Spring Madness Freebie Prize Draw!

[Update: That's this month's freebie prize draw closed to new entrants now. You can still rate, recommend, review, tweet, fb like, blog about it etc. to improve your chance of winning. You've got until the weekend, when I'll be doing the draw. Good luck!]

As some of you who are past winners will already know, this is a great chance to own some of my signed originals.

Valuable give-away prizes

It's been well over a year now since my last freebie prize draw. With January almost over and doom and gloom just about everywhere you look right now, I thought I'd do my bit to cheer up your New Year by announcing my most valuable give-away yet!

Where's the catch?

There isn't one! This is part of my marketing campaign to get my work "out there" and to get the word spread about it. With your help, by taking part, you'll give my website and photos much more exposure — just what a struggling artist needs, hehe!

The Prizes

The top prizes are two of my ex-exhibition fine art images on canvas, signed on the back by me to show they're originals. Not only those canvases, I'm also going to give away 3 second prizes of signed, mounted fine art prints of mine, all lovingly created in my home studio.

Hold on to your hat, I'm not finished yet... 5 lucky people will win a 5-pack random selection from my fine-art postcards, to either collect or send on to deserving friends.

And finally, on top of all that, 10 lucky people will win a 5.1cm square Rope Knot fridge magnet from my Zazzle store:

Yes, 20 prizes in total! How's that for Spring Madness?
