Sig Awards #29 is now in progress!

This one is an homage to our missing Graphics Master, the.ronin

Is he on a sabbatical? Mexican prison? Undercover with the CIA? Drunk on a beach in Majorca? We don't know, but we're counting on you, trusty sig masters, to find out for us!

Prizes, as always, include absolutely nothing, other than bragging rights. That and a t-shirt. To claim your prize, find a t-shirt you already have, pull out a marker, and write "I won my own shirt in a GR.net sig contest." We won't laugh. A lot.
