Art-contest with topic `Irish culture and dances`

Actually i`ve discovered this contest 1-2 days ago, but the deadline is today. So during these days my head was stuffed with thoughts, ideas what to draw. Thanks to my Irish friend, an idea has finally come in time and got polished to the end :) 

Contest is dedicated to event- in Moskow comes back the dancing show `The Lord of the Dance` with Irish dances. Site announced art-competition with task `to make design, illustration or make a photo which is connected with Irish culture or dances. If you choose dances you can make a work not connected with Ireland` (to be honest, this last position confused me...)  

Drawing is made with black liners, Promarkers, black marker and acrilic paints.

Celtic ornament, celtic crosses (very small though...), round tower, village crossroad dances, national green color- aren`t these are the things which assotiated with Irish culture? 

I even made there a Stalin dancing... accidentally, of course :D

And.... some weird sketches 

Competition in the name of Anton Chekhov

I`ve decided to particepate in contest which is helded in the name of famous Russian writer Anton Chekhov

 This competition generally consists of Writing-, Literature -nominations, but one of them is `Illustration`. So I`ve grabbed opportunity to make couple of drawings based on story `A man in a case` (in the end I`ve discovered that there is only one art needed)

After 15.01.13 it will be clear if my work taken into the next part of competition~
Materials: black liners, promarkers and watercolors.

And this is the extra illustration

Please, leave in comments your opinion and impressions about my works! It is needed for any development :) You can write here even as Anonimous if you think I`ll get upset or angry with your words:)).
