As much as I enjoy posting 31x45 puzzles to celebrate milestones (because multiples of 25 are clearly milestones), I'm running out of things to say about them. Hopefully I'll have more to say about my next 31x45 puzzle. :)
Well, I guess I'll say this, since some people seem not to notice when I try to say it unobtrusively in a prefix to the comment form: do not leave a comment claiming a puzzle has multiple solutions unless you can either explain why in a manner that doesn't entirely spoil the puzzle for future readers, or accompany said comment with an e-mail explaining the ambiguity even more uncertainly. While I have made mistakes before when I am overly confident in my own logic, this particular puzzle was test-solved by two individuals who would have undoubtedly noticed such an error. Additionally, please don't spoil what results from shading in the areas with black dots; I would prefer to discuss that via e-mail.
On a completely unrelated note, Sudoku fans may be interested in this Advent calendar David Millar's been working on.

Puzzle 248: Artist's Block 7
I've been semi-addicted to the picture-forming logic puzzles of Conceptis lately; inspired by them, I told myself that I'd build a new Artist's Block puzzle, even if it killed me. And I did it! :D
Puzzle 224: Artist's Block 5
Apparently, my blog's readers demand more Artist's Block puzzles. Here you go!
Rules -- Artist's Block
Artist's Block was invented by the Japanese puzzle company Nikoli (under the name Tentai Show).
1. Divide the grid into black and white pieces along the grid lines, according to the following rules. (The solution will form a picture.)
2. Every piece must contain exactly one entire dot.
3. Every piece must have 180-degree rotational symmetry, with the dot being at the center of symmetry for that piece.
4. Every piece must match the color of its corresponding dot.
