SAM SPRATT’S SPRING PORTRAIT CONTEST/CUSTOM PORTRAIT/SIGNED PRINT GIVEAWAY!
Spring is around the corner which means as thanks to you for following me here, as usual—I am giving TWO of you the chance to win a custom portrait made by me, custom-tailored to your heart’s desire. Free, no strings attached.  The rules are simple, but read them so you can win.
What You Get:
A Web-resolution (1100 pixel) custom portrait, tailored to your most bizarre of requests. You can get a very traditional portrait done or as outlandish as you can dream. Zombies, Hipsters, Pirates, Ninjas, Superheroes, Robots, etc. are all fair-game themes in which you can have yourself transmogrified in painted form.
ADDITIONALLY, I’ll be giving 3 runner-ups their choice of a 13”x19” signed velvet archival print. Choices are: Sherlock, Ron Swanson, and Inspector Spacetime.
How to Enter:
FACEBOOK: Simply comment on the following facebook post. You get an extra entry if you click the “share” button and post it to your wall. ( Sam Spratt - Facebook Contest )
TWITTER: Follow http://twitter.com/#!/SamSpratt and tweet the following phrase verbatim on twitter: 
“ Entering to win a custom portrait #painting from @samspratt’s portrait contest! https://www.facebook.com/sam.spratt ”  
This also counts as an entry.
TUMBLR: Just reblog/like this post!
How long this will last:
This contest will run until April 6th, 2012. 
You all are the best! Good luck and thanks again to all who follow my little slice of artwork on the web.
NOTE: You must be a follower or subscriber at the time of the win. 
Why all this? Well, you’ve gotta write a big check with quite a few zeros at the end of it to commission art from me—and call me crazy, but I firmly believe that in a perfect world, people *should* get to own art AND do things like “pay rent”, “eat food-like substances on occasion”, and maybe even “continue to live”. Two of you can do that, the rest of you… you’re screwed. Sincerely, <3 Sam

Quiet Girl ft. Fika Fika Fika Christmas Giveaway

Yes, you read that right! Quiet Girl is holding a giveaway featuring items from  Philippine-based crafts store, Fika Fika Fika. I’ve always been in search for local independent crafts stores to promote on my blog. In this highly digitized and fast-paced society, arts and crafts and everything intricately made and written isn’t as much paid attention to as before. I like holding giveaways such as these to remind you to appreciate the little things in life and to remember what is heartfelt. Remember the days when you used to receive letters in the mail, colorful fragrant stationery from your seat mate, and the days when you took time to gather little items and trinkets for your friends and loved ones.

This Christmas, Quiet Girl and Fika Fika Fika want to share this childhood memory with you!

To get a chance to win, all you need to do are the following:

1. Be a follower of Quiet Girl’s Facebook -or- Quiet Girl.
2. Like Fika Fika Fika on Facebook -or- follow Fika Fika Fika on Google Friend Connect.
3. Comment on this entry -or- reblog this entry and mention that you have done the above.

Open to all. Contest will end on December 13, 2011.
The winner will be picked using a randomizer.
Happy Holidays and good luck!

For more information, please refer to the original blog post.

BY THE WAY! If you’re in Manila, Fika Fika Fika will be selling goods at the Brown Bag Vintage & Crafts Market this Friday. Click on the link for details. It’s the perfect place to buy Christmas gifts and handmade items! :)

Always with the most wonderful prizes on Earth. Look at all those lovely paper products. I covet.
