i just popped over to the spectrum site to see when the deadline was for this year and was met with this lovely painting by one of my personal artistic heroes, peter de seve:

gosh.
to be absolutely clear here: i'm not accusing peter de seve, the fenners, or anyone associated with spectrum of anything. i will say only that i guess great minds really do think alike.
and, peter, i got there first. (winking sideways smiley face)
UPDATE: i guess charles addams got there first. (see comments)
UPDATE, THE SECOND: de Sève speaks! ... and says some very nice things. thanks for being a good sport, peter.
