Hey Box, I hope the weather and turnout is good for the challenge. It's bad enough not fishing when I have a display to set up under the tent, but seeing the Hoo's hanging at the dock makes it even worse. So I just have to paint them and pretend I'm out there sometimes. I know you wanted me to put some art work up on the site and as you know I use to do that frequently and have a little contest for naming the artwork and the winner getting a print. But over the summer one member accused me of using the site to only sell my artwork and that I should be an advertiser at least to help the site out instead of using it for my own benefit. I previously had a banner ad and stopped it due to my business name changing and revamping my site (which is now complete). I fully intend on starting my advertising here again and am currently waiting for admin to contact me.
If the other members don't think I'm trying to take advantage of the site without giving back I have no problem putting up a new piece of art when I complete one. The last thing I want to do is cause a problem. I love this site, there are alot of great people and wealth of info here which I will admit helps me in planning a painting or a tournament display. Sorry to rattle on I just wanted you to know why I havn't posted in some time. I look forward to seeing you this week at the Calcutta Wahoo Challenge. Lets hope the sky doesn't look like it does in my painting "Feeder Ban" below (I didn't think posting one painting would hurt since it's a Wahoo
Merry Marlin, my website is www.markraystudio.com. My avatar is actually a new piece I painted yesterday since my stompin ground is Carolina. It's the Cape Lookout lighthouse (you problably already knew that). Below is a low res. image of it.

Mark, so glad you are back on the board. I was wondering why you had not posted in a while. I for one will tell you now to post away as much as you like. don't let other people tell you that again. You were an advertiser and I konw that you will get back to doing it again as you my friend are a man of your word. Try and send Jer a PM about this and he will get going on it ASAP. Should this happen again, let Box or myself know. I love the Sailfish Tile I got from you 3 years ago. Love your new art work, looks great and hope to get to see you at the Wahoo Chalange...
I appreciate your input and I'll be getting the ad set back up hopefully before I leave Wed. a.m. for Morehead. Look forward to seeing you this week in Whooville! Thanks
