Got any unemployed Community Artists?

Hi there Mina,

Following a recent conversation about bilingual babies(F19585?thread=230929), I've tried creating a 'bilingual baby alphabet' for h2g2 (don't ask me why - it just seemed like a good idea at the time!)

The trouble is that I can't find appropriate blobs for all the letters. What's the chance of commissioning the Community Artists to produce some if I give you a list of what's missing?

Oh, and the alphabet entries start at A916184

smiley - cheers

We're not taking any commisions at the moment I'm afraid. smiley - sadface

We're hoping to allow the smiley - artist to design for the Community, but it'll be limited to clubs and societies. Can you turn it into a society? If it's well-run and has lots of active members, then you'll be eligible for a piccy...

smiley - ok Can't blame me for trying smiley - winkeye
smiley - erm Can I turn it into a society? Not really, it was more of a one-off set of entries... I don't think this sort of document currently exists, either on the web or in real life so I thought it might be good to put one together here...

Ok, I'll resort to plan 2: hanging around the front page and the graphics libraries until blobs appear that I can use. When it's eventually finished it might be worth giving it a bit of publicity on the PtoP site...

smiley - cheers

Posted to PtoP feedback, but I get this strange feeling that the only person likely to answer that thread is Peta... Can't seem to find any way of directly contacting anyone on their staff (it's a bit confusing as the DNA section is completely integrated into the BBC/Parenting site as a whole - they don't even appear to use entries on the site.

The only other posting on there wasn't even answered. I suppose you can only wait and see. They don't have entries there, because they want people to talk about the things that they put up - it's a place for questions and answers really.
