[Chemin-noir] seeking artists

[Miles Grey]

Just in case folks were wondering about the "baskets" mentioned below, 
Ansteorra is to gift Outlands at Gulf Wars this year, so these items 
will go into those gift baskets.  I didn't see that mentioned elsewhere 
on the Chemin Noir mailing list (but I may have missed it), so I thought 
I'd pass that along in case anyone was wondering.  It's a Good Thing.  :-)
