Sarah of Salad for Breakfast has drawn the winner of the Notebooks, Etc. giveaway on her blog. In Sarah’s words: “I’m so pleased that this giveaway had such a huge turnout! This one racked over 100 entries in less than 10 hours from being launched…craziness I tell you!” So thank you! The winner, in a draw made by Sarah:

165

#165 is Bill And Lorie Shewbridge!

Congratulations! I already have your mailing address and will be getting your prize out to you soon.

I am floored to have over 300 comments on that particular post and reading the comments was insightful as a shop owner– I know what people like and would like to see more of in my shop. I am particularly thrilled to know that my non-kawaii drawings (in particular, the squirrel and the hot air balloons) are receiving as much love as my anthropomorphic kawaii illustrations. It encourages me to draw more things for my own personal enjoyment/satisfaction and not be so much of a sell out with the tried and tested commercial stuff. Haha.

With over 300 comments on that post (384 to be exact), I felt it would be a shame to have only one winner. So with Sarah’s permission, I went ahead to pick another number using random.org’s Random Number Generator to win a consolation prize.

79

Congratulations, Aik! Please respond to my e-mail within 48 hours or I may pick another winner :)

Thank you to everyone who participated in my first giveaway and a huge thank you to Sarah from Salad for Breakfast for hosting it!

And by the way, WEDGIENET.NET turns eight years old today! Happy birthday, domain! This website has actually been inactive longer than it has had real content (I started updating this site again only last year, after years and years of inactivity and “Under construction, please check back soon” front pages) but I am trying my best to keep this blog updated with new work. I have updates and new images coming in the next few days!

Readers, we have a giveaway.

I am giving away a set of sushi stationery to 1 lucky person who leaves a comment on this particular post on Salad for Breakfast. Just read the full details and mechanics of the contest on that site and join away… Sarah of SFB will be using a random number generator to pick a winner but I might just pick out another consolation prize winner myself. Wink, wink!

This contest runs until July 9th and is open to EVERYONE. Goodluck!

Also check out the Google Friend Connect widget thingee I installed on the right sidebar. What it does is it lets you “follow” my blog and receive new posts right on your Blogger dashboard/Google Reader when I update! That means you don’t have to come ’round this site to check for new posts (and find none). Instead, you’re updated a few minutes after I hit “publish” on this blog.

Please join as it’s really sad seeing only two followers (and I’m one of them, too). I just discovered there’s a small number of people already following my blog via Google Reader, though. I’m surprised. I thought I only had two visitors or something. Won’t you come out from lurking and introduce yourself? :)

It’s a sweet and slightly sour Lemon cupcake! With a bear face on it. I completely forgot I have this illustration of a “cupcake bear” which I only found while cleaning out my folders. I think this is going to be a good fit to Illustration Friday’s “sour” theme even though I’ve already submitted for this week.

Bears and cupcakes are among my favorite things so this is an unbeatable combination for me. This is just one of four related images I’m putting on stickers and button pins which are going on sale over at my Etsy shop– watch this space. I’ll announce it as soon as I have it. (If you have an RSS reader, you can also subscribe to my RSS feed for updates)

And speaking of button pins, the giveaway is still active– Leave a comment at the post to get the chance to win one of four button pins, free! Who doesn’t like free stuff?

And an update on my Threadless submission: 400+ votes in 1 day– keep them coming! I really appreciate the efforts of everyone who took the time to cast their vote! Thank you! :)

For Illustration Friday’s Sour theme. As they say, there’s no use in crying over spilt milk. Especially if it’s milk gone sour.

Comments will be appreciated! :)

My shirt design up for scoring on Threadless

A little over a week ago I submitted my Monster Sushi illustration for a t-shirt design over at Threadless. It’s been approved for scoring and I would really appreciate it if you head on over there to vote! A high overall score helps the Threadless team in deciding which shirts to print and a printed design wins the designer $2000 freakin’ dollars. That’s big money when converted to Pesos; equivalent to around seven months worth of rent on my condo!

So please vote and vote 5 ;) You will need to register after voting (if you don’t already have an account with them) to make your vote count. Registering isn’t that much of a drag because Threadless is a cool site anyway where you can rate fantastic shirt designs and if they get printed, you have the option to buy the shirt(s) you voted for. So head on over there and vote for Monster Sushi!

WEDGIENET.NET button giveaway

If you found your way over here through Illustration Friday’s link viewer (or anywhere else, for that matter), I invite you, dear visitor, to enter my blog giveaway! Simply leave a comment (any comment!) on this blog entry to win one of four pinback buttons, free! It’s open to all, wherever you are in the world, whether we know each other or not! :)
