Poor girl , I hope after the victory for her there is a more worthy cause than the cleaning and washing dishes .
I liked the rice . 5, 9, 10. But on the whole medium .

"After the victory at San Diego Romanova seriously interested in the ocean. Even offered to come and give master classes for beginners to foreign artists. And when found out that in Russia a long time she has worked in puppet theater , then lit up a new idea.
- I learned that San Diego is no puppet , nay, they have no idea where to begin - smiles Romanov. - Of course, they need someone who will take it on themselves. I still think and wait for an official invitation. If it is still forthcoming, it is likely to accept it .. ".

Fairly primitive graphics, but for the newly-minted Cinderella goes.
If this is the best, then what other members have submitted?

I've been in this cartoon graphics plan that few understand, but the story itself is interesting and not be happy for the artist , I can not . In the U.S., this genre is very well developed in the coffee business there in a plot sense knows appreciated , I think.

Maybe not so many of our cartoonists participate in this competition and of UR found interesting the exotic ? And what a contest should still find out - at least in San Diego and lived nearly half a million, but it is not New York or Los Angeles , I suppose .

I wonder , would have been on CNN talking about the victories of American cartoonists in Russia? ) ) )
