Time to vote for the Best of November! If you were a top 2000 active user last month, you will see a link to vote on your account page.

Today's daily Wacom winner is Drew Matson, aka Five-Iron!

Drew's first Flash submission came to NG in early 2005, with a gothic piece about a crow that brings him back from the grave.

Five-Iron's latest submission has shown the most promise yet! "Me Bill" is another collaboration with Kingbastard and you can see how both artists have progressed in recent years.

On Thursday I tossed out an idea for Thanksgiving break, inspired by LeafWorthy's Panda Fight. While LF's theme was "Pandas and Civil War", this theme was "Turkeys and the Rapture." Here are the resulting movies:

[DarkSoldier]

Congratulations Five-Iron!

[NakedOrange]

While I never heard of him, his flashes don't look half bad.

[Whirlguy]

Cool! Upstairs was an excellent movie.

[Nicholas-Deary]

The most deserving author ever! Upstairs is an amazing flash and you should all see it!

[HungarianSupermarket]

HAHA yeah man. Upstairs was an awesome piece of work.
Five-Iron hit the ball out of the park with his interpretation of Kingbastard's music.

[Feuse]

Cool!

i like Me Bill!

Congrats man! :)

[M1K3-B]

Upstairs is easily my favorite flash on newgrounds.

[DaveB4T]

Five iron has been on my list of artists to finish watching for a while, and considering how great Upstairs was back in the day, I should have watched all his flashes earlier.

[JOHNNY29]

Congratulations.

[Timmy]

It's really cool to see how his animations have grown more crisp and stylistic over the years. I remember his crow flash, but strangely enough I haven't seen any of his work since then.

Congrats, Five-Iron

[cHunter]

Gratz Five-Iron! He definitely has a lot of impressive works under his belt.

None of them over the 3.00 mark, strangely enough.

[Shadowii2]

I barely remember watching Five-Iron's first submission back in the days, but I really have to go watch it again, as I have forgotten the stuff about it by now.

Never became familiar with Five-Iron's other work after that one, appearantly.
Gotta check them out!

Also, gongratulations Five-Iron.

There was a deadline, you know. It's hard to make a good flash in such short time.
