Holiday Giveaway Contest!!!- Name the Artist

give

Above I have posted a small detail from a book I have reviewed at some point on the blog (not in one of the photos I posted but from a different page-so it’s pretty difficult). Guess the artist and you can receive the many prizes below- all shipped to you for free! Just enter your guess below in the comments section. First person to comment the right artist wins! Only one entry per person. If nobody gets it by ~~Friday,~~tomorrow I will zoom out a little and we’ll try again.

I thought it would be nice to do a little holiday giveaway with some of the extra copies of books I have for one reason or another. Thank you to Princeton Architectural Press and the people from When Santa Turned Green who accidentally sent me two copies of review books but have gladly agreed to let me give them away.

Here are the prizes for one lucky winner- see photos below—

1. When Santa Turned Green- reviewed yesterday on the blog here.

2. Minka- My Farmhouse in Japan by John Roderick- I haven’t gotten a chance to read it yet but it looks super interesting. Here’s more about it.

3. Oil- by Mark Murphy- a cool little zine- SIGNED and numbered full of drawings, written entires and commentary about oil. The backdrop of the zine is a fur trapper’s journal. Read more about it here.

4. McSweeney’s issue 23- ten stories from excellent writers and really beautiful art by Andrea Dezsö. Read more about it here.

5. Two small moleskins with graph paper interiors.

6. A limited edition Artist Series mug I designed for Urban Outfitters.

Thanks and good luck!

I’m going to guess Ryan Jacob Smith. The line quality seems similar, as does the paper color. Tough!

What a great way to get me to read all the posts I missed before I discovered your blog a few weeks ago.

My guess: jen corace. Maybe from her sketchbook, although I don’t know if this fall into the category of a “book” you’ve reviewed.
