Cure artwork
"After seeing the Cure art you posted up I thought I should send in a photo of the painting given to my mum for her birthday last year by a friend of hers. (Thanks April)
"Seeing as you're on the subject of Cure Artwork, I thought I'd send you this. I drew this with chalk back in 1989 at art college. I was pretty proud of it back then and still am." (Thanks Steve)
"In my college drawing class we were assigned a project where you layer the numbers 1-5 and fill in the negative space with a theme of some sort. Well, after many failed themes i decided to do artwork from Cure albums/singles! I wanted to share this with you all. I'm really really happy with it. (My art teacher also thought it was awesome. I got an A)." (Thanks Tara/believer_ko)
"Hi I'm Benjamien t'Kindt, a Belgian cure fan, and here is my cure wall painting. I worked 2 weeks on it, drawing and painting. And the cure fans like the results, so maybe you can put it on your site." (Thanks Benjamien)
