So, for the fun of it, I’m having a giveaway.

I made this monster for my young niece for Halloween (eight years old). Its a Monster that Swallowed a Hair ball, if you look close you can see the hairball.

Because I am not so good at story telling, I am asking that you leave a comment, or a comment and a poem about the monster or a comment and a small story ( a paragraph or two) to be entered in the giveaway. The first winner will be the story or poem that I choose to go with the monster. So, the comments with poems or stories will be be randomly chosen in a separate draw from those who only leave a comment and the winner will have first choice of prize.

If you would like to email your poem or short short story for privacy that is okay with me but please indicate here in a comment that you are emailing it. My email address is patricia at art propensity dot com

Leaving just comments (I do realize we all can’t write!) will have a chance at the remaining two giveaways.

You may have more than one chance at winning. Your name will be entered twice if you comment here and then blog about it on your own blog. And or, have multiple chances by tweeting it or posting it to facebook or twitter. You will need to leave a link in the comments to where you have posted it in order to get credit. I will use a “randomnizer” to pick the winners.

and the prizes are, a print of any of my original oils, 8.5 x 11 valued at 25.00 and this

Several weeks ago I entered a contest over at Red Ravine, you might remember this drawing

the contest was for Out of the Blue Films ( creates exceptional documentaries on important social issues that ignite positive action and promote open dialogue. Our mission is to foster the production of documentaries, feature films and web content of the highest caliber and widest reach; to tell inspiring stories that explore, articulate, educate, and celebrate humanity).

They are doing a documentary called Envy

“A bold, insightful, and humorous feature-length documentary on the causes and consequences of that most corrosive human emotion: ENVY.”

They have created an Envy website Its exciting to receive “Honorable Mention” but I didn’t hesitate to tell them that while its great to receive honorable mention I did indeed ENVY the person who won the Kindle!!
