MY WEEK of Interviews and Giveaway

If you have been following my posts the last few weeks, you know the Mini-Interviews are entering their 4th week tomorrow. If you didn’t know about them, you may want to go back and read Molly’s, Mikela’s and Laura’s posts. They are filled with great information and they are at times extremely funny.

Now, Juana, what’s the purpose of this post? Really! Getting quickly to the point: My Week is FINALLY here! Well, tomorrow but still… it’s here! Woop! Woop! So in my excitement I may double, triple or quadruple post this week. Or I may not. You shall came back and see.

I also know that MY week falls on the American Turkey Holiday week. So I thought I’d let everyone know that if you are in the US, there’s a safe place to escape from crowds, turkey and stuffing. I’ll be here as planned.

My week of Mini-Interviews come with a Giveaway. I debated for weeks: books, prints, original illustrations. It was really hard to decide so Saturday I painted something for this week. And she is right below here thinking, “Really?!”

The illustration is painted on a 12″x12″ canvas and has lots of texture, my signature on the front and info with my stamped logo on the back. Yes, I stamp every single illustration or painting that I do. I’m anal like that. But, scroll down and see images of the original sketch and details of the painting that can be yours. How? Well, tune in tomorrow for Part 1 of the mini-interviews and details on how to enter this Giveaway.

And here is a curious note: for one of those reasons that I never try to explain, just Friday I got a box with some books where she+padding fit perfectly. Perfectly. That’s great news for the lucky winner of Monday, November 28th *!

And now the last picture of the illustration ready to go (minus padding). You just have to come back tomorrow to read the Mini-Interview and enter the giveaway. See you then!

* Shipping Note – I will be covering the shipping charges when mailed within the continental US. If the winner resides outside of the country or the continental US, I will contact the winner with shipping charges and estimated date of delivery. Thanks for understanding!

    Hi Juana! I followed the link to your blog from the Great Comment Challenge. I saw your name and knew I hadn’t been here for a while.

    I love your site! Did you create it with Headway Themes? I really like the layout. Nice job!

    Take care and I’ll see you on FB I’m sure :)

    Love your work! Thanks for the reply too! BTW how did you create the copyright watermark? Did you have any bad experiences that prompted this or is it standard practise to include it?

    I really enjoyed the transition from sketch to full picture – quite a change! (I guess like going from draft to finished manuscript) The picture itself is stunning.

    So pleased to have found this site through the comment challenge and to meet you and Sofia. Liked the quick overview from sketch to finished illustration.. I’m going to check out the Pexeto themes too. Thanks for the tip.
