for AnimaUmbrae and the SquidGirl Facebook page. I especially love the sushi wall post about whether she ate calamari.
Great Job Everyone!

An excellent set of finalist. However, since I can only choose 1 it has to be AnimaUmbrae’s SquidGirl’s Facebook Page.

Some excellent entries. I’m going to have to go with Duskreign’s art – amazing shading detail there. Very nice work.

Certainly every art form has its’ merit, though, for me, the written word is always that grandest of accomplishments. My vote for our shakespearian, props to those of you with graphical talent, that which I lack most. Credit is due to the facebook page as well, though I saw it only as a single still since facebook is the anti-me and never has my computer crossed that baleful threshold.

Thanks for the props Phayt and Duskreign, and congratulations to all of my fellow finalists. I haven’t followed the race too closely, but I think you’ve got a good shot at the top spot Dusk!
