i need a favor
My coach asked me to try this, and I think it's a good idea, so here I go!

Would you post in the comments 3 to 5 descriptive words you think of when looking at my artwork?

Need to look at some art to think? Here's a link to my portfolio, and my commission portfolio.

As a bonus for doing this favor for me, you could win FREE STUFF! oh boy!

I will draw out of a hat one winner and send you a signed copy of my 2nd book. Another winner will get a free set of my Poppet® Kitty stamps from Lazar StudioWerx!

I'll do the drawing when I get back from CHA on Thursday February 1st, so you have time to think!

Thanks for your help!

EDITED -- February 1st -- WINNERS HAVE BEEN CHOSEN!
I printed all 120+ posts for the contest, then cut them all up and Paul helped me draw out of a hat. Here are the winners!

Jayna won a copy of my 2nd book!
Lana R won a set of Poppet® Kitty stamps from Lazar StudioWerx!

I will email you both and send out your prizes right away-- Jayna I don't have your email, can you please send it to me?

Thanks to everyone who played. That was fun! I think I'll do another contest soon :)

Claudine--I purposely didn't look at everyone else's first--but I see a lot of us feel the same way about your art. Here are mine:
fresh
naive
reminiscent
uncluttered
whimsical
(I had to look reminiscent up in the dictionary just now--for spelling. I think, after looking through the list, that nostalgic is probably a better word.)

Good mix of black and white, colors and patterns.
Long legs and short upper parts of the body?
Women without arms? Helpless? Disturbing.
But as not being an artist i can not really talk!
However the collages urge my desire to be creativ.
Thank You! Sorry for my directness.

Although it's too late to enter the contest, I thought I'd add a couple thoughts I didn't see in the comments. I've come to realize that I'm at a time in my life in which I like books and movies to be about interesting, quirky characters with happy endings (and stories well told). Your art is the visual equivalent of this kind of story. Fun and heart-warming, yes, but also your design sense and drawing skill is obvious (the "well-told" part).

By the way, I recently bought your second book and am looking forward to making some poppet-influenced art with my daughter.
 
child-like
innocent
