On the 6th Day of christmas...

Sure I'll take all 6...

back story time! Aphrodite rides a goose around. No clue where she got it, in this imagining, it was a gift as part of a whole gaggle.

Twitter drive is on going! check it out (post is Mildly NSFW if your workplace is offended by pencil markings that can be seen as representing nipples)

On the Fifth Day of Christmas...

 Bracelets
 Good Hair
 Olympia revisited
 Flower
Leia before Leia

5 French Postcards! Confused? Come to Dickens Fair next year hang out at Mad Sal's for the end of the day and everything will be clear.

Hey do you have twitter? Are you a fan of free art? I need some more twitter followers, you need free art, we can all win...all of us, except by all of us I mean Twenty Six of us.

Here's the Deal. the first 25 people to follow me on twitter and tweet a link to my sketchblog will receive a print of one of the postcards above in the mail, just like a real postcard! There will only be 4 prints of each, so first come first served. One person per a postcard will be chosen at random (I'll be using random.org) and will instead receive the original drawing. 

Disclaimers and restrictions. First there are tiny dots that are representative of nipples. Due to the fact that the models depicted are female the American government and post office in particular will consider them to be offensive. To combat this I will be making modified envelopes so the postcards can get stamped by the Post Office, but they won't freak out about tiny dots. This also means I can't send these to you if you are under 18, sorry, you'll have to get your offensive pencil dots somewhere else. By entering into this give away you agree to these terms and conditions. Further, family members, you're awesome, but in the interest of fairness (and because you have a shot at stuff like this at normal christmas) you are not eligible for this give away. Sorry. You too will have to get your offensive pencil dots some other way.

What exactly do you have to do?!? Follow me on Twitter @Joshings_Art
Tweet a link to this blog www.joshingsart.blogspot.com
tag me in the tweet
Send me a private message on the twitter with a valid mailing address and a ranked list of the postcards (I'll try to get everyone a copy of their favorite, but It will depend on availability)

More Disclaimers. I will not be saving anyone's mailing address unless you specify that you'd like to be on my snail mail list. I occasionally send out flyers for shows and will be sending out holiday cards  (next year's will be a can can painting and a Saturnalia card).

So the stockings aren't so much hung from the chimney...

Lets face it, this is my favorite part of "Christmas Eve" so I figured I'd make it a part of christmas eve. The family does a round robin style gift exchange, and this was my contribution. The gifts must be either hand made or made in America. This qualified as both.
