Okay folks, this should work and the portrait and video are my submissions for Art Every Day. I’m crossing my fingers and eyes on this. I don’t have four weekends to drag this thing out. My patience ain’t working that way no more, so here are the rules:

  • Name the person in the video. You get to see a picture and hear her voice. Got it?
  • Next, state her name in the comment section, along with a number between 15 – 30. The numbers will be used in the case of a tie. If your number matches or comes close to the number Little Totsy draws out, you are the winner. Follow me?
  • There can be three winners and there will be three different prizes. The prizes are: One original work of art. Prize No. 2 is an assorted set of flat note cards printed from my artwork. Prize No. 3 is a single portrait of what you send to me via email.
  • You have until November 14 at midnight (eastern time) to enter.

To the winner of the portrait, please make sure you send me a clear photo. I haven’t seen my glasses around here since early September but I’ve had a heavy dose of carrot juice over the last few weeks. Still, I ain’t putting no time into squinting up at some picture you’ve taken at the club drinking with your buddies and whatnot. It ain’t gonna work that way. I need something I can see straight on, so I can take care of you and go on about some other business. Remember, I’m only producing one portrait with one person in it.

For the folks who win the other prizes, I won’t be making but one trip to the post office. Everything will be mailed off to y’all once that portrait is all done up. I simply don’t wanna be back and forth to no post office during this holiday season. It won’t be an oil portrait or nothing, so you won’t have to wait long, so bear with me.

Now, after the winners are chosen, a second drawing will determine who gets what prize. I’ll announce the winners a week from today and who’s getting what. From there, you’ll make your way over to my contact page and send me your address so we can wrap it up. I’ll email you folks the day I mail your prizes out. Any questions, just ask. I don’t bite but hey, I think ole Herman might like to nibble on ya. (wink, wink y’all)

Watercolor & Ink on paper. Single white mat. Art Size: 6.5x4.5 Matted Size: Approx. 12.25x10.5 Copyright 2011. Totsymae

Getting an early start. I come bearing gifts, folks but here’s the deal. I don’t like long lines at the post office. I know, a sorry way to propose an idea, ain’t it? Hear me out first. For the month of November, what’s mine is yours. At least, what I choose to be yours anyway. Sorry about that. We simply have to set some limits. I don’t want you getting beside yourself.

First off, I don’t have any electronic gifts for you to download or email to you. Therefore, in order to receive the gift, you have to email your address to me. Now, don’t go thinking I’m in the business of finding you or nothing. As much as I like you, I ain’t interested in you that way. Plus, I have a poor navigation system, which simply means I don’t have one set up on the dashboard of my car ’cause I figure Mapquest can get me just as  lost for the cost of a little ink and a sheet of paper. You wouldn’t believe how many states I’ve been to on account of lostness. Lastly, since I have a knack for ending up lost, I wouldn’t be the one driving up on you to say boo, stick’em up and get your ass out the car or none of that foolishness.

Now that we’ve ironed that out, you’ll have to do certain things to get this gift. Each week offers something different, which I’ll post on here. So. It’s real simple y’all. All you gotta do is name the artist of the tune I present you with. Write your response in the comment section, of course. Also, pick a number, between 25 – 45 and write that in the comment section too. I’m asking you to pick a number in case there’s a tie. I’ll have Little Totsy or Mr. Boy draw a number and that’ll finalize who wins for the week. Winners will be announced next weekend. No gift is the same for each week, folks but I think you’ll like them all the same.

Now, back to me not liking post office lines. I ain’t going but once, y’all, so after the four weeks are over, I’ll mail your gifts.  I’ll let you know each week who won so everybody can clap for you and whatnot. This week’s gift is an original piece of art. It’s unframed and matted with archived material. That simply means the mat won’t change colors on you. You’ll have to get your own frame now. The framed stuff I have here is mine or for paying customers. Anyhow. Expect to see other contest offerings for the rest of the month, every weekend. Now, don’t go emailing your address unless you win. I’m not in the address collecting business.

From here, all you have to do is click the video and there’s your song, folks. Play as many times as you like but you can only win once. Easy, enough? By the way, the video is my art for Creative Every Day.
