I follow 
Laika House on Instagram to get peeks at the upcoming movie Boxtrolls and everything else they work on. As I have 
expounded before I am fascinated by the handcrafted quality of the work that goes into their movies. 
So when I saw a post where they were calling for submissions for Coraline fan art, for the 5th anniversary of it being released, I knew I had to enter. Prize is a pair of the limited edition Nike shoes from the 2009 release which I also tried to win at that time.

Submission was sent on February 6th... we will see what happens. FINGERS CROSSED

| Bonus: Me and my little me. | 
UPDATE: So the submissions are voted on to win. I dislike that, since it's basically a popularity contest and not a random chance to win now. Oh well, at least I had a good time being inspired to make something fun and got to continue to work on my watercolor skills.
