The art stuff if pretty awesome! Not as much as the camp fire though.

Looks like there's soon to be two new NC Mall items, too...

Green NeoBoard Pen - Add an extra set of preferences to your Neoboard posts for those days when you just cant decide which font set to use! This increase available NeoHTML and NeoSignatures space by 25% each!
Candy Corn Smiley Snack - Tasty and highly nutritious! Wait... scratch that last part. Well, at least your Neopet will be happy.

I really like the new foods and pottery! They're so pretty

Does anybody know what those 'extra set of preferences' are, and how long they last? Just another thing for me to be smurf off about. But still I'm curious as to exactly how it works. I'm especially miffed about the increase in available space. I'm always frustrated by the space limit when I'm making new sigs, but there's no way I'm paying three bucks for just a bit more room! (I spent very little time on the neoboards, but I like to put a lot of effort into my sigs, go figure)

I suspect this might be the reason changing neoboard preferences aren't working right now. >.>

I just like that the banner for Art Day is a parody of Sargent's Madame X.

Omg, me too. I tried bringing up how awesome this was on the neoboards last night (I know, what was I thinking..) And someone asked me how I knew the name of a neopets artist. So I think my point got a bit missed.

Anyway, I'm interested to see how the smock looks on the quadrupeds. And the gallery they chose this week was really lame for an art theme. But who knows, maybe I'm just bitter.

Aw... poor guy. I know how he feels when it comes to making Pottery. Heh. He'll get it... eventually.

Anyway, I like the new Art Themed Customisables but the Background looks a bit... cluttered. I suppose Art Studios are supposed to look like that and all... but yeah. ^^;; It's probably just me.

I'm confused about this too. My best guess would be that, in addition to the extra space, it would allow a user to switch between two sets of preferences at the time of post. Their description is more than slightly unclear.

The whole thing worries me a bit. All in all I'd love to know more about it if anyone has more information.

i agree i do quite like this banner aswell as the original.
When you have a brother who goes to art school and talks about photographers and artists all day you do evetually learn something about the art world.
