My first Monday Giveaway!

Posted on February 2nd, 2009 in Giveaways


I’m so excited about my FIRST weekly blog giveaway! John W. Golden’s work is wonderful and he was kind enough to offer this set of three 5×7 prints from his Lunastrella series for my readers. This is my favorite set from his site, but since I can’t win them, I am putting them on my wish list. I also love the print of the low-top sneakers. His prints can be made with many different colour backgrounds, to fit in with any colour scheme.

His Etsy shop is here
Etsy just did a feature on John the other day and it’s here

John been involved in art since he was 11 years old. In that time, he has created a large catalog of work in photography and illustration, and his commercial work in design and animation has been seen on Cartoon Network, Animal Planet, Nickelodeon, CBS, TNT, TBS, PBS, and TechTV.

He creates all his work digitally, mostly starting with a blank screen and using the mouse or a pen and graphics tablet to create an image. He uses scans in his collage work, but everything else is painted or drawn within the computer.

Here’s how to enter to WIN this great set of fun space prints! It’s so easy…

    I thought it was going to be a really tough choice to pick a favorite until I found this! The Enamored Moths:

    Oh my gosh, I think I have to agree with Lisa, pretty much word for word. There were so many wonderful and inventive prints that I was sure I’d never settle on what I liked best… Until I got to The Enlightened Fireflies and The Enamored Moths prints. Absolutely gorgeous!

    wow! his work is all really good – and there’s so much of it! I like the The Rovinato Series the best, I think. In particular the ‘Ocean Pier’. Thanks for the opportunity to win some his great work! :)

    I’m totally torn between the “Brush Your Teeth” and the Pug. Actually, the Brush Your Teeth is my favorite and I love the pug print because James loves all things pugs so I carry his obsession with me. I’ve actually seen this shop before and I’ve always thought it was great!
